Two great tastes...

[lupo pazzesco]

Me too! My addiction was Claussen's (do they still make pickles?).

Yes. Yes they do. And they're STILL tasty and addicting!

Jester - My husband is like your friend Harley. He thinks I'm weird for eating cold pizza (I've even introduced Child Rum to the joy of cold pizza). Thing is though, he went to college. 3 different ones. And he still doesn't like cold pizza! On nights I order pizzas, he called me about 10 minutes from the house for me to heat up the oven (with the pizza stone in there of course) so his pizza can be heated up. I keep telling him he doesn't know what he's missing, but he doesn't seem to care.

The only thing that I ever got strange looks for as a kid- Toast with mayo and some seasoning. And it had to be real mayo- not fat free or miracle whip or any variation- otherwise I'd refuse to eat it. It had to be Hellman's mayo on toast. Yum!

Jester, throw me in with the minority- I went to college and I prefer to heat my pizza (I'll eat it cold if I'm desperate, but I don't care for it). And cold pasta? ICK.

That drink recipe sounds delicious... I might have to get some ingredients...

[ArcticChicken]

I used to insist on potato chip and ketchup sandwiches for lunch.

Hard boiled eggs with chipotle Tabasco sauce.

[CaroPhoenix]

OoO! Here is one my mom likes to eat:

Refried Beans (doesn't matter which brand - My mom likes Rosarita) on toast.

[Kogarashi]

Maybe it's just me but some of these combos sound pretty tame (especially the baked/mashed potato ones).

For Hubby and I, any pizza place we try out has to pass both the hot pizza and cold pizza tests before it gets our seal of approval. Is the pizza good fresh and hot the night we order it? Great! Are the leftovers just as good straight from the fridge the next morning? Awesome! Repeat business! We've had to mark a few pizzarias off our list due to failure of the second test.

One more combo I just recalled that doesn't seem that strange to me but has garnered me several weird looks is potato chips (any kind, but preferrably flavored) with plain sour cream for dipping. As I've pointed out to several people, it's really just chips and dip with the dip flavoring all on the chip instead of in the sour cream, but they still raise their eyebrows and shake their heads. I did get my mother-in-law hooked on it, though. She says she likes the "mild" flavor of it, which I guess makes sense since I got to liking it because I don't really like how strong most store-bought dips are. That, and the flavors clash too much if you dip flavored chips (like sour cream & onion chips, my fave) in an equally flavored dip.

Every one of them has admitted that, damn it, beer DOES go well with breakfast, especially egg breakfasts. Try it. You'll like it. (This only applies to people who like beer, of course.)

Not surprising. I believe up until the late 1800's or early 1900's, beer was the favorite breakfast drink. Then coffee took over.

I did a project on the history of coffee last year. All I have to say about that is 'bouncing sheep'.

My cravings take me to weird places.

At work, I like to have a bagel with only cheese and breakfast sauce, extra breakfast sauce.
Bread dipped in ranch.
celery with mustard
pickles and vanilla ice cream
French fries dipped in either mayo or ranch
Mac and cheese with mustard
popcorn and hotsauce (NUMMY!)
peanut butter and marshmellow fluff sandwiches
butter and sugar sandwiches
ham,cheese, and chip sandwiches

That's all I can think of for now.

[BookstoreEscapee]

And you and I both know that you are in the minority.

Yeah. I'm not even all that crazy about reheated pizza...

butter and sugar sandwiches

I honestly thought I was the only person who did this.

[AccountingDrone]

*slaps forehead*

How could I forget the cottage cheese and paprika serving? I love to add paprika to my cottage cheese!

And I love sliced braunschweiger (which I smoosh a little when putting it on my sandwich) on bread - but since I don't like rye, I put it on other bread (namely wheat). I usually put mayo on the bread and braunschweiger and smoosh the bread together. Yummy! Now I want some braunschweiger.

German family?

Only people I know who like paprika on cottage cheese [or horseradish and cottage cheese] are german =)

Though really it is supposed to be quark, but I am lazy and havent made quark in a year, I just buy cottage cheese =)

peanut butter and marshmellow fluff sandwiches

Ah, the noble fluffernutter. Delicious.

I used to like Nutella and honey sandwiches. Oh, and one time I ate an entire large jar of green olives in a single sitting. They were delicious.

[LingualMonkey]

Oh, and one time I ate an entire large jar of green olives in a single sitting. They were delicious.

One of my local grocery stores sells giant green olives stuffed with bleu cheese. They are so close to a food form of heroin, I've thought about injecting them directly into my arm.

[It shouldn't]

When the hubby isn't home for dinner, I do some odd things.

Herb sandwiches : Rye bread with creme cheese and herbs.
(I just go in the garden pick some chives, parsley, basil, chilantro, little bit of oregano and chop it all up and sprinkle thickly on the cream cheese, add a little paprika, salt and pepper on top and yum.) Sometimes I add a slice of tomato or swiss cheese.

Braunschweiger and sauerkraut
Just throw a small can of sauerkraut drained into a pot, add some cubes of braunschweiger and heat it all up. Sometimes I add some shredded swiss cheese at the end.

Tomato and mayo sandwiches
no explanation necesary

cottage cheese and sliced radish sandwiches (with a little salt, pepper and paprika)

Marinated bologna
Slice an onion thin, make a marinate out of water, vinegar, salt, pepper and a bit of sugar. Toss in onions and thick cut bologna and marinate for a day. You can toss a tomato or a cucumber in there with it too. Kinda a german antipasto, then.

Nutella and sliced banana sandwiches
or
Nutella and sliced strawberries sanwiches.

Can ya tell I'm german?

[Kogarashi]

Tomato and mayo sandwiches
no explanation necesary

Substitute miracle whip for the mayo and add pepper (preferrably fresh-ground), and you've got one of my favorite sandwiches. I picked it up from my dad. Nummy.

My daughter has made me gag before by dipping her fruit and green beans in ketchup. Ugh. But then, she's two. She'll also eat the occasional orange peel, and likes raw onions (she snacks on them straight until she accidentally rubs her eyes, at which point she's done).

She also surprises people by actually eating lettuce after dipping it in salad dressing, instead of just using it as a vehicle for the dressing to get to her mouth.

[Akasa]

You know what makes a peanut butter and mayo sandwich better? Lettuce. Seriously. Adds a nice cruchy texture.

I second that!

I like cream gravy, not brown, on my french fries. Its so hard to find cream gravy over here.
