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 love my eggs over easy so I can dip my toast in them. For some people this is nausea-inducing, although it's not really uncommon.

finabair is totally grossed out by the fact that I put hard boiled eggs in my tuna fish salad. I think this is also normal. I used to put sweet relish in it as well, but have found I like it just salty best.

I like to put peas in my mashed potatoes. Again, I don't think this is terribly out of the ordinary, but many others seem to, while another group puts corn in the mashed potatoes (I think that's just...ew, I mean, starch-on-starch!).

I like to stir up cheap chocolate ice cream and use it as "dip" with frozen Thin Mints as the "chips". I think this is more creative than weird, and think that almost anyone who eats mint who tried it would be...pleased.

My guess is that it's not the combination that grosses people out so much as that runny yolk can get to some people.

Hard-boiled eggs in tuna salad, huh? I guess that's not too weird - it's like combining the tuna salad and egg salad.

Right. I think it's runny yolk in anything, to which I say cookie dough!!!! *grin*

I think this is actually fairly common...at least somewhere. And it's very good even if finabair can't even abide the smell although she likes both tuna salad and egg salad. I don't, however, like onion or celery in my tuna salad--I don't want it to crunch.

There's always Sam Beckett and the jello and onions.

But "runny" and "raw" are two different things. Cookie dough doesn't drip. It's a solidity thing.

Hee! I wondered at the time if that was based on someone's actual pregnancy craving experience.
