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.

Amen to the tuna wif mac n' cheese (I used peas rather than broccoli but still yum). I used to live on that stuff! Also a yum for Amilyn's suggestions: I adore hard boiled egg in my tuna salad, with relish or without, and just dill gives it a nice kick.

As for possibly gross and bizarre, my cousins and I used to take a Town House cracker, slap a bread and butter pickle slice on it, add ketchup, and put on another cracker to make teeny sandwiches. We thought it was great, but it made the grownups gag.

And then there's limp, salty (no, no, not that) asparagus from the can into the melted butter into my mouth. Mmmmm ...

My stepsisters ate their potato chips with ketchup. I can see the connection with french fries but it always made me gag

You mean like, pre-cooked asparagus from a can you buy at the supermarket, but unheated, or raw asparagus?

Either way, not a big fan of asparagus over here, but asparagus and butter isn't that uncommon, is it?
