OK, I need to know that I'm not alone in my odd food combo cravings. Please share yours!

I'll start -- I like to eat dill pickle spears wrapped in meunster cheese.

Basilgirl · September 22, 2003

That doesn't make me go ew.

What did once was watching my boyfriend's father put peanut butter on green pepper strips. :blink:

Okay, this isn't combining food per se, but sort of.

I used to breakfast at the office on lemon yogurt and Slim Jims. And it had to be Berkeley Farms lemon yogurt which is fairly sweet. And it had to be the Tabasco Slim Jims.

Very hot and salty french fries dipped in very cold and sweet chocolate milkshakes make Sam go "ew," but I love them. Then again, twinkies make Sam go "ew," too, so what does he know?

oh and boloney sandwiches on wonder bread with um...fritos...on the sandwich.

Uh-huh. That's got it all goin' on...sweet, salty, hot, cold. One of the only reasons left to go to McDonald's.

I still make this childhood concoction every now and again: a bunch of Ruffles chips between 2 slices of VERY soft wonder bread.

With mayo??

When I was a kid I put salt on Wonder bread and ate it. But only if no one was looking.

Bond Girl · September 22, 2003

in my recent Bacelona experience, Celery in desserts, spicy milk custard with chocolate pralines.

Myste · September 22, 2003

tortilla chips with plain mayo for dip.

KAPDADDY · September 22, 2003

Crushed fritos, pickle spear and FRench's mustard wrapped in a flour tortilla; my brother eats this as a midday snack a few times a week.

Pyewacket · September 22, 2003

Bananas dipped in barbecue sauce-sounds yucky, but surprisingly good.

Also, my Mom used to make the family "hawaiian sandwiches"-toast spread with peanut butter, a pinapple ring and cheddar cheese, then popped in the toaster to melt the cheese. We all loved 'em!

Popcorn with brewer's yeast on top is another favorite.

tammylc · September 22, 2003

Both peanut butter and jelly and peanut butter and banana sandwiches sound utterly bizarre to me (although to be fair, I've never tried either, but the just sound so unappetizing!).

As a child, I used to dip my peanut butter sandwiches in my Lipton's instant chicken noodle soup and have fond memories of the combination, although not fond enough to attempt to recreate...

NeroW · September 22, 2003

There's another thread on this, but I don't know how to post links.

It's called something like "What We Eat When No One Else Is Looking."

Grew up on peanut butter and mayo (Hellmann's only!). :biggrin: Yums! Then got lost in a canyon in Wyoming, popped out on the opposite side of our camp, and trudged for miles around the rim, until we hit a ranch. The lady of the land's standard fare for lost and found Girl Scouts was the sourest lemonade on God's green earth, and...peanut butter, mayo and DILL PICKLE sandwiches! My poor companion in adversity turned greener than when we drank out of the horse trough at the thought. All I could do was say 'thank you, Lord!' :biggrin:
