Drain the kraut and cook in a skillet until it dries and browns, then throw in a couple of eggs and mix it all together. This is just as delicious with drained and rinsed kimchi browned in place of sauerkraut. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > Pizza with chocolate chip cookies. Not on top of the pizza but a bite of pizza, a bite of cookie. Good stuff! My dad’s favorite weird food combo was cherry cake and pepperoni. A bite of cake, then a slice of pepperoni. We all laughed at him until we tried it. It is good! That was always his birthday dessert. ---

Peanut butter and bacon sandwich. Peanut butter and molasses sandwich. Peanut butter and marmalade paired with Swiss cheese, lettuce, and mayo in a three-decker sandwich. Peanut butter on hamburgers and hotdogs (with grilled onions and Cheez Whiz - Yum!). (There’s a theme here!) Meatballs slow simmered in a pot with half BBQ sauce, half ginger beer. (This is in high demand when I bring something to a potluck meal. When I was working, my name had “meatballs” preprinted beside it on the potluck sign-up sheets.) ---

Pizza (must use a tomato-based sauce) and a glass of either chocolate milk or a chocolate milk shake. I’ve loved this since grade school. Cinnamon-sugar soft pretzels dipped in yellow mustard. Spaghetti with meat sauce and untoasted italian bread with butter and grape jelly. I think I really must like sweet and salty combinations, but I don’t think that’s too uncommon. ---

> [@peedin](#): > > French fries dipped in mayo. Common across the pond, but people here look at me like I’m weird. I got into this when I lived in Germany back in the 80s, and yeah, I get some odd looks. If anyone gives me an “Ewww”, I ask them if they also hate potato salad. 😃 ---

Dated a gal for a while. She made me her specialty dish, browned hamburger mixed with cream of chicken soup and peas, served over spaghetti. She added a spoonful of dill pickle relish to her’s, I ate mine without. I was pretty decent, haven’t tried to make it myself. ---

Last year while visiting Taormina I had a salad that consisted of slices/hunks of oranges and red onions, with what looked like hot crushed red pepper sprinkled on it. Looked and seemed bizarre but was absolutely delicious. ---
