What strange food combos do you like that would be too weird to most? For starters, how about Apple Jacks and Lemon-Lime punch, when low on milk? - Jinx ---

I have often shocked onlookers by scooping dry hot chocolate mix onto vanilla ice cream. Is that perverse or what?! :eek: ---

My brother likes to pour B-B-Q sauce into a carton of cottege cheese, stir and eat. ---

Well I don’t eat this but my mom loves peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. ---

French fries dipped in butterscotch pudding. Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. Hamburgers with taco sauce and ranch dressing. Hot dogs topped with salsa. 3/4s Diet Coke mixed with 1/4 milk. Cheetos dipped in chocolate milk. Sauerkraut (as in JUST sauerkraut, by itself in a bowl. I get get disgusted looks from everyone with this one!). ---

I once had a secretary who swore by Frosted Flakes seeped in black coffee, and topped with melted American cheese. Her standard cup o’ joe was sweetened with 27 (counted precisely) sugar packets. ---

I don’t really have any myself but will offer the following: 1. I used to work in a deli/bagel place and a woman ordered a lox sandwich on a chocolate chip bagel (for those of you who are screaming that there is no such thing as a chocolate chip bagel - I fully agree, but in my defense I was young and desperate for the money). 2. My best friend swears by Cheese Whiz on Oreos. ---

I like sausage and marmalade sandwiches; the sausages must be good and meaty and the marmalade dark and bitter. I hastily tried bacon and strawberry sandwiches once after eating them in a dream, but was disappointed, I might try again sometime with better ingredients. ---

Ketchup on potato chips. Maybe that’s not so weird but people look at me funny when I do it. p@cific@812 that sounds great to me. My husband always puts malted milk powder on any kind of ice cream. ---

I’ll probably get lambasted here, but I never understood ketchup/catsup on scrambled eggs. Yuck! ---

Well, no one seems to have ever heard of one of the staples in my house growing up: the German dish Himmel und Erte (I’m spelling that last phoenetically, based on what my dad called it). The name means Heaven and Earth, and it’s a pile of mashed potatoes, with a scoop in the middle of them to fill with bacon and onions that were fried together. Surround those things with a ring of apple sauce. Scoop all three together in each bite. YUM! I’m also big on French fries dipped in chocolate milkshakes; fried egg, bacon and strawberry jam sandwiches; smoked Gouda and Granny Smith apple sandwiches; and maple syrup on sausage. Pretty much any salty/sweet combo is pure bliss. ---

I once ordered cheesecake in a New York café and after it didn’t come for half an hour moved on to order a beer. Well of course both came at the same time, and it wasn’t bad at all. Lots of calories but highly recommendable. ---

Reminds me - I tried Lavern’s (from Lavern & Shirley) milk & Pepsi combo one night after discussing it with a friend. I had commented on how I always wondered what it tasted like, and just happened to have the ingredients right then and there. I have to admit, it was quite tasty! I always mix Picante Chicken Ramen Noodles with potato soup, then add lots of Tabasco. Yumm! ---

> [@](#): > > Sweet mother of god, I knew a guy who ate these. Nauseating! 😃 That is what _everyone_ I’ve ever said the combination to has reacted with! But NONE of them are willing to try it! Have you _tried_ it ever? [no nonsense mommy]Because if you haven’t, then you very well can’t know if it’s nauseating or not, can you? [/no nonsense mommy] 🙂 [sub]of course, if you HAVE tried it before and it’s nauseating, then I say ‘to each his own’ 🙂 [/sub] ---

When I was about eight years old, my favorite food was peanut butter, jelly, and lettuce sandwiches. The lettuce made it nice and crunchy… I’m still known to sip shot glasses of balsamic vinegar straight on occasion. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by zweisamkeit \* > \*\*French fries dipped in butterscotch pudding. > \*\* I gotta agree with this, although my version is to get McDonald’s fries and dip them into McDonald’s caramel sundaes… mmmm… Another past indulgence (in my Uni days) was to eat Nutella (a hazelnut spread) off a spoon. I can’t fathom how people can eat it just spread on bread. ---

Cottage cheese or mashed potatoes, and baked beans, cold. Cottage cheese with hot chili on top. Mashed potatoes with peas on top. Oatmeal with tumeric. Yummy. I also put tumeric on peanut butter toast. McDonald’s chicken nuggets with yellow mustard (I carry it in my car for trips to McDee’s) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/strange-food-combos/118640.md?page=2)
