"Weird" favorite foods?

Ooh, sriracha!

I can only handle a little bit (it fries my mouth), but I like to get it on steak & cheese on flatbread, along with chipotle sauce - my favorite order at Subway (not weird, but just sharing something I enjoy

).

I am tempted into trying one of those pickle milkshakes.

Despite all the odd concoctions I've tried, a pickle milkshake still sounds awful.

Well Bailey grew up eating it, so it would be palatable for her.

Never underestimate gustation I guess.

Grilled peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches are pretty good
One time there weren't any banana's, but I had jalapenos... it was good.

I also like deep fried pickles and zucchini dipped in honey mustard, but that isn't really weird... is it?

At one point, one of my favorite foods was chicken noodle soup with margarine melted into it.

Other food combinations that I like that are a bit unusual are pickled(the little cocktail ones especially) onion sandwiches (butter or margarine spread thickly on the bread)sometimes also with tuna. I also like drinking some forms of vinegar straight.

Other than that, I'm pretty mundane in my likes of food combos, and I'm not a fan of anything really spicy or hot usually (there's exceptions but not many)

I want to try the grilled peanut butter, jalapeno, and bacon sandwich.

Also, that second sounds good.

Chicken noodle soup with margarine? Sounds a bit weird but I guess it fits the topic!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 8:49 pm

Just tried something new that I like - Peanut butter and honey burrito!

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:22 pm

Wow. I am quickly feeling that my suggestion isn't worthy of this thread. Which is sad, considering it's pretty much what started this.

So regarding peanut butter, anyone else ever have that in a milkshake? Made a handful of those at work, and tastes surprisingly good.

InDaZone1219 · Post by **InDaZone1219** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:44 pm

I've tried a chocolate and banana milkshake before...

I've also tried strawberry-chocolate milk due to being indecisive and curious. It had the appearance of chocolate milk with pink chunks of something that was presumably the strawberry syrup. It tasted bittersweet too, and I never finished it either due to the concoction's appearance and taste.

I tried the dual milk drink years before I tried the choco-banana milkshake.

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 3:03 pm

Chocolate banana milkshake? I was practically raised on the stuff. But as I grew older, I was surprised by how few people actually did that. They were usually one or the other. Yep, I was fortunate.

And that milk combo does indeed sound odd. Maybe it would have worked better if both flavorings were the same type, like both powders or both syrups? You know, odd how I love strawberries and chocolate but never mixed their flavors. And no, don't think having chocolate-covered strawberries counts for that (though still delicious).

Well, I take chicken nuggets and cook them with cheese over them. When both the nuggets and cheese are hot, I put them in a tortilla lined with creamy peanut butter and broken up chips (preferably Lays Classic). I then heat up hot dogs and place them inside the tortilla with the other ingredients. Pour a little lemonade over the food to give a sweet taste to it (enough to get the ingredients a little damp, but not make the tortilla soggy). Put cooked ground beef over it and heat the ingredients a little longer. I then take crushed red pepper, salt, parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper, and sprinkle it over the food. Wrap and eat.

For drinks, I usually take Monster, Mt Dew, Coke, Fanta (orange), and Mello Yellow, mix them together, then mix hot sauce in with it.

Kinda weird, but I LOVE it.

What I'm curious about is how you discovered that, Sergei.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:45 pm

Sounds like it has a lot to do with trial and error.

Or maybe it was 1am and all the lights were off, including the light inside the fridge.
once you lose the fridge light, you're screwed...

D-Rock wrote:So regarding peanut butter, anyone else ever have that in a milkshake?

I tried making one once, didn't turn out right. I used all-natural peanut butter, it separated and made the shake oily.

and speaking of peanut butter...
I like putting some in mashed potatoes with a little bit of sriracha sauce.

A little trial and error in making it better, but I just like combining foods together and seeing how they taste. This one just came out good

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:33 pm

Yeah, I've heard that some types of peanut butter can separate. We used JIF at work. I'm sure that that stuff is made to not separate.

I love to mix coca cola and pepsi, two rivaling soda brands.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:13 am

I would imagine that the Pepsi overpowers the Coca-Cola.

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:58 am

That sounds likely, I do find Pepsi sweeter.

Side question, I've read that Pepsi is more popular in the northern United States, while Coca-Cola is more popular in the south. Though I live in Texas, I prefer Pepsi. So anyone here that can correlate my readings?

I see. I do that occasionally, but it's never gone to that extent. Only with spices.

Has anybody tried a orange-pineapple juice?

Can't say that I have, though I might have if it was in a punch.

One drink that I liked to get at Jamba Juice was - and this is how I described it to them - 3/4 apple juice, 1/4 peach juice, and the rest watermelon juice (whatever space was left in the cup).

Yes, it wasn't the best combination, but it was good.

I tried cocoanut milk once, it was bitter and salty

Where is Rhode Island in terms of it being north or south? Because we all drink Coca-Cola here. At least in my house.

I think that's an available flavor of Tampico. Good stuff!

Amazee Dayzee wrote:Where is Rhode Island in terms of it being north or south? Because we all drink Coca-Cola here. At least in my house.

I'm pretty sure it would count as north. Northeast, specifically. Which is why I asked for correlation, as that's a bit easier to find than confirmation. Though in hindsight, I probably could have looked up sales reports if they publicize that.

Oh yeah, Jamba Juice. When I went to Chicago two months ago, we went there everyday. My favorite was the Mango Go Go.

In my house, I'll drink Pepsi or Coca-Cola, but my parents stray more towards Mt. Dew

Shake? Dude, I used to get them as malts at DQ all the time on the way back from church activity when I was younger. Wow, that was years ago.... *nostalgic*

I might try that.
As for the Pepsi vs Coke debate, I prefer Dr. Pepper.

Well then it looks like I am an enigma since I drink Coke more than Pepsi.

I like Lemon Fanta. Coca-Cola is all they have in Europe besides Orange Fanta and bubbly water. Literally sparkling water.

Cherry Fanta is.

Ew that stuff tastes like cough syrup.

InDaZone1219 · Post by **InDaZone1219** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:07 pm

And yet, Grape Fanta doesn't seem to taste like it at all. Grape flavored things are common (especially in cough syrup).

Heeeeelp!

Go to Europe. You can watch the sunlight sparkle off the bubbles in the water.

Joy : Went to this alley market thing but they were real stores and it was great. I bought some Macaroons and promptly ate them all.

I'm going off the fact that I've never seen it in America. Anywhere. Only in Europe.

I could never understand the whole Coca Cola vs. Pepsi thing. I'll drink both of them happily enough myself. Although I will drink more Coca Cola when I have problems with phlegm build up and I will drink Pepsi Max over Pepsi

Often if I have a meal at subway, i'll have a mixed drink composed of Solo, Coca Cola and Fanta.

Once one of my relatives made a dish comprised of rice, turkey spam, peanut butter, vegemite and soy sauce plus a few other things when he came down and surprised me when my cupboard was well, pretty bare, was actually okay-ish, if you ignored the aftertaste. I promptly went shopping the next day however.
