We all have them or have tried them! I'm curious to know...what is something that you have mixed together and absolutely love but someone else thinks is completely disgusting? Or maybe you've been called weird because of it?

I've put mayo in my chicken ramen...

Green olives dipped into Cool Whip...

Ranch and french fries [though I've seen a lot of people do this- my friends think it's odd- well..some of them]

Nothing particular, but I tend to mix appetizers, entrees, main courses and desserts all together. I have no problem with taking one bit of pizza, when the next one is chocolate mousse and then go back to the pizza

I've been known to do things like that as well, particularly if we're at a buffet of some sort.

When I was really young, I would eat pickle and mayo sandwiches.. with those being the only ingredients. I now think that's sort of gross, but Hey.

My grandmother eats ketchup in ramen. I eat condiments on EVERTHING.

It's not exactly a weird combination, but my habits tend to be weird as to how I eat things. If I'm eating mexican food and they bring multiple kinds of salsa, I will break the chips apart and dip each side into a different sauce and eat them piled on top of each other.

Hm, lately I was being quite uh...nice. I just mixed Fanta with Choco-Syrup.

Earlier I used to put the oddest Things together. Everything odd mixed. Hehe.

Garlic onion mustard pickle on rye. I love those.

I used to eat a lot of strange things, but unfortunately I stopped that when I started dating again a long while back (heh, garlic onion mustard pickle on rye is not a date-able type of meal :D ). Problem is, I love strong flavors.

Chili oil on fruit? Salt on chocolate? Pretty good stuff (I'm ignoring the normal ones like salt on watermelon/starfruit, of course.)

Ketchup on Mashed Potatoes I guess. Not that out there, but people still /boggle when I do it.

Sriracha on everything, of course.

One of my co-workers/supervisors will eat half a slice of cheese folded over a hamburger dill pickle... o.O I like them on burgers, but alone it seems strange to me lol

Caramel apple dip on soft pretzels. :)

I do that too - need one flavour to neutralise another as it were.

Mm..that sounds pretty good, actually :yes:

Taco 'burger'- instead of a tortilla, I use a hamburger bun. Haven't done it in a long while, but it's pretty tasty :D

I've topped plain cereal like Cheerios or Cornflakes with strawberry-banana Jello-O powder [I still love it :D]

Green olives dipped into Cool Whip...

Hard to beat that one, but I've heard of a dish of bananas and endive that sounds so odd I've never had the nerve to try it.

I've eaten pasta with tuna, raisins and pine nuts (old Roman dish) that was OK.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwich, but it has to be those sweet pickle chips. It's actually much better than it sounds.

A friend who lived in Thailand for a few years developed a liking for mangoes with hot peppers.

Pumpkin milkshake

Avocado ( ripe chunks ), ground cooked carrots, in my spaghetti sauce, spiced with Sage, Celery salt, and garlic.

New Orleans Cajun spiced Guatamalan ( very tender ) Broccoli, with a touch of chipotle sauce and a touch of Sesame oil, served up with sliced chicken breast or fish.

Tangerine juice mixed with a little grapefruit and sweetener.

Rhubarb ( soft and cooked ) and real Vanilla milkshake.

Sea scallops sauteed with extremely fine Basil, and braised sweet peppers and asparagus.

Making pesto with nuts other than Pine nuts.

Pizza with chopped hard boiled egg, chopped hearts of palm and diced chicken, and greens as toppings.

Shaping cooked pasta and using it to make sculptures that harden.

I remember reading about a dish ( which, unlike these others listed here, I haven't tried yet ) that consisted of a squid that was poached in its own ink.

I like the flavors of chile peppers and chocolate mixed together. Lots of people recoil at it, but it's been around for hundreds of years. I also like that Vosges chocolate bacon bar. I think I'm going to make chocolate cookies studded with bacon for Christmas this year.

Ew?!! Whipped cream is AWESOME, but I think it'd take away from the hot-dog. I like strong flavors when it comes to American dishes.

I, too, put ketchup on scrambled eggs sometimes (though I think I'm more partial to salsa now.) but for some reason I cannot put it on a sunny-side up style egg. I think the yolk does a wonderful job of flavoring the egg.

Sounds like something you would do :hug:

I eat horseradish or spicy-mustard stuff on a LOT of dishes. Does anyone like that really really spicy mustard? (I know they serve it at chinese restuarants around here.) I simply feel naked eating chinese take-out without it anymore.

He's also fond of tomato and cheese sandwiches and mustard on noodles though!

Pulpo en su tinto is actually quite delicious ;)

I love bagel, cream cheese, lox and olive sandwiches. I put extra salt in my canned chicken noodle soup. No sandwich except a reuben is complete without potato chips on it and I like hot peppers with watermelon as well :drool:

These aren't really weird things though, I suppose.

(also rye toast, cream cheese and dill pickle sandwiches are quite splendid!)

I too have been on the receiving end of the angst of the anti-honey & peanut butter haters.

So apparently it’s weird to eat hotdog rolls with ketchup, mustard and cheese if you don’t have a hotdog :huh: apparently toasted sandwiches with banana are also not normal.

...tomato and cheese sandwiches...

I shall now have to ask if ArbiterDewey indulges in these... He's quite fond of the tomato. And by quite fond, I mean I could quote him on several beyond-liking-tomato sayings. ;)

...bagel, cream cheese, lox and olive sandwiches... No sandwich ... is complete without potato chips on it

:drool: THAT sounds splendid. and I also put potato chips in almost any sandwich I eat. Subway used to give me weird looks when I went ahead and grabbed the bag of chips and handed it to them :devil: but I think they're used to it now.

How about chocolate and orange peel? I make this occasionally, and I quite like it. I dunno if that's odd, but I don't know how many people like orange peel.

Crab meat and cream cheese is excellent together! (Whatever, seeing you a great fan of cream cheese, I recommend this.) I had never thought of it before, but my second favorite sushi roll thus far has turned out to be that combination. It's awesome.

Don’t wanna argue with the King but adding peanut butter to every meal to get some protein is overkill methinks.

I rarely eat cheese at all (or any dairy product for that matter) but I find it nearly impossible to resist cream cheese matched with something really salty :wubbie: They just set each other off so irresistibly!

I also like peas on my pizza, but that's a lot more common in South America :ninja:

I do the bagel sandwich thing, too-- though with green olives and no lox [I haven't ever tried lox, and I'm sort of afraid to. I don't even really know what it is o.o].

That rye toast sandwich sounds good, too. I freaking love cream cheese much more than I really ought to. So unhealthy...but so gooood. :D

go further and make stuffed french toast: mash bananas and mix them with equal amount of peanut butter. Spread between to slices of bread, secure with toothpicks then dip in egg/milk mixture and fry in butter on both sides.
