I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

I basically eat all sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels if I can. Eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese for breakfast? Yes. Pastrami and Swiss with mustard and sprouts? Yes. Tuna salad with Swiss? Yes. I get so many weird looks. But whatever. I like it. :)

Raw garlic, just once in a while, as a little treat. Sometimes I’ll mash it up in some bread but most often… plain, raw garlic.

I have also not met a single thing I won’t try to pickle at least once, and for some reason people around me think that it is Terrifying hahaha. Personally, I find pickling to be a fantastic way to rescue produce that’s otherwise about to go off. Instead of making food waste, I’m making delicious snacks and toppings. Pickle everything!

Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!

Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.

A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.

Cheez-its dipped in melted chocolate

My girlfriend and her entire family think I'm an alien for drinking milk whenever I have popcorn. It doesn't even register as a strange combination to me. I think they're very complementary flavors.

Brewed tea leaves, think they're the best part. There's a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.

Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there's also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There's also matcha.

I enjoy ginger beer and will try to cut it into random other alcoholic beverages like red wine.

Toasted Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cheez whiz. Everyone in my family loves it. You will too. 😂

One of my favorite foods is piping hot macaroni and cheese topped with cold apple sauce. Everyone I know gives me bad looks, but I quite enjoy it.

My boyfriend's dad liked putting American cheese on top of apple pie for some reason and this sounds like someone heard of that and decided they wanted the apple on top of their cheese instead.

[–] GeekyOnion@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think cheddar on top of apple pie is a pretty common thing, but American cheese sounds off.

[–] Limeade@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Both sound revolting to me, but I also have a strong aversion to mixing sweet and savory flavors in general. Cheddar is my favorite cheese and I like apple pie, but I do not want them together.

Maybe I remembered the wrong kind of cheese, but his family did like American cheese a lot.

Oh man, if you like that, try fish sticks topped with macaroni and cheese and apple sauce. It's heaven. The flavours all go so well together. I normally have to eat my foods one dish at a time, but this is one of the weird mixtures that doesn't make me want to freak out.

My mom grew up poor and in the south, and one of her comfort "poverty foods" is a bologna and peanut butter sandwich. They're delicious.

Another one that's really good is Ritz crackers in milk.

chips + jam

specifically, kettle chips (plain salted or unsalted) with a nice strawberry or blackberry jam to dip them in...

where it really gets controversial is that I like to do this with the bonne maman jams 🙈

Greek yogurt and natural peanut for breakfast. Not really that odd in my opinion but the face of the people I tell that too say otherwise.

I some time thaw frozen dumplings in the fridge, and then eat them cold on hot days.

[–] CyanFen@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago
