Funny you should mention that. 'Cause just last night I made myself a salad with raseberry walnut vinagrette, and when I got to the end of the salad there was quite a bit left, so I drank it. Nobody found it weird because I was alone at the time, but…I’d do it again!!!
My SO claims to enjoy dry uncooked pasta with marmite but I’ve never seen him actually do it. According to him the strangest thing I eat is peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches.
Cold pizza for breakfast
Veggie burgers
Veggie “chicken” stuff
Veggie sausage
Veggie bacon
Veggie baloney (I’m a vegetarian, so anything of this ilk gets me strange looks)
Stale cheese doodles (I leave the bag open over night)
Dehydrated mushrooms (easy to make and delicious)
Dehydrated pineapple bits
those snap pea crisp things I get in the food market
Mangos
hmmm, come to think of it, this list could be really long for me… I’ve always been more of a trendsetter than a follower
I like to crumble corn bread up in a glass, top it off with cold milk and eat it with a spoon. I learned this from my Dad – back when he was little his family used to eat this for supper sometimes – when there wasn’t much around to make a meal of, or they were in a particular hurry to get a meal on the table. Sort of Okie fast food. They always called it ‘short supper’ for some reason. By the time I came along, we didn’t have this as a meal on it’s own anymore, but we often had pinto beans and corn bread for dinner and my dad always fixed a glass of corn bread and milk as a sort of dessert after that meal. And my siblings and I would always follow suit – not my mom, though. She thinks (as does my husband) that ‘short supper’ is gross. I love it though – especially when the cornbread is still warm and the milk real cold – the cold and the warm sort of swirls together in the glass and in my mouth in a way that’s indefinably delicious.
Mayonaise on french fries. I learned it from my German grandmother. It’s apparently quite common in Europe, especially Belgium, but here in the U.S. I get strange looks. I’ve only ever managed to persuade one person to try it. He liked it.
I drink a kind of green tea called pinhead gunpowder. The leaves are all rolled up into little balls and fan out after they soak a little bit. Then my mug is full of dark green leaves, which I strain the tea from by keeping my upper teeth on the rim of the mug. A Chinese I used to work with turned me on to this years ago, and I still do it. It’s great.
Another thing I do is I chop up cloves of garlic and soak them overnight in olive oil. Then I smear it on bread or toast. It’s wonderful. If you’re worried that making a habit of this could kill your love life, just do what I do: date an Italian.
That’s actually how I got the idea. I realized that I liked the cheese in the salad a lot more than the salad itself. If I wasted stomach real estate on low cal stuff like veggies, I’d waste away.
That’s what I said. I guess some people aren’t used to seeing a sandwich that is just bread and cream cheese. I guess folks, like my girlfriend, use it as a topping like on bagels or toast.
I spread that cream cheese about 1/2 inch thick. It grosses her out.
Though, I must wonder what kind of people y’all hang around with, as more than half of the food mentioned here isn’t weird at all. I mean, chicken dipped in ranch is weird? Americans put ranch on practically everything. (I hate ranch). Ethiopian weird? Time to get some more cultured friends.
I like to crumble potato chips up in a bowl, pour on some ketchup, then mix it up and eat it with a spoon.
It’s also a GREAT way to deal with the crumbs at the end of the bag. Same with corn chips and salsa.
