I second the capers thing. Over the past 3 days, I’ve eaten 3 jars of capers. Basically almost anything most people consider a garnish or condiment, I will eat by the handful (baby corn, anchovies, olives, hot veggie mix, capers, maraschino cherries.) I, too, like my french toast savory. ---

> [@vivalostwages](#): > > Have you tried cottage cheese with Tabasco? I grossed out my friends by eating it in a restaurant. They just have no concept of its goodness. COTTAGE CHEESE with Tabasco?! No way!! I like sausage, bacon, or fried eggs with Tabasco; salsa (especially Paul Newman’s Pineapple Salsa) goes great on scrambled eggs. 🙂 ---

My mother thinks that peanut butter is disgusting, but she eats mayonnaise and grape jelly sandwiches. I can’t even bring myself to try that, because it just sounds so very wrong! I eat and love lots of “normal” foods that others seem to seriously dislike: greens of any type, chicken gizzards, escargot, oxtail, and so forth. However, I personally am grossed out by lots of foods that others think of as “normal” and yummy, like boiled eggs, sweet pickles/relish, pimientos, bell peppers, lobster, etc. ---

Horse. I ate it unwillingly/unknowingly once. It looked like tuna sashimi and was quite sweet but my symbolic associations are just far too strong to eat it again. ---

I have seen my father eat: 1. A bowl of saltine crackers with milk 2. Donuts dipped in gravy 3. Barbecued rattlesnake 4. “Dutch lunch” - which is ham and raw pork shoulder ground together, eaten on crackers ---

I wish I knew that back then. Would have gone in a different career direction… 😃 And obviously, I should have moved to France too. ---

> [@Bosstone](#): > > Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I’m not even allowed to mention them in the house. Good thing I read this far, because my wince-worthy one is White Bread Peanut Butter on one piece Mayonnaise on the other piece Slices of Dill Pickle in the middle The combination is just SO good; I have always had a palatte favoring strong flavors, but when I saw my friend’s mom making that, I thought she had gone round the bend. Then I tried it, and have grossed out every roommate and sweetheart since then with it. 😛 ---

Oh yar, and raw ground beef. Not as a whole meal or anything, but if I’m making hamburgers, I simply MUST pinch off a few bits and munch on them, especially if I’ve seasoned it. Did that once at a friend’s place; they had a few cattle, and the beef was about as fresh as you can get; I imagined it could only be even better! And it was!! Except for the horrified look on my friend’s face, as he explained that the cattle was for personal use and therefore not irradiated or pasteurized or whatever they do to meat to kill off any non-beef organisms. Guess I got lucky. =P ---

> [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > Runny egg yolk disgusts me! Anything but runny yolk is a disappointment to me. I’ve perfected the art of frying eggs for maximum liquid yolk, with no uncooked whites - without spooning loads of hot oil over them: Heat a little oil in the pan (cast iron skillet) until almost smoking hot Add four eggs, fry very briskly until the edges of the white start to turn brown and lacy Have ready a lid that fits the pan (I’ve got one that just catches halfway down the inner sloped edges) Drop a couple of tablespoons of water from a tumbler into the pan, cover immediately with the lid, let it sizzle and spit for about 30 seconds, steam-cooking any runny white parts on the top of the egg. The yolks come out almost entirely liquid this way, with fully cooked whites and a slightly crispy lacy bottom surface (which I also like). Perfect for fried egg sandwiches (they should always be tricky to eat, leaning by necessity over a large plate) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-or-someone-you-know-eat-that-would-make-others-go-eeewwwwwwww/522991.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-or-someone-you-know-eat-that-would-make-others-go-eeewwwwwwww/522991.md?page=7)
