Odd Foods You Enjoy

[Mr. SmartyPants]

What are some odd foods you enjoy? They could be foods that many people don't eat, a food combination you've made up, or something that sounds nasty that you actually like. Stuff like that

for me, it'd be tuna staight from the can. I just had it today ^^

[Saint Kevin]

This is totally a goof-off thread IMO, but I'll take the extra post count since I lurk all the time and need a little boost to mine.

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches - Mmm. Although I have yet to make a fried version...maybe some day.

Hummus - Admittedly weird to most American palettes, but it's great with warm pita bread.

Sushi - probably not that odd any more (especially in this forum) but some I know (especially my dad) can't understand how I can eat the stuff.

Pho - not that weird really, just most people haven't heard of it. It's a Vietnamese soup bowl, sometimes in weird-sounding flavors like "fish ball" and "tendon."

Keishka - A Polish Sausage consisting of various organs ground with barley and stuffed into an intestine casing. Great with ketchup.

[Technomancer]

I sometimes get some odd looks for some of my own favourites:

blood pudding
steak & kidney pie
kippers (or fish for breakfast in general)
gypsy bacon- bacon covered in paprika (you have to slice it yourself).
pickeled herring

[Debitt]

preserved egg - otherwise known as "thousand yer old egg" =3 Good stuff right there. And, as one side of my family has lived in Hawaii since WWII, I enjoy Spam as well.

[White Raven]

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches. Love them.

[soul alive]

peanut butter and applesauce sandwiches; turkey, cheese, and pepperoni sandwiches; and my favorite - fish tacos.

great. now i'm hungry. *goes off in search of food*

[The Last Bard]

I don't really find this to be an odd food, but I'm yet to find someone to like it...
Oysters. Anyone else like Oysters or other seafood? (Jeez...forget that question, I might get too many replys and this goes off topic)

I like them.

Seafood, yes. Oysters no. I have to serve them all the time and quite frankly they gross me out in a way few things can. Even cooked, they taste like fried rubber to me. But I do love other kinds of seafood, which is good considering I'm employed by a seafood restaraunt. ^^;;

As for weird foods I enjoy...peanut butter and cream cheese sandwhiches. My best friend in high school used to make one for me every morning. Oh man, they were awesome.

Also, bean dip and mayonaise. I know that grosses most of you out, but Mom made it for me as a child and I dunno, I grew to like it.

I also love fried okra--some great stuff right there. I can't think of anything else odd but I'm sure I have some others...

[Emanku]

I know a really cool resteraunt in Banff, Alberta that serves all kinds of crazy but deliscious foods in a fondue style. It's really expensive but a lot of fun.

Here's the stuff I can remember them serving:
Venison
Boar
Buffalo
Bear
Frog Legs
Rattlesnake
Alligator
Shark

Can't remember any more . . .
I think the place had 'Bear' in the name but it's been a while since I've gone there.

By the way . . . alligator meat RULES!

[Photosoph]

Weird foods... weird foods... *thinks* Well, here's ones I eat somewhat regularly. Dunno how odd they are but here goes:

Lime Marmalade: -it's addictive I tell you!!!!!
Try sticky rice+milk+either maple syrup or honey; mix it all in a cup. Add nuts or whatever. You'll need about a tablespoon of honey/Msyrup. You can always miss out the milk and honey and add sweet yoghurt instead, but I like it the first way better.
Peanut Butter+Banana sandwiches
Mussels... I liked them. Once. Then I had to eat them for more than a week straight. *gags* I can't stand steamed mussels now. I'll only gulp them down if there's something to disguise the taste -e.g vinegar
Firm steak. Most people seem to like it tender. ...I like it when you have to have to hack into it to tear it apart. I think that it's something to do with eating a majorly rare steak, and watching red stuff come out of it whenever I pressed my fork down on the top...

Nah, I don't eat really weird stuff... mostly 'cause I haven't had the chance. Generally I eat anything put on my plate -grr, parents. *shakes fist at ceiling* they brought me up that way.

I'd like the chance to try some odd stuff, tho: like chocolate grasshoppers or something. It'd make a nice change.

[indyrocker]

ketchup with just about anything and for you aussies out there yes that means pot pies as well.

[Cognitive Gear]

Hm... odd food.... I personally wouldn't consider anything I eat wierd. But I guees people consider penut butter and bannanna sandwiches wierd. Sushi too. Well, I like to eat ice cream in the snow, does that count as wierd?

[LorentzForce]

Bun-de-gi.

I believe it's harvested moth cocoons in sauce, minus the cocoon shell. Yes, it's canned food, like canned tuna.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Um.. pie floater (South Australian favourite). Its a meat pie, submerged upside down in a deep green pea soup with lots of sauce. Not pretty. I like peas but pie floaters are just... wrong on so many levels!
I like buttered bread with honey and thin slices of cheese on top. Another is taihinee with honey on bread. Also buttered bread with vegemite and melted cheese slices is delicious.

[bigsleepj]

A lot of people on-line seem distressed that I like eating cheese & ketchup on buttered toast. I don't know why.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

i like oysters!

[Maledicte]

This isn't really food, but I enjoy eating Oreos and then brushing my teeth immediatly afterward. I love the creamy-minty-foamy-chocolatey taste it makes.....

[Ingemar]

Hmmm.

All I can think of is raw Ramen noodles (with the seasoning sprinkled on top). The cheaper, the better. (You're gonna be consuming that high-molarity MSG goodness in the water anyway, so eating it dry shouldn't make a difference).

I once made spaghetti and used canned chili as "sauce."

[Stephen]

Mayo on a bagel hot from the toaster. Not sure why I love it but I do.

aww thats so yummy

i GOTTA try a peanut butter pickle sandwhich soon

[Yojimbo]

Any kind of seafood period. If it comes out of the water I will eat it without a second thought, provided it's been cleaned and whatnot of course. Baby octopus, oysters, scallops, calamari, salmon eggs, kippers, anchovies, mussels, any kind of fish, and even fish eyes. I even ate some minnows for a bet one time and I did cook them a little. Hey I had to keep my reputation what can I say.

Ehh don't many wierd tastes besides seafood I guess.

[oro!]

I like to eat onion...that doesn't sound weird until you realize I like to eat it at every meal raw, with bites out of it( a whole one), fried, cut up, onion rings, in sandwiches, etc. I jsut can't get enough of it! That and hot sauce. I like to pour hot sauce on everything(minus cereal). Maybe i SHOULD try it in cereal. When i lived overseas, i used to eat raw flying termites.
Kay: question, why don't they have meat pies in the states like in Britain? Those are so good!
Oysters, me likes. Just about any seafood.
Also venison and gator/croc jerky/kebabs
But, if you hunt, deer isn't that special, u know?

[shadowblade]

Hmm, weird food huh? Well, my friends tell me that putting doritos in turkey sandwiches and putting fries in hamburgers are weird, but I really don't see anything wrong with it. Now this is weird - mixing ketchup, milk, orange juice, cream soda, salt, pepper, pixie sticks, tobasco sauce, and sugar (I forget the rest of the stuff in that drink). That tasted kinda strange, but it really didn't taste as bad as it may sound. Lol.

[Locke]

Pho!

and macaroni and cheese ramen, cant beat that.

[plutogrl03]

My friends in high school always thought it was weird that I would put ketchup or barbeque sauce on the school's mashed potatoes. Those things had no flavor on their own. Plus, I figure a potato is a potato.

[Kireihana]

Cookie dough and cake batter!! Basically anything derived from raw eggs and used to make goodies. I'm probably immune to salmonella now. XD

I don't do this anymore, but when I was little I used to delight in a concoction my family dubbed "Mayonnaise-on-Bread" I should try it again....

But my aunt is actually the pioneer of weird foods in my family. She introduced us to peanut-butter-and-honey sandwiches, and jelly-and-cream-cheese sandwiches. Both are good. ^.~

[White Raven]

aww thats so yummy

i GOTTA try a pickle sandwhich soon

YES if you like pickles you will love it. I also like them with (peanut butter Captain Crunch.) *Runs off to get a pickle*

[Ashley]

Thought of three more--bacon and syrup, biscuits and honey, and mashed potatoes + meatloaf + ketcup. I think I was like the only kid on Earth that actually LIKED meatloaf.

I love meatloaf. I mix brown sugar and ketchup together, and put it in the microwave for a bit. And tada the best meatloaf sauce ever.
