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.

Oh, my god, you are, like, the only other human being EVER who eats jelly and scrambled eggs together. And I haven't eaten it in years and years, but I used to be able to gross out my brother at the table when I was a kid.

Also? Velveeta cheese on top of peanut butter and jelly. Laid on top of the top slice, not inside the sandwich. Another delicacy from the same era -- probably haven't had it in 20 years, but I remember it fondly.

/me stares thoughtfully at refrigerator....

BTW? Tunafish in macaroni and cheese is utterly normal. It's dinner, at least once a week. Better if you throw in a little broccoli, too.

Jelly Omlette! No one ever believes me! And I couldn't gross my brother out with it because he ate them too.

Ew. :D

Yeah. I'm eating tunafish in my mac-and-cheese even now. It had never even occurred to me that people might find that odd. People who don't eat tuna might find it unpleasant, sure, but what's so weird about tuna mac? :-) It's like Tuna Helper, only cheesier. I've never added broccoli, although if I had a scallion or two I'd chop them in for a little kick of green...

I don't think I eat many weird food combinations. E insists on combining liverwurst and pickles in sandwiches, which -- just eww. I like them both individually, but *together*? Feh.

And I still have to maintain that anything combining eggs and jelly is just plain wrong.

Oh, and blueberry bagels? Also an abomination. But now I'm off on a tangent...
