Weird Food Preferences

[Wondering]

I think we all have foods or food combinations we like that other people think are weird or gross. So here's the place to talk about them.

For me: Tuna (with mayo or Miracle Whip [your preference]) and peanut butter sandwiches, nacho cheese Doritos and cottage cheese (use the cottage cheese as a dip!), curly fries and thousand island dressing as a dip.

What are your weird food preferences?

French fries and honey (I like the salty and sweet together).

Swedish pizzas can have some weird things on them, like bernaise and bananas... at the same time. I kind of like it though.

I'm growing generally fond of using fruit in cooking.

I have a recipe for chocolate cake that includes mayonnaise, does that count?

Peanut butter and salami sandwiches. On whole wheat bread only. Peanut butter on white bread tastes incredibly weird to me.

Cottage cheese Doritos doesn't sound weird at all to me, because I like cottage cheese and Chex mix. I still have to eat the cottage cheese with a spoon, though. But I like all the different shapes and textures of the Chex mix.

My parents thought I was weird for dunking pretzel sticks in peanut butter. But they didn't see anything weird about pretzels that were filled with peanut butter, so I'm pretty sure that one's on them.

Oatmeal with butter and salt or Parmesan cheese

I and my dad are huge into tomato, peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches; add bacon if you want protein.

I love pickles and ranch added to just about anything.

Cooked or dry?

Okay, that's just grits for people raised outside the South.

Garlic pappadums with Greek yoghurt.

Oatmeal with butter actually sounds good to me. I also like grits/polenta, so maybe that's why.

Polish grits I also do the same with barley

Seconding the non-weirdness of oats with hard cheeses. Sweet oatmeal cooked with milk + hard cheese + a good portion of EV olive oil = a very naughty treat. And loading porridges (not just the oatmeal kind) with butter is pretty common where I live.

You are in the Baltics, right? My family is Polish so it is not weird to us, but Americans go O_o because they do oatmeal and breakfast grains sweet

Yes. So that's how that (ahem) air force symbol ended up on your avatar!

As to the food, the idea is that you can't really spoil these dishes with more fat and/or cheese, regardless whether they're sweet or not (mostly sweet for me and my family – except for barley or buckwheat).

Never been to Sweden, but I like bananas and pineapples on my pizza. Though I'm mostly a fan of classic Margherita and California-style pepperoni, I do also like some weird ones like this, for example, https://pizzaovenradar.com/p/fabulous-fruit-pizza-pizza-oven-recipe/. It's made of berries and apricot jam mostly which makes pizza taste similar to a pie.
