We used to make tomato, cheese and mustard sandwiches back in school all the time. Sometimes we'd add lettuce too. It was like a poor mans BLT or something. Also, I like to add a bit of cream and sugar to my tea, which seems odd to some people, but that's how we did it growing up.
What combo of foods do you enjoy that others might find a bit odd?
I have been told I am gross because I love bread with my yogurt.
Mind you it needs to be something like a freshly baked baguette with a crunchy crust- dunk it right into the yogurt container hmmm hmmmm good
Personally I like sugar and some fresh squeezed lemon juice in my english breakfast tea.
Butter (or margarine), banana, and potato chip sandwich.
I put it together in grade school and been hooked ever since.
Avocado and banana sandwich.
When I ate meat, the middle eastern combination of powdered sugar on roasted chicken, especially with Moroccan spices was delicious!
Spaghetti with a sauce made out of ketchup and cottage cheese. It's good, try it!
Also, a chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese and lox.
Honey and cheese. I also really like to have cream and sugar in my tea. =)
Is cream and sugar unusual? I always put milk and sugar in my English Breakfast tea, and I thought everyone else did, too.
Peanut butter and pickle sandwhiches...I've loved them since I was a little girl. :)
Let's see...
Pizza dipped in ranch dressing
Peanut-Butter & Jelly & Dorito sandwich
Chocolate covered bacon (although I think this one has caught on)
My brother, not me... likes Peanut-Butter and Bologna on toast.. :-X
Mashed potatoes mixed with sweet corn.
Beans over cole slaw with corn bread on the side. Got that one from my Dad.
Of course if you don't care for beans or cole slaw, you may not like it. Good
meal in the fall when it starts getting cooler.
nutella and rice crispy treats

Is that just pineapple between two pieces of bread, like how it sounds?
My friends father used to take a cracker and spread butter and peanut butter on it. That always seemed odd to me.
A warm flour tortilla, spread w/a little butter, a roasted Hatch (no others will do) chili, and a slice of bologna. Sinfully delicious.
sweet pickle and onion sandwich with mayo :) we where dirt poor as a kid and this is what my granny made for my lunch and I loved it and still do :) I can almost see her putting up her own pickles and produce. Her sweet pickled beets where to die for...*sigh* I miss my granny.
PBJ sandwich, but with banana slices in it!
French toast with PB...
Green olives! In salads, scrambled eggs, by themselves!
If you get the right mixture of milk and coke its really good but its like near impossible to get it right.
Dona, I've always liked to mix corn with mashed potatoes, also peas. Kind of a poor man's shepherd's pie.
And Muffin, I too, love to dip pizza into Ranch dressing!

Seems like everyone under the age of 25 dips
everything in ranch these days.
There was a pizza place in town that would put peanut butter on your pizza, though I dont think I tried it.
French fries & brown gravy...
cream and sugar in tea is the british thing to do, and it is SCRUMPTIOUS!
cheese and pickle sandwiches (bread and butter pickles, please)
haggis breakfast tacos! haggis, scrambled eggs, topped with cheese and a little HP sauce, in a tortilla- YUUUUUMMMM
I like wolf brand chili with cheese and cinnimon
I like salted caramels, chocolate with hot peppers in it (mmmm... dark chocolate truffles with cayenne)

Wow! Flashback! My mother was a big cheese and pickle sandwich fan. I do not care for pickles at all, but Mom would fix me peanutbutter and hard boiled egg sandwiches, which I still enjoy.

cheese and pickle comes from my grandmother- and to this day, very little is as satisfying!
oh, and, forgot to add- tomato sandwiches (ripe tomato slived on bread spread with miracle whip)
Corn Nuts and peanut m&m's.
MMMM! Tomato sandwiches!
Also french fries with mayo, not that nasty ketchup!
And rice, corn & cheese! Our very own homemade "have no money and are hungry!" food - take rice, canned corn, a smidge of butter and toss in some velveeta. Easy, cheap and oh-so-filling!
BLTs with peanut butter (PB on one slice of toast and Miracle Whip on the other)...so far everyone we have gotten to try this loves it. My family made Pirate Bob a complete convert after we "made" him try it just once!!!
wait... PB and miracle whip? I love both of those... but, together? well, I guess, peanut soup has citrus, and the ZIP in MW is maybe kinda citrusy...
Curry in macaroni & cheese
got that beat- KETCHUP in mac and cheese! and soetimes, alittle liquid smoke and sriracha
and also, Major Grey chutney on haggis is a thing of beauty

I also used to eat that with banana and pickle slices...I did the fried bologna & peanut butter, too (someone mentioned their brother liked it)...not so much anymore, though.
I like pizza with pineapple, black olive & jalapeno on it, too... :)
Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese and salsa.
I make peanut butter-oatmeal-chocolate chip-walnut-almond-pecan-cranberry-raisin cookies... and they're both healthy enough and yummy enough to have as breakfast, or any other meal.
Haggis and Major Gray's.....that sounds wonderful as well as historically ironic. I am definitely going to try that, though if I were British would I need therapy afterward?

slice of pineapples between two slices of bread and mayo on the bread
where there's gravy - I like a little ketchup mixed in with it...
I also like to top my biscuits and sausage gravy with salsa/picante'. Yum!
Hmm. Sunny-side up eggs and maple syrup
Thick slices of both tomatoes and onion, bit o' cracked black pepper and buttered bread.

Ya well i usually mix the syrup and eggs yolks (which has gotten me a few ewws) As far as the sammich, I'm talking 1/2" thick slices...although I guess im just a 'lil balsamic and basil away from bruschetta. ;D

Oh yea, I've had Biscuits-n-Gravy with grape jelly...a friend does that and once I tried it....not bad!!!!
I like my fries dipped in the original chocolate frosties from Wendy's.
I also like to add garlic cloves to my Mac & Cheese, with some sour cream instead of milk, and a bit of hot sauce...usually chilula. So yummy!! My irishman introduced me to it this summer.

O.K., I am so trying that!
I also like old fashioned butter noodles with a bit of Parmesan and a big "plop" of cottage cheese. Sprinkle with fresh chive and a little cracked pepper and I'm in for a pasta induced coma!
I think this is one of my Mom's "gotta feed the kids, what's in the house" combos. I've never heard of it elsewhere, anyway.
White bread, mayo and raisin sandwich.
Not weird at all to me, but my friends get a laugh from it.
Has anyone seen the Dom Deluise film Fatso? That's what this thread reminds me of. There's a scene where the Chubby Checkers (his weight loss group) are in an intervention. They are all sitting around the table talking bout their favorite things to eat. There's a line that cracks me up, because it's so the kind of thing I'd do....
"Did you ever suck the jelly out of a jelly donut, put in a reses and then melt it in the oven? " :D
One of these days I'm gonna give that a whirl.
A friend of mine takes to bottom off of a cupcake and puts it on top to make a sandwich everytime she eats them. It looks like this:

Peanut butter, lettuce, and miracle whip sandwiches.... peanut butter on one slice of bread, miracle whip on the other, and lettuce in between :P. YUMMMM
Growing up, my dad would make us peanut butter adn mayo, or peanut butter and banana sandwiches. On rare occasion he was too tired to be thinking straight and sent us to school with banana mayo sandwiches. The PB and banana weren't bad, but the others just didn't sit right with me.
One of our favorites here:
2 cans chili, 1 can stewed tomatoes, 'bout 10 oz velveeta, and a cup of half & half, cooked & stirred together till its orange goop, and ladeled over fritos. SOunds funky, but it tastes good.

That sounds like a take on frito pie...
pb & banana is yummy, my son loves it. I bet if you drizzled some chocolate syrup on it would be awesome! I also like pb & honey. One of our family favorites is chocolate syrup on a slice of bread. My hubby looked at me like I was nuts the first time he saw it. What can I say, I come from a family of chocoholics... ;D
Plain yogurt with blackberry jam or apple butter
Chex Mix with candy corn (IMO not really all that weird but totally awesome!)
Potato chips dipped in ketchup
Fries dipped in ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing
french fries and country gravy, sausage gravy even better, pepper again.
bisquits and red eye gravy- from salt cured pork drippings and coffee grounds.
fried salmon patties with portwine cheese spread on top, omg divine.
hot buttered, salted cornbread and cold milk mixed like cereal.
fried green tomato lasagne, like eggplant lasagne, so good guaranteed to make everybody slap-happy.

Pb & honey is good, we do pb, honey, and jam... My old babysitter way back when did pb&j differently. it wasn't peanut butter and jelly, it was peanut, butter, and jelly.
My family has always used mayonaise on the outside of grilled cheese sandwiches, instead of butter. Gives it a little different flavor. Do NOT try it with miracle whip...
I didn't think pb and naners was weird. One night I slathered pb on one slice of bread, nutella on the other, sliced bananas in between. Buttered the outsides and grilled it like grilled cheese. Dusted it with powdered sugar. I took a bite...HEAVEN! Ran upstairs with my new creation to show it off/share with Lady Mikayla. She took one bite and said it was pure sin. This thing is SO rich that I bet you could quarter it and share with 3 others.

Hahahaha, well I think we've established at this point that any combo of PB and banana seems pretty commonm, as does any potato product with gravy/sauce poured on it.
Now, how about a slice of apple pie, but then putting some cheddar cheese on it? Sounds pretty gross, but a friend said hsi aunt used to make that when he was a kid.
My family has always done Velveeta with 2 small cans of Rotel tomatoes and a pound of browned breakfast sausage, mild or spicy, with a cup of milk or half-n-half, heated in the crockpot until goop, then ladled into bowls for dipping with the big Scoops Fritos. This is an "every major holiday" offering... (I really like it with Hormel chili instead of the Rotel, though)
A salt bagel sliced in half and smothered with cream cheese and sliced pimento olives.
An overload of sodium but so worth it.
Potato chips sprinkled with dillweed.
French fries dipped in mayonnaise.
And the french fries with gravy? That was my lunch every day in 10th grade. :D

apple and cheddar is an OLD combo... when i was poor, (should I say, poorER) my dinner was usually apple and cheese. Now i like to spread a sweet apple with Laughing Cow...
There's this Lindt extra dark chocolate bar (I think it's Lindt) that contains cherry and cayenne pepper. It is awesome. I like the chocolate and pepper combo a lot, but the cherry adds something.
My husband likes a bleu-cheese bacon burger with a fried egg on top, but I dunno how "weird" that is.
granny smith apple with bacon on grilled cheese
Just heard of this new odd food trend today: sriracha and peanut butter. People either just mix it and eat it, or using it on crackers, muffins, celery sticks, etc.
granny smiths with caramel sauce. The Smuckers ice cream topping is pretty nice too.
Not sure how odd this is but a yummy version of a grilled cheese sandwich: cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, fresh cut tomatos and honey!

I give them mostly cola then add milk till it's nice and foamy. I won't drink it, but they love it!
Who else remembers that combination of Milk and Pepsi from the Laverne and Shirley show?!
Always wanted to be Laverne and Shirley with my best friend. *sigh*
I have a few... I like to dip my popcorn in my Coke. I like saltine crackers w/ Italian dressing. And... I like to dip potato chips in a mustard/mayo mix. :/ Oh, and I almost forgot... Pineapple sandwiches!! YUMMY!! (Though I don't think I'd eat them all in the same day... )

I remember seeing that when I was a kid, tried it, and (apparently) got the milk-to-Pepsi ratio all wrong, because it was not creamy and delicious at all...in fact, it was the opposite of delicious :-\
and peole think hot Dr Pepper with lemon is wierd!!!!
(it's not, it's delicious on a cold day!!!)
Vanilla snow. Pack a large bowl with snow, add vanilla extract and sugar. Mom
and grandma made it and I remember it. Unfortunately, now living in south Texas,
I can only make it every 15 to 20 years.

And also sprinkle regular potato chips with dillweed.

We call those snowcones here. But you can just get machines that make the ice and put all kinds of flavors on it.

A couple weird ones. Ranch dressing on pizza, honey and peanut butter sandwiches.
When I was little my grandma would make me brown sugar sandwiches, two pieces of bread, a lot of butter and a lot of brown sugar = 1 kid bouncing off the walls, out the door and down the street
Grandma rawked ;D
I will swear with my dying breath that this combo is just wrong but after having tried it im sold Scrambled Eggs and Tuna. Really glad to know I am not the only one who likes fries and mayo and nobody has mentioned chocalate gravy.
My son does the fries and mayo thing, and has for years. I figured he picked that up in NYC.

Deep fried PB&J's were at the State Fair this year. Maybe that's catching on...
Germany left me with a preference for Curry Ketchup on fries....
French fries with cider vinegar and brown gravy (curds deliciously optional), french fries and vanilla milkshake (especially Braums), and smushed Doritos in turkey sandwiches. yum!
Bacon, jalapeno, mac & cheese
4 slices crispy bacon chopped
2 jalapenos medium dice
(devein, deseed or not)
Prep m&c while still hot add bacon and jalapenos.
Next day
Grilled cheese
2 slices bread
2 slices cheese
ΒΌ" slice leftover bacon, jalapeno mac & cheese
I dip popcorn in my Bloody Mary or v8.
Cottage cheese and potatoe chips.......oh and pepper on the cottage cheese...... ;D
Found this in the bottom (everything dumped) of my lunch bag one day, BBQ corn nut and plain M&Ms.
Sweet and salty.
i can always go with chicken nuggets dipped in vanilla pudding, a bet in high school that i liked.
My coworker likes peanutbutter on pizza. I tried a slice and it was... odd. Kinda creamy and sweet, which is not what you expect from pizza usually.
tuna fish sandwich with sunchips inside
Kraft Mac and Cheese with Apple Sauce
Mashed Potatoes with Apple Sauce
Chicken Cutlets with Apple Sauce
Pork Chops with Apple Sauce
Sense a theme here? LOL. Everything tastes better with Apple Sauce!
I also put ketchup on mashed potatoes and people think it's weird. And BBQ sauce on any Rice A Roni. Yum!
