Mr. Woodhouse will eat just about anything you put in front of him without a shudder. I can always get him though by just topping a slice of banana bread with American cheese. He doesn’t even butter his banana bread, the commie.
He on the other hand quite enjoyed his dish of sea anenome pasta he was served at a fancy restaurant last year. That one was just way to weird for me to even try a sample.
I know Golden Eagle as sweetened condensed milk, so that plus butter on a biscuit might be a little much. But butter and maple syrup on a biscuit? Nothing wrong with that.
My mom taught us to make milktoast. Make toast, butter it and lay it on a plate (two slices). Cover with a layer of white sugar and then pour milk from the side. The toast soaks it up from below and the result is a brilliant treat. And on snow days, mom would make hot chocolate from scratch and then give us liberally buttered bread to dip it in. Aaaah…
Bananas amd mayo are food for the gods. Pure Ambrosia. I don’t mash it up with the mayo though.
Peanut butter and tomato biscuits are delicious.
I swear, just reading this made my mouth all watery. That’s the best part!
As for the buttern syrup, it doesn’t seem too strange to me as I love slathering cornbread muffins with syrup. Yum!
OK, so my mouth watering as I wrote it and I didn’t want to admit it. 
My ex-husband used to drink pea juice. The juice drained out of a can of peas. PEA JUICE! :urk:
Note my discussion of this starting with post 14 in this thread.. Sounds like you got salty licorice… which if you like the sweet stuff, is NOT an acceptable substitute. I remember chewing on a piece, getting the licorice flavor followed immediately by a sense of BETRAYAL that yummy-looking candy would do that to me :(. It’s definitely an acquired taste (and one that I haven’t bothered trying to acquire!).
OP: Buttern syrup sounds tasty even if it does look nasty - I certainly love biscuits with both butter and jelly (the moral equivalent of syrup) and I’ve had sopaipillas with honey butter (ditto). If for some reason you decide you prefer to enjoy this treat without the added pleasure of grossing out your wife, mix the two together with an electric mixer until you get a creamy fluffy golden spreadable mass and now I want some and who the hell needs biscuits when there’s pure sugar and fat and a spoon (urp!).
One guy I know has salted crackers with butter, peanut-butter, and urk ketchup!
Now, could someone tell me how on Og’s Green Earth this combination could be appealing?!?
S^G
One guy I know likes to dip his peanut butter sandwiches in tomato soup.
He also has a favourite dessert that his mother likes to make him: Tomato Soup Cake. Evidently it is like carrot cake, only made with tomato soup instead of carrots. Or so I gather, anyway; the name was the most information I cared to gather, and even that much I didn’t want to know.
We always ate french toast as a savoury dish in my family (salt, pepper, soya sauce, BACON SALT* in the egg mixture, etc.), and ate it with ketchup. I don’t gross my husband out with this, though, because he eats no eggs period, so I only eat french toast when he’s not home. The first time I ordered french toast in a restaurant, it surprised the hell out of me - powdered sugar? Syrup? Are you shitting me?
We also dipped fresh tomatoes in white sugar, too. Yummy.
*Okay, the bacon salt will be a new addition, next time I make french toast.
I’m quite fond of a bacon mcflurry with oreos. The bacon itself is near frozen and tastes horrible, but the icecream takes on a rather nice taste.
The “worst” example I can think of is something I ordered one magical morning at a local breakfast place… it was called french toast casserole. Basically, they took a whole bunch of their french toast (this place uses the big texas style pieces, and slathers them with a ton and a half of egg), chopped it up in little bits, soaked the whole mess in maple syrup and butter, put it in a pan, and baked it a little. Served with some extra cinnamon sprinkled over the top. It was amazing, all gooey in the middle…
My mom kept claiming that just looking at it made her want to puke.
On the other hand, my sister, dad, and occasionally I deeply enjoy some braunshwagger (I took a rough stab at spelling that). Mom hates it.
My dad will also gladly eat raw hot dogs straight out of the fridge, which everyone else but the dog finds disgusting. (The dog likes it primarily cause dad will give him extras)
Ugh. Liverwurst. How can he eat that? It’s CAT FOOD. He likes thick sliced liverwurst (or Braunschweiger (there you go, Ro Carter)) on rye bread with lots of coarse ground mustard and white onion slices. It’s still CAT FOOD.
I like chocolate banana milkshakes, which he hates. I also LOVE Quaker Instant Grits made with about 1/4th the recommended water. SO good, all dry and salty.
Raw mushrooms? Anyone? (Not that kind…)
Though I can’t understand how anyone can enjoy peanut butter and bananas together…
I flinched at the 'nana and mayo, but this really did make me :urk:
NajaHub doesn’t mind my penchant for certain smelly cheeses or the fact that I’ll find any possible excuse for anchovies, but he will not get within breath range if I’ve eaten olives of any kind within recent memory.
Also, re: buttern syrup, I’ve always done this with buttern honey, liberally baconated, and hot buttermilk biscuits.
I’ve tried Bacon Salt. It’s heavenly on potato salad. When I was putting it on the potato salad, some got on the cantelope I also had on my plate. That was interesting - sweet melon with bacony goodness.
My SO’s favorite sandwich is peanut butter, tuna and swiss cheese on a toasted English muffin. I thought it was hideous, until I lost a bet with him and had to try it. It’s surprisingly tasty.
Conversely, my mother eats sandwiches made with peanut butter and mayo or peanut butter and American cheese all the time. I find both revolting.
The SO likes to gross me out by eating sharp cheddar covered with syrup. He claims that he and his friends all love it, but it tastes like sugar covered bile to me. I’ll have to think of what I eat that he hates (something that is strange and not just the result of his picky tastes).
Licorice isn’t the devil’s poop. Natto is.
That’s a variation on an appetizer I’ve seen a number of times, thin wedges of canteloupe wrapped in prosciutto.
You know that salted licorice they have in one of those cold countries up there? Not the just salted some kind, the kind that’s SUPER SALTED? I touched it to my tongue and almost threw up, and I like licorice, even the salted kind. Himself loves the stuff. He’s always trying to get me to “try it again, please?”
I don’t know why I keep reading this thread. All it does is make me want to try some of the things people are talking about, most of which are not exactly conducive to my new diet.
The last time I read one of these “strange foods people eat” threads, I discovered a new vice - grilled peanut butter and cheese sandwiches. Which I haven’t had in quite a while now. And I happen to have all the ingredients in my kitchen.
