I have a bunch, one I just mentioned in another thread: fresh, \*\* warm chocolate cake with melted butter on it instead of frosting. \*\* YUM. \*\* Shredded wheat with cold butter. \*\* (Butter is a theme throughout my food preferences. Hence my hips.) Also \*\* chocolate mint ice cream / Canada Dry Collins mixer float. \*\* (similar to but better than Squirt) You guys? ---

Oh! I should have posted here, rather in the other thread… Butter as a steak sauce. (I think this was in the Bible somewhere. Old Testament?) -Rue. ---

Here’s a great summer recipe, that only my family will eat. Anyway, mix tuna fish (packed in water, drained), sliced banana, chunk pineapple, and Miracle Whip. Chill. Eat. It’s excellent. But people who are not related to me (not even my husband) will not even look at it. I’ve never understood that. 😕 ---

I like to put ketchup on everything. Especially my eggs. Yummy. Oh I like it on ice cream too, but I don’t tell anyone about that becuase they would think it was WAY too wierd. I remember seeing a TV show when I was little when someone was so preoccupied that they accidentally put ketchup on their ice cream istead of chocolate syrup, and all I could think was, “Whats so gross about that?” I was a strange little child.😃 ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Stoid \* > \*\* Shredded wheat with cold butter._\* I like to take a large shredded wheat biscuit, open it up like a bun, lay on some cheese, nuke it til the cheese melts, and eat it like a sandwich. Everyone who has seen me do this says it’s gross. ---

When I go to Wendy’s, I like to dip my fries in a frosty (that’s basically a chocolate milkshake, for those of you who don’t have Wendy’s). I also think that dill pickles and sauerkraut go exceptionally well together. But I actually have a very strong tolerance for bizarre flavor combinations, so these are pretty tame compared to what else I’ve done. I may try **Persephone** ’s recipe sometime. ---

I eat pancakes with a little sour cream(or melted butter) and thin slices of smoked fish(salmon is best if you can afford it) I like it, it’s the way my Russian cookbooks say it’s done in their country. But here in the US I get told I’m weird. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arden Ranger \* > \*\*Using soft serve vanilla ice cream as a dip for my BBQ Ruffles. \*\* Soft serve vanilla ice cream is quite possibly the world’s most perfect food. Have you ever tried mixing it with your favorite cereal? Mmmmmmmm, soft vanilla ice cream and corn flakes. I also like to dip potato chips in peanut butter. ---

Delphica, you remind me of another… I like cereal with half-and-half. I really do have an unhealthy affection for extremely high fat foods. I select meat cuts based on how much fat they have on them - the more the better. Crisp Fried bacon dipped in mustard. Fried chicken skin. Just the skin. Like a snack. Chocolate chip cookies with no chocolate chips, not enough flour and more butter… result is fondly known as “goo cookies” It’s a bad thing. (hangs head in shame) ---

I’m special in that I am hard-pressed to find a combination of foods that I don’t like (as long as I like each component seperately). My favorite flavours are chocolate, balsamic vinegar and garlic. I’m still trying to wrok out a perfect way to combine’m. Usually I just deal with olive oil and vinegar on bread and chocolate in alternating bites. Any ideas? ---

Sweet corn bread with buttermilk and salt and pepper. Yummmmm. I like vanilla ice cream as a dip for fritos. Tarter sauce as a dip for my fries. Banana sandwiches with mayo on white bread with salt and pepper. These are foods fit for a king no matter what hubby says.
