Ethnic Food Abuse, Part 2

Cafe Society
1

I’ve been shocking some friends lately, by telling them about an easy ‘emergency’ food of mine that I’ve been eating recently.

Basically, if I’ve got nothing else in the apartment, or don’t feel like cooking - I’ll slap some peanut butter and jelly on a flour tortilla, roll it up like a burrito, and eat.

But somehow people I’ve told this to have been giving me looks as though I’ve been making them watch me eat thousand year eggs a la mode.

I’m hoping that there a few other Dopers out there who’ve had this, and enjoyed it. And if not, that some will share other ideas that squick out their friends and neighbors.

Mr. Neville and I love peanut butter on a tortilla.

Astronauts use flour tortillas instead of bread.

So, when I eat peanut butter on a tortilla, I call it a Space Peanut Butter Sandwich.

Yes, I know I am a big geek.

I’m also one of the very few non-Australians who likes Vegemite. I’ve had that on a flour tortilla with cheese, too- I figure I’m the only person in the world who likes that particular combo.

I love doing that. In fact when I was a kid I got a cookbook for kids that had a recipe for breakfast a burrito that was a flour tortilla peanut butter and a bananna all rolled together.

4

I’m a big fan of peanut butter and banana (honey optional). We had these often on a long car camping trip I went on when I was about 12.

Why is peanut butter and jelly ‘ethnic food’?

5

I’ve been know to put peanut butter (sans jelly) on just about anything, ethnic or otherwise. It’s especially good with salty meats, like hot dogs or salami or ribs.

I’ve even put peanut butter on . . . :eek: . . . well, that’s for another thread.

6

I believe the tortilla is the ethnic contingent of that recipe…

7

My father used to eat peanut butter and hot pepper sandwiches. And peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. shudder

8

Did he put it on his penis, too? Because that is how I read his post. I can’t be the only one…

9

double shudder

I probably should have quoted the first sentence of panache45’s post, huh?

I made myself a ham and cheddar quesadilla just yesterday (mustard sauce on the side). My husband thinks I’m nuts. I think it needs Tabasco in the mustard sauce next time! :smiley:

11

Yeah, it’s the tortilla that seems to bother the people I’ve been talking to.

12

Grits with ketchup. Grits with jelly. Grits with syrup. Grits with brown sugar. Grits with molasses.

Oh, and on the other end of the “abuse” spectrum – wholly decadent – ladies and gentlemen I give you Atlamta’s own Ghetto Burger.

<<raises hand>>

I like that too! I’ve done it with vegemite and cheese, also marmite and cheese. Tortillas and yeast extract, yum!

14

We couldn’t get crappy old white bread in Mali, but we could get fresh French bread. I used to make PB and mayo sandwiches with it. My wife gagged. And I’ve definitely done PBJ on torts.

15

I’ve done the PB&J tortila thing. I also like cream cheese and tapenade on a toritlla.

I also like to flavor my popcorn with chili powder and little lime juice.

One of my mother’s friends from down the street used to eat peanut butter and Spanish onion sandwiches.

Were they any good? Beats the heck out of me. I don’t know anyone brave enough to find out!

17

Last week I was in need of comfort food. The result?

Quinoa with marmite.

American is an ethnicity, English is a language, and caucasian is a race.

Fish don’t see water very well, either. :wink:

19

I’ve done that. I’ve made all sorts of tortilla ‘sandwiches.’
When I was doing the Atkins diet, I used tortillas instead of bread for sandwiches and they were delicious.

Just telll your silly friends that well made tortillas are the bread of all that is holy. Thus you should be eating them regularly, with all sorts of yummy things. Like peanut butter! And jelly! And chicken! (Though possibly not all three at the same time.)
