My brother used to butter saltines, then heat 'em up to melt the butter by holding them next to a light bulb.
Yesterday, my husband was in the mood for what struck me as a dreadful combo for dinner - curry chicken with mac & cheese.

Bite your tongue! Shakshouka is awesome. I only discovered it last year when I was looking for a poached egg in tomato sauce recipe (thinking it would be a good combo.) One of my favorite breakfasts.
Yes. All kinds of eggs. Omeletes, scrambled, FRIED - and no, it’s not a PA thing. He grew up in Chicago/Arlington Heights, IL. I think he’s just weird.
Not that YOU are weird - I don’t even KNOW you.
Ketchup on eggs is really common. Though I like to think grown-ups graduate to sriracha on eggs. I’ve been known to throw on a little barbecue sauce sometimes…
As a game, my sisters an I cam up with weir foo combinations. One we came up with was cucumbers dipped in mustard, which actually turned out to be not so bad in reality. Sauerkraut with peppermint sauce was one we never had the courage to test!
Braunschweiger liver sausage with mayo on rye bread is actually wonderful no matter what anyone else says. Cheese only makes it better.
Huh. All this time I thought I was the only one who ate buttered saltines, having dreamed it up as a child as a great side dish for my ramen soup. Does that mean I’m also not the first person to think of spreading peanut butter on my chocolate chip cookies?
I once grilled up a bunch of steaks that I had pre-seasoned for a party. One guy I knew proceeded to douse his entirely in ketchup before he ate it. I died a little on the inside.
I like a little ketchup on eggs! A toasted white bread/ hard-fried egg / American cheese sammitch from a dingy diner, wrapped in wax paper and brought back to the office for lunch the day before payday (75 cents about 30 years ago) - and dipped in ketchup from a McD packet found in the back of the drawer - fond memories!
I agree about the olives. Blue cheese stuffing - wretched. Gorgonzola, a tiny bit better. Feta - can’t get enough. Wonder why? There’s not that much difference in the three cheeses.
They are a marshmallow biscuit treat popular in the UK, Canada and Europe.
Hey!
I haven’t read the other posts yet, but I LOVE saltines with butter! :eek: OOOOOOOOOOOh, fat + salt
I mean, yeah, it’s just (essentially) bread & butter. I don’t understand why it would be considered weird, much less “awful.”
Huh. That sounds pretty similar to Mexican huevos rancheros, which is basically poached eggs with salsa. I guess, if you don’t like runny poached eggs … (which I do!)
I put M&Ms into a turkey-on-bagel sandwich in high school once and ate it. It was … surprisingly not-bad, I suppose because turkey works better with sweetness than most other meats (honey-roasted, turkey with cranberry jelly, etc.)
Raw fish with lime juice and cheese sauce.
No actually, I kid. I love tiraditos a la huancaina. It’s delicious! (But if had known what it was when I ordered it, I never would have!!)
On the flip side, here’s a food/drink combination I like that some of my friends find very odd: French fries with a glass of milk. I don’t think anyone finds it actually “disgusting”, but some of my friends think it’s very weird. I’m not entirely sure why - maybe the combination of something healthy and something unhealthy?
At first I thought you mean french fries in a glass of milk.
A big glass of cold milk goes with everything!
(that’s milk without fries floating in it)
I have one that is obvious: Homer Simpson’s idea for nuts and gum.
I think a water chestnut and chunky peanut butter sandwich would be pretty awful.
No, I have never dipped fries in milk.
Though, talking to some university students, apparently the combination of eating French fries and ice cream at the same time is popular. shrugs
When I was a kid, one of my favorite side dishes at Sunday lunch was bananas cut in half lengthwise, then topped with Ann Page mayonnaise and cut into thirds, and then topped with a pecan half. It’s pretty tasty.
A friend of mine’s sister used to eat soya sauce sandwiches.
From personal experience I don’t recommend lemon-lime gatorade on corn flakes. Surprisingly disgusting.
I can vouch for the yumminess of that combo. You get the mix of salty and sweet, also the mix of hot and cold. If you like reese’s pb cups or hot fudge on ice cream you might see the appeal.
And if you get a reese’s blizzard topped with hot fudge and a side of fries, you’ve got somethign close to a perfect dessert!
For more Fun With Bananas, please look up “Candle Salad” on Wikipedia for the ULTIMATE banana and mayo combination. :eek: This one has a cherry, too.
