Do you go for any off-beat food combinations? For example: Ketchup sandwiches, maple syrup and cottage cheese or baked beans mixed with sour cream?

Gosh, I hope I’m not the only one!

Peanut-butter, ham, cheese and mustard sandwiches…

Why? I was a teenager at the time, that’s why…

I do like peanut butter and pickles now and then, but that’s almost common these days.

Banannas and sundried tomatoes. Particularily with a little bit of feta cheese and some good walnuts.

PB&J with black olive pesto. The extra saltiness of the pesto is good with the peanut butter and counteracted by the sweetness of the jelly. I sometimes substitute honey for the jelly.

Ahhh, memories.

My Oma used to bake homemade kipfel (crescent rolls) and I ate 'em with Doritos (Nacho Cheese)…

GOSH…miss those kipfels!!! ☹

When I was a kid, one of my favorite combinations was “mayo sandwiches and chocolate milk.”

Yep, two pieces of bread with a thick layer of mayo between them, cut in two, and then each half soaked in the chocolate milk.

(Words no one will ever hear me say, “That’s too much mayo.”

For breakfast, try a sandwich made of two slices of toast, with butter, Marmite, peanutbutter and strawberry/rasberry jam in between. Lovely.

My favorite meal (and would be my last if ever on death row) is:

-tuna salad, with lots of mayo and little bits of crunchy celery  
-apple sauce  
-cottage cheese

All on the same plate. Making sure to get a bit of each on the spoon for every bite.

I’m more of an experimental type when it comes to snack foods. My favorites are M&Ms mixed with Popcorn, or any type of potato chip for the most part (Fritos are the best).

Occasionally I have to have some nacho cheese Doritos and chocolate ice cream. And yes, I’ve been known to scoop the ice cream up with the Doritos.

Peanut butter and tuna on a tortilla.

Peanut butter on a plain cheese slice of pizza.

Yes, I’m fat, why do you ask?

I just bought cheddar and sour cream chips and intend to follow them with coffee cakes.

Seems almost tame, dunnit?
