Again; Thanks Yookeroo Nice site. What’s with you guys and Wilhelmina peppermint? I’m sending it to English friends who like it too. I think it’s pretty hard.
To you, PookahMacPhellimey and manx: If you’d like me to send some licorice, peppermint or apple-sirop; just holler. I’d be happy to. 
*the french fries and chocolate or ice-cream had me grossed out. brrrrrrr. Mayonaise for me, on them.

[that should read: To you, Yookeroo, PookahMacPhellimey and manx…]
Oh, man…I was just thinking of this last night! One of my favorite combinations is beans on cornbread with…pickle relish. Sounds gross, but it is quite tasty.
I also put red pepper flakes in my peanut brittle.
I eat a lot of weird food mixtures that cause Mrs. hrhomer to look at me cockeyed. One of my favorites is a ramen noodle stew-type deal :
2 packs ramen, any flavor, cooked and drained BEFORE adding flavor packet
one can tuna, including juice
a medium-large spoonful of peanut butter
a small handful of cheddar cheese
a couple dozen crushed saltines
Mix it all together thoroughly - it’s not bad!
hrh
i like:
about 1 cup of cottage cheese with a tiny quarter packett sprinkle of splenda, about an 8th tsp paprika, hungarian sweet from penzeys.com
campbells chicken noodle soup with cinamon raisin bagel chips
rye toast spread with sweet butter and paper thin slices of red onion and a smear of a1 sauce or vegemite [and i am american, not brit or colonial…go figure]
tofu or baked potato with a1 sauce
my german BF thinks my liking for sweet mustard on leberkaese is disgusting…it only goes on weisswurst according to him=)
The only way to eat oatmeal:
Make oatmeal (preferably plain, but after reading what the rest of you freaks like to eat, I say go for the variety packs).
Take two large pickles and slice them into the oatmeal.
Eat.
The pickles add some flavor as well as being cool enough to bring down the temperature of the oatmeal to tolerable levels. Mmm mmm b*tch (to quote Chappelle)!
Also, Gobear, you show yourself to be possessed of a distinguished palate. I second the kimchi and everything. Including oatmeal. With pickles.
Oh, and I almost forgot: cornbread smothered in pork chop gravy and sorghum is the food of the gods.
I like to put cottage cheese, large curd is best, on my hamburgers.
On the subject of cocoa powder, I’ve used it (and maraschino cherries w/juice) in barbecue.
Ah yes, Mexican brownies. At least that’s what Jeff Smith (the Frugal Gourmet) called 'em.
I got the taste for Dutch food from my dad who is originally from Rotterdam.
Thanks for the offer, but we’ve found a couple of places that carry these Dutch treats.
Peanut butter spread on apple slices (MacIntosh apples are okay but Granny Smith are the best!)
Another vote for grilled cheese sandwiches with dill pickle slices
Breakfast sausages with syrup
Aged/Sharp cheddar cheese with graham wafers
Ohhhhhhhhhhh - i’m getting hungry now!
Yookeroo, for your dad:** Feyenoord !**
arrgh. I hate saying that
Thea Logica, I am totally with you with the chili and chocolate. It works on chocolate ice cream too. You aren’t from a Mexican border state are you? I also put chilli powder on mangos.
Then again I like Chamoy, saltidos,, Lucas, and others that my friends around here think are foul. The one friend I got to try chamoy threw up after he tasted it. It was so funny. 
I like this thread! I remembered that I also like to sprinkle salt on Granny Smith apples before each bite. Something about the tart and sweet and salty is very appealing. Aside from my mom, I don’t know anyone else who has done it, and I haven’t been able to convince anyone to try it, ever. Do you guys think that’s gross?
IIRC, the Fruge uses green chilis in the brownies, which I thought just didn’t seem right, so I tried red chilis instead.
I actually learned how to cook by watching the Frugal Gourmet. Never tried any of his recipies, but I did get a pretty good handle on what ingredients and seasonings go well together, how long you should cook stuff, that kind of thing.
The Fruge rocked. Too bad about the sexual abuse allegations. I never really believed them.
*dorkusmalorkusmafie, I’m from Northern Indiana, but have always been considered a bit strange.
fishbicycle, I’ll see your Granny Smith apples and raise you a grapefruit. Actually, salt and grapefruit has an almost sweet taste to it. I’ve also sprinkled just a bit of salt in orange juice on a hot day when dehydration and electrolyte imbalance could become an issue.
That’s his team.
Hup Holland!
I better get back on topic. Hmmmm…my roommate makes a dip out of cottage cheese & avocados. It’s really quite good.
As soon as I started reading this thread, I realized that I had a bag of them in the cupboard. Which is a rare thing indeed, because I can never seem to resist eating them right away. They are the perfect food, the wonder of culinary wonders, the pinnacle of human achievement in taste…
garlic pistachios.
You have no idea how good.
Also, I’ve been experimenting with malt lately. Chocolate malts are good, but you know what rocks?
Butterscotch malt.
Oh, and even better, though somewhat seasonal…
Eggnog malt.
And now the garlic pistachios are gone. Sigh.
Yeah, chips (fries) and mayo, how could I forget! I guess it’s so normal to a Dutch person that I never think that anyone mind find that a bad combination, but going from Pulp Fiction not everyone likes it. Then of course, there’s the chips “special” or “war”, which is curry sauce, mayo and raw onions. Perfect post-pub food. Mmmmm. Drool.
Thanks for the offer, by the way, my mum is very good for keeping me in supply of these items, though the main thing she always has to bring is Dutch coffee.
Oh and…
VVV
Haven’t seen any of their matches in years, but just making a point, okay.
In his younger (and fatter days) my brother eat Mars bars with his Guinness.
I don’t like either of those two things, but the notion of that combination always made me heave.
Says the woman who eats sardines and picallili, mixed together and spread on digestive biscuits.
I realise that picallili and digestives many not be familiar foodstuffs to some people on here: but that’s a good thing!
The fewer people who eat them, the more there’ll be for me!
My son had a brief obsession with peanut butter and baloney sammiches. I nearly puked.
