Weird things we eat because of our family

[Engrossed]

I just thought of something else that I don't think has been mentioned. Peanut butter and tomatoes on toasted rye bread with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. I eat these all the time in the summer when I have fresh tomatoes from my garden. Yummy.

I've never seen this combo, definitely sounds interesting and worth a try!

We used to have fruit for dessert occasionally, and my dad would pour milk over it. Bananas, peaches, strawberries, whatever. Not cream, just plain milk.

Bananas in milk with some sugar sprinkled on top

Yes, sugar is a must. But if I have cream I will use it! I eat all types of fruit this way.

He used to pour milk over chocolate pudding, too.

We LOVE jello with cream poured over it, and then you break it all up.

When I was a kid I loved peanut butter, bologna and dill pickle sandwiches. I still make it every couple of months of so, really filling and tasty. It doesn't digest as well as it used to nowadays so I have to be really craving it. LOL!

One thing I really like is when having spaghetti I like to put my green salad with Good Seasons Italian dressing on the same plate and mix it together with the spaghetti.

My grilled cheese sandwich I always use mayo instead of butter to grill in my cast iron skillet, wonderful, the mayo seems to grill crispier and stays nice and crispy versus butter.

The first one may tie with Kit's weird food combo LOL.

I haven't tried spaghetti mixed with salad but we love things like enchiladas or wet burritos mixed with a simple crunchy lettuce, onions and tomatoes. No dressing, but sour cream. And you have to get a little of everything on your fork.

I'll have to try the mayo on the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich. My MIL puts it on the inside of grilled cheese sandwiches though.

I forgot about these two combos! I love them both. Off to make jello.

I don't think this is weird at all but hubby does....I like jelly, jam or preserves on my ice cream!!!! Yummy!!!!
I like my corn bread with lots of melted butter and honey and crumbled on Chili!!!!!
Very tasty!
My sister used to eat sugar sandwiches!!!!!!!!!! Now that is just plain gross to me!

Yes, I like boysenberry preserves or syrup on ice cream. A friend taught me to try peanut butter on ice cream too...pretty good.

Now, I love cornbread with the butter and syrup but ON chili? That's another one that might tie with Kit's.

I never had a sugar sandwich but we had toast with butter and cinnamon sugar all the time when I was little.

When I was a kid, my mother used to serve me, and my friends, scrambled eggs with jelly. The idea revolts me now, but we really used to like it.

I had forgotten that! Used to love it, and actually a current jelly omelet can make a nice dessert.

Took a short break to make lunch for my picky toddler Max and me.

For me I made something one my Aunts taught me years ago: a baked potato with salsa and sour cream. Yum!

For Max, a newly found favorite of his, a plain quesadilla. While I was making it, I was trying to think of things I might be able to sneak in it next time, and because of this thread, I thought of something really weird: boysenberry preserves. Well cheese and fruit go together right?

I never thought any child of mine would be a picky eater.

I didn't realize that most did not marry their sandwich condiments, I do it all the time, in fact a sandwich isn't a sandwich without mayo (sometimes ranch) and mustard. That thought is actually quite weird to me. Really, at Subway people often put mayo and mustard on their sandwich together when I'm standing in line waiting for my turn.

I didn't realize this either. I thought it was the norm to use both Mayo and mustard on sandwiches.

We have a weird family recipe that's actually really good- it just looks ugly! My Mom would spread mustard over the top of a thick ham steak, and pour milk around it in the dish. It came out of the oven looking sort of creepy, but it's yummy!!

Hmm...Maybe I'll make it for Halloween. ;)
