Well, I like dipping pizza and fries into nacho cheese. I love sugar…I will eat all those little coffee-sugar packets they have in restaurants (For some reason people think that’s gross). And I like anchovies. I don’t know why people think anchovies are gross. They taste like fish. ---

Especially those left over crunchies that you can get with it…adds taste to the cole slaw. I also love Peanut Butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches…grew up with them. My wife and kids think I’m crazy for that, but what do they know, and who cares!!! Fried Baloney sandwiches, and Mac and Cheese with mustard on it. ---

If you’ve ever read about the Titanic taking on supplies you will run across the fact that the cooks stocked a lot of cornmeal for that voyage.

OK, I have the reputation in my family for being the one to try different foods. (They’re such wimps… I always figure whens the next time I’ll have a chance to eat this, they figure, “ew”. hehehe) So, I have to know… how can I make me some of this stuff, or where can I go get some? I must try the real stuff… Incidentally, nothing here that I eat regularly that makes people cringe in horror.

I like circus peanuts too! Also, pizza topped with blue cheese dressing (how’s that for fattening?). When I was a kid I liked eggs with ketchup, but it’s been so long that I’m too scared to see if I still do. My girlfriend likes scrambled eggs mixed with grape jelly, which I find particularly nasty. ---

Just hang in there. I’m gonna get you a recipe. I’m gonna visit the folks for the Fourth (well, they just live 5 minutes away), and I’m gonna ask Mom for a real Tennessee cornbread recipe. After you taste it, you’ll never look back. Trust me. You can survive till then. Just hang in there. I’m here to help you through it. _(OK, we need a real cornbread recipe here, STAT!

Yep, fish heads are eaten. I had dinner with a student when I was first here. His kids fought over who got the fish eyes. ---

I’ll eat sheets of dried seaweed as a snack. The kind that are supposed to be made into the wrappers of sushi. I think its called sushinori or somthing. ::Voice droppes down to a wisper:: And sometimes, I’ll even eat a little pinch of…fish food. Yeah, its discusting, I know, but it tastes like really good seaweed. ::Voice raises again:: Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? ---

Well, this sounds tame compared to the other things people have posted, but I always get an “eww” or other weird look when I eat … Peanut butter and cheese sandwiches. The people I’ve actually convinced to try it all say “wow, that’s good!” You should experiment with the proportions of cheese and PB until you get the combination that is pleasing to you. I came up with this while eating PB crackers one day (the kind that come pre-packaged), and sliced myself some cheese…and took a bite of both together…hmm…there’s an idea…and thus a favorite meal was born.
