Three things I like to eat that seem to be unique to me:
[ul]
[li]applesauce on mashed potatoes[/li][li]strawberry jam and sweet bologna on toast[/li][li]ham salad and Cool Ranch Doritos sandwich[/li][/ul]
I do recall “inventing” that last one some time in middle school, but the others existed earlier in my life and none of my family can recollect how they came about.
On a side note, I also used to think that I was the only one who understood the term “bunny milk”, which my grandmother coined when serving milk flavored with Nestle’s Strawberry Quik powder (the one with the bunny mascot). I recently met another person who came by the term in a similar manner.
Ya know what’s funny? I know a lot of people who do the applesauce/mashed potatoes thing (yuck, by the way!).
For me, the ones that make other people raise an eyebrow are:
[ul]
[li]dill pickles dipped in cheese sauce[/li][li]ranch dip on pizza[/li][li]hot wings sauce on cheese pizza[/li][/ul]
I bring this up every time a thread like this appears:
Oatmeal made with Maggi veggie cubes. To the boiling water, add onions, mushrooms, garlic and curry powder. During the last minute or so of cooking the oats, add a TBSP of Parmesan. I’ve also been known to forego the added veggies and throw in a veggie burger instead.
I’ll add olive juice and anchovies to my Bloody Mary.
Omelettes filled with grape jelly or strawberry jam.
My father made those for me when I was a kid. The only way to get them now is to make my own omelettes; I’ve never seen a restaurant offer sweet omelette fillings.
I thought peanut butter on pretzels was weird when I first encountered it in my teens. Now you can buy pretzels prefilled with PB.
