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. Bacon Salt is delicious on Cantaloupe. I love potato chips dipped in cottage cheese. Fave Baked Potato toppings: Salsa Tuna and cheese I could go on… ---

My whole family loves: Crushing saltines on Ice Cream. Dipping Peanut Butter sandwiches in Chili! We used to dip frito’s in Hershey’s syrup too. Hmmm I think we all have a problem with Salty/Sweet in my family. No wonder half of us are II Diabetic. **I love Ranch Dip on Pizza** ---

Apply peanut butter onto a (insert your flavour) Dorito, and drizzle a few drops of maple syrup over it. YUM!!! ---

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. ---

Peanut Butter and Ketchup sandwiches. I thought this up myself when I was a kid. Don’t know why but I liked it and still eat one occasionally. ---

I like to put slices of American cheese on my chicken and broccoli over rice (Chinese food). Then put tons of hot sauce over it. ---

I get weird looks when I mention the following: Grilled peanut butter and Spam TM sandwiches (best after a night out drinking). Apple sauce and cottage cheese Peanut butter and kosher dill sandwiches Sausage and grape jelly on a biscuit There are probably more that would rate an “ewww” from other folks, but I can’t think of them now.
