Tell me about the food/dish you love, that no living soul should ever know or see you eat. I’ll start, I suppose. After a particularly shitty day… On a toasted flat bread/pita, layer in order of appearance: Generous smear of mayo Freshly ground black pepper Cold cuts (preferably black forest ham), microwaved till slightly curled around edges American cheese Sliced tomatoes More ground black pepper A three egg plain omlette Sliced dill pickles Romaine lettuce Time and assemble while hot things are still hot. Cut in half. Roll up sleeves. Grab 4 paper towels. Devour over large tray in front of TV and chase down with a coke. ---

I once put Velveeta on a very, very cheap cardboard-quality frozen pizza. It was about as good as it sounds. ---

I like sardines mashed with plain yellow mustard on saltines. Although I learned this from my mother, I try not to subject anyone else to the sight (an smell) of me eating it. ---

cheese on banana bread. I prefer sliced American but mild cheddar works as well. I learned this from my mother who enjoys the occasional strawberry jam and cheddar sandwich. (I don’t eat that.) ---

If you ever watch _Bizarre Foods_, you’ll be reassured that whatever you are eating, it can’t possibly be as gross as you think it is. I’m a pretty adventurous eater…I’ve had raw everything, foie gras, sweetbreads, pickled deer’s heart, etc but man, some of the stuff that Andrew Zimmern eats, especially the rotten food…blech, no thanks! ---

Oh, it’s not a competition. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I’m not going to out-gross anyone, especially not an professional human garburator like Andrew Zimmern. ---

My daughter eats peanut butter on a hot dog. I still love her, though. ---

My wife thought it was weird that I occasionally eat peanut butter and bologna sandwiches. Until she tried one. ---

PB, Miracle Whip, Banana and American cheese sandwiches… I used to eat those all the time. ---

(Bolding mine) Wait a minute . . . Now I’m confused. 😃 When I’m in the right mood (read: starving), peanut butter on a spoon is a good quick fix. But when I mentioned it to a friend, she started laughing because she thought I was joking - it seemed the same as eating butter or mayonnaise on a spoon to her. Also, a favorite carrot dip of mine is mayo mixed with ketchup - my mom calls it “Russian sauce” but everyone else thinks I’m insane. Oh, and I know people who swear by ketchup on pizza. It’s not so much that it’s disgusting, just a bit weird (another person will carefully scrape off all the cheese on pizza - she’s not allergic, and likes cheese, but not on pizza). ---

> [@Octarine](#): > > Also, a favorite carrot dip of mine is mayo mixed with ketchup - my mom calls it “Russian sauce” but everyone else thinks I’m insane. Mayo+ketchup? Yup. Used to make that a lot as a kid. PB on a spoon? Yup. PB is not a condiment like mayo. It’s more akin to eating a piece of cheese. ---

PB on a spoon followed by a secondary (double) dip in the nutella. This contaminates both jars but I paid for them nd it doesn’t bother me. Also… potato chips dipped directly in the Hellman’s jar, or the blue cheese dressing. It’s called the munchies 😃 ---

Hey I don’t think you’re insane either, regarding the mayonnaise and ketchup. We used to make it all the time when I was growing up; it’s similar to French dressing. Plus I eat mayo and ketchup on hamburgers all the time. When I was in my 20s I used to mash butter and flour and sugar together to create a makeshift cookie dough when I was craving that and couldn’t be bothered to make actual cookies. Mmmm.
