Inherited food quirks

Beans and eggs for breakfast - Campbell’s pork & beans with ketchup and brown sugar added, maybe a squeeze of yellow mustard, and eggs any way you want, plus toast and bacon or sausage. I don’t know anyone outside of my family that does this. I’m sure other people must, but I’ve never met them. I do know in the south beans are on the breakfast menu.

One my daughter got from me: I hate raw onions, so she’d never seen a tuna sandwich with onion. The first time she saw one she couldn’t image who would put onions in tuna :smiley: (just fyi I add celery or pickle for crunch/flavor)

I didn’t say TOTALLY green. Just sorta green. No bitter nasty taste. You might need a knife to get 'em apart though.

I like the semi-sour taste they have. Just a little bit, with plenty of banana-y sweetness as well.

Mmmmm, buttered toast and hot chocolate. I prefer to use sourdough.

My family butters corn on the cob by rolling it on the stick, too. (My mom’s parents, who must have bread at every meal, butter a slice of bread and roll the corn on that.)

I’ve never heard of buttered toast and hot chocolate, but my grandma taught me to dunk hot buttered toast into black coffee. Something about that particular combination is awesome–I think the butter waterproofs one side of the toast, so it still comes out crisp on one side, and the salty, buttery, toasty, bitter flavor just brings me back to my childhood.

In China, they sugar tomato slices. Surprisingly tasty, although I still like savory more :slight_smile:

Fried toast is awesome for using up the grease from the bacon or whatever you cooked in the pan just before. Nom.

Salt on grapefruit, cantaloupe, and watermelon.

BURNT TOAST! CARBONIZED !!! Directly from my mom. Restaurants truly do not understand me when I ask for the toast to be well-done.
