> [@Morbo](#): > > I used to freak everyone out by dipping pretzels in mustard. Now I see everyone doing it, especially with those big soft ones you get at sporting events. I don’t like mustard on hard pretzels but like it on soft ones. I discovered this on accident. I was at a ball game and my pretzel fell into the mustard that was on my hog dog (yes, it was a Reese’s ad come to life!). ---

Kraft Dinner with ketchup. OK, maybe not that weird. But I eat it with ketchup _and_ mustard! ---

Goulash a la mom: Elbow macaroni, ground beef, condensed tomato soup. What’s this crap from Hungary? ---

I like my bacon soft and chewy, not crunchy. I like limp french fries too. ---

## This thread reminds me of grandma’s Yamasketti. . Ground beef, browned Can of mushroom soup Can of tomato soup Velveeta Put it all together and mix it into egg noodles. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 min. . . The result is amazingly delicious comfort food–the kind your grandma made for a quick supper. . . I need to make this soon. Its been way too long. ---

Cheddar cheese instead of American cheese in just about anything, including grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers. ---

I can’t eat hash browns without A-1 sauce. I’m not sure how unusual that is, though. My contribution is more about **Sr. Olives** : because he’s the world’s laziest human being when it comes to food preparation, he eats bell peppers whole, like you would an apple. It drives me nuts. ---

> [@markdash](#): > > Cheddar cheese instead of American cheese in just about anything, including grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers. Oh, hell yes. I often read people saying that cheddar cheese makes lousy grilled cheese sandwiches compared to American, and I figure they’re doing it wrong: nothing’s better than sharp cheddar with herbs and garlic salt grilled on heavily-buttered whole-wheat toast and washed down with a beer. ---

> [@Lubricious\_Integument](#): > > Goulash a la mom: > > Elbow macaroni, ground beef, condensed tomato soup. > > What’s this crap from Hungary? Heh, my grandfather, who was from Hungary, “invented” this dish whenever he was the one who had to make dinner for my mother (and my mother used to make it for me). It was called Macaroni a la Shelli: Elbow macaroni, hot dogs, tinned mushrooms and tomato sauce baked in the oven in a casserole dish. ---

Another person who over-gingers and over-wasabis each individual piece of sushi. I also don’t like to dip it into soy very much anymore, so just the lightest dab will do. It’s all about a wasabi sandwiched in between the maki and ginger. ---

My mother’s contribution to the Cream of Mushroom soup genre: Fry diced onions mixed with (in my case, fake) ground beef and tinned mushrooms. Add the soup, heat thoroughly, season with salt and lots of black pepper, and serve the resulting mess on top of buttered, boiled potatoes. Love. > [@Smapti](#): > > …I stir yellow mustard into my baked beans. I got this habit from my father, and i’ve never heard of anyone else who does it… My husband and I both do that, and, what’s more, we both did it before we ever met. We may also add other things (molasses, Heinz spicy ketchup, bbq sauce, etc.) but we always add mustard. It just perks up the flavour perfectly.
