What strange foods do you like?

[Tre4ISU]

I've never thought about this. I'm am one of the least "picky" eaters in the world but I can't think of a single weird thing I make or eat.

I will say some of you guys chips sandwiches sound appealing.

 

[CYedUp]

Headcheese.... It's pretty gross how it's made but man is it good

 

[Bipolarcy]

I eat sardines with honey mustard right out of the can probably 1-2x/week. Very nutrient dense food and many say eww when I eat them lol.

A true underdog story -- Honey mustard, the worst two combination of flavors anyone could ever think of, has suddenly become the go-to for a lot of people. I can't stand honey mustard.

No clue if these fall in the weird category or not.

Peanut butter on pancakes and it is even better on waffles. Maple syrup and PB were made for each other. Not weird at all. I pretty much have to have at least a couple with PB anytime we have either at home.

I love a grilled cheese sandwich with cold pork n beans to dip the sandwich into.

My Polish wife's family makes the equivalent of bacon fat on bread. They of course have a name for it, but that is what it actually is. Obviously pretty tasty, but the first time I saw someone smearing bacon fat on bread it made my head spin. Never tried that, but if I can sneak it by the wife I will often fry up a slice of bread in the left over bacon grease. Bacon grease toast is where it's at!

I will probably have a Curly heart attack someday:

I like to drink dill-pickle juice.

Not a mass-quantity, just a few sips from the jar after the pickles are depleted.

Cream cheese and lettuce sandwich. Already mentioned but pb and syrup on waffles is great.

Do gizzards count? Love some fried gizzards.

There are so many good choices in this thread but since my heart attack my wife has adapted a "heart healthy" diet for me. It's pretty easy to follow: If it tastes good I can't have it. One breakfast item I haven't been opposed to so far is oatmeal topped with canned peaches. We had a bumper crop of peaches last year and I canned close to 40 quarts so it's an easy choice to pound them down

Is the Clive spot on University, west of I35?

We were at the one in Ankeny and watched the game there Saturday night. Great tenderloins, lasagna and pizza!

When I was a kid I would make myself a ham sandwich using the packaged ham, not the deli counter stuff, with a full slice of onion, green olives, and sprinkle Lowrys all over that bad boy. So good.

 

[CYKXBUT2]

Pickled heart.

 

[scyclonekid]

Don’t do it anymore haven’t in many years, but growing up on the farm onion sandwiches two pieces of bread a slice of onion, butter, salt.

 

[scyclonekid]

Beef heart n onions, ritz cracker sharp cheddar cheese on top with cheap yellow mustard

 

[scyclonekid]

Fried pig brains grandma used to tell me it was breaded tenderloins so I would eat it and when I liked it she unveiled her lie lol.

My wife is Mexican and she has introduced me to a bunch of interesting food:

Tacos de lengua, or tongue. Lengua burritos are tasty.

There is a food truck my son and I would hit in Perry after baseball a couple years ago that made awesome tacos de lengua. It’s very good.

I like coconut waaaaaaay more than most people. I'm basically like Bubba from Forest Gump except coconut instead of shrimp.

Coconut...
pie
cake
milk
water
soap
ice cream
candy
cookies
cooking oil

last week i got scrach pads to do dishes made out of coconut that smell like coconut

I freaking love coconut. It’s to the point that I can’t even fathom that someone could not like it.

Getting harder to find places that serve them.

That's really interesting. I am generally not a big fan of coconut. It's mostly a texture thing though with shredded coconut.

However, I had sweet coconut milk rice (in Edmonton of all places) and it was absolutely fantastic. I've tried a few times to replicate it but came up waaay short of the mark.

Hash brown Sandwiches.

Toast or bread.
Frozen hash brown patty
cheese slice
Mustard or Ketchup or both.

Simple cook hash brown patty in toaster, make sandwich, enjoy. Lessen that hangover the next day.

They are good, they are simple, and they serve the purpose at 3am after a night of drinking.

At least that is what they were once used for, now I still eat one on occasion.



Also, my wife thinks it is strange that I put salt on Melons, and Apples. (which is strange because I rarely use salt on anything else.) Everyone in my family always eats melon with salt though.

I use ketchup or BBQ sauce on chips.

I like raw potatoes used to be a "treat" when my mom was cutting them up.
