I’ve discovered that I really like the taste of peanut butter with pickles and/or hot peppers. In fact, my favorite combo I recently discovered is peanut butter with habanero pickles. Cutting something fatty with something sour is one of my favorite flavor combos, so that’s why it works for me, I think.
That’s no too out there. I love spicy peanut currys.
It wasn’t the hot pepper so much that I thought was weird, but the pickles. Then again, maybe peanut butter and pickles is a thing. Apparently peanut butter and mayo, is, so why not?
I must have learned this from my dad back before microwaves were invented, so it was the oven then, but the microwave does fine now–20 or 30 seconds, just enough to get the doughnut hot enough to melt the butter, which is simply applied to the top with a knife and allowed to run down the sides, mixing with the now melty glaze. Insert Homer Simpson drool noise here.
I love stale snack foods. Chips, crackers (especially Cheez-Its), Cheetos, popcorn, the staler the better. I like the chewy texture and I feel that the en-stale-ening intensifies the flavor.
Carrots dipped in ketchup are my one odd food combo. The mix of vinegar/salt/sweet is just perfect. In fact, there’s some baby carrots in the fridge that need eating. Lunchtime!
Well, there’s one thing that does. Cut the doughnut in half, butter, and fry until the glaze and butter carmelize. It will be a bit crispy around the edges.
Or at least, that’s how I remember doing it when everyone in the house was training for a half marathon and we could get away with eating absolute crap and still feel fantastic.
i hate ketchup for any purpose besides french fries and omelets.
I saw an episode of Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood where he wrapped a slice of american cheese around a banana and ate it. I will still do it to at least one in every bunch I buy.
I like my cheese curls (and puff and other like things) stale. I open the bag and let them go stale before eating them.
Try a paper thin slice of a good cured ham [I tend to get the prosciutto from the sub base grocery, I think it is BoarsHead?] a paper thin slice of manchego cheese, and a thin slice of dulche de membrillo/quince paste on your toast, or I like it on a toasted english muffin with butter as a rare treat.
It is more or less tartar sauce.
I love cold wonton soup.
My mother loves cold corn on the cob out of the refrigerator.
My weird thing is stirring uncooked rolled oats into vanilla yogurt. But everybody I introduce this to loves it. It’s even better with some cinnamon and raisins added.
I have also taken to drinking a slug of straight balsamic vinegar. Tastes pretty good to me, and I have heard it is good for the arteries. Burns the throat a bit, though.
If śledzie is pickled herring, then LOTS of people like it.
This is not so unusual but every so often I’ll slice open a baguette and mash up a Mars bar inside.
A British girl I met once told me that when she and her siblings were kids, their mother had to go into hospital overnight and that’s what her father fixed for supper.
It’s called sandwich spread, and yes, they still make it. Or at least Hellman’s does: http://www.hellmanns.com/product/detail/97903/sandwich-spread .
I like pizza hot, warm, room temp, and straight out of the fridge. Not many ways I won’t eat pizza!
I like to put Cheddar cheese in hotdog buns. We call this type of cheese sandwich a “cheese-boat.”
My friends think it’s weird.
I know of several hotdog joints in the Southeast US that refer to these as cheese dogs. They’re often smothered with hotdog chili and served hot.
