Ewwww! Yummmm! Ewwww!

I'm sure we're aware that one person's vile, nausea-inducing bucket of slop is another person's most favoritest yummola snack in the world. Usually this discussion is limited to I love sushi / I hate sushi and the like, but what I have recently become fascinated, nay obsessed with, is certain combinations of food that most people would never ever have thought of but others adore.

esorlehcar likes to dip her french fries in her chocolate shake. whatssnoo puts tuna fish in her macaroni and cheese. Either of these combinations can have me fleeing the room. But I like to put grape jelly on my scrambled eggs, which disgusts both of them. (Jelly omlette! It turns the eggs sort of purplish-green, like a bruise! It's yummy!)

So, c'mon, 'fess up. What combo makes you all happy but sends other people out for fresh air? I'm just totally interested in the idea of bizarre food combinations that people actually eat.

I'm also a chocolate shake/french fry person. I love bacon and sausage in syrup, mustard in my egg salad, and the only way I'll eat ketchup is in a bacon-cheese-and-ketchup sandwich. But the only food I eat that makes people run screaming is black pudding... And possibly cornmeal mush with salt, butter, and bacon...

Bacon or sausage in syrup isn't that unusual - the whole sweet/savory thing. Ketchup in bacon-cheese-and-ketchup is sort of interesting, but I don't think it's a weird combo again - as anyone who eats bacon cheeseburgers with ketchup would attest. And black pudding isn't exactly a freaky combo so much as just a strange food. ;) But you like fries in your shake, so that makes you Officially Strange.
