Weird Things That You Do with Food

Vegemite and chocolate. And for that matter, chilli and chocolate.

That second one actually sounds pretty good. I put paprika on chocolate, so chili would just be the next logical step

Chili pepper and chocolate is a delicious combination. I've had chocolate bars and cocoa made with chili powder, and truffles with chili-chocolate filling, also a bit of chocolate in a sauce over an otherwise savory dish with chili pepper in it.

All delicious.

I once ate a block of chocolate with vegemite filling, and even had a chocolate and Vegemite sandwich.

I once had a chocolate truffle with Jalapeno filling, the person I was with when I ate it looked at me like I was nuts but it was really delicious.

I'd try chocolate and Vegemite if I knew where I could obtain Vegemite here, because now you've got me curious. Like I'd put it on toast with some Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread if you don't have that Down Under) or something.

Mmm, Vegemite and Nutella... we do indeed have the latter down here, I might try the toast thing too. Good luck getting yourself some Vegemite!

Thanks! I'll be sure and let you know if I find some.

I grill my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like you would grill a grilled cheese, and sometimes I make toast on the stovetop instead of in the toaster, and sometimes I eat pizza with bleu cheese dressing

My mom, a while back: "You put cinnamon in your sandwiches?!"

She says that it now makes perfect sense. Which is good, because I'm not stopping.

I tried pretzel sticks with nutella once.

Yum.

When I used to get frosty's from Wendy's I used to dip my french fries and my spicy chicken sandwich in the frosty.

I do the same thing with Blizzards from Dairy Queen.

I'm packing a spice rack and extra virgin olive oil to bring with me on vacation, so I can cook with all the local ingredients. I guess that's not what people typically bring on vacation.

Where are you going?

Prince Edward Island, Canada

Now that I think about, I do enjoy chocolate coated potaot chips as well.

What is it with mixing sweet and salty that works? As a kid I used to think they neutrlized each other, like hot and cold.

Nutella on Kit-Kats

Chocolate on chocolate? Yo dawg...

Can't go wrong with that!

Yogurt with peanut butter and (if we have it) chocolate chips and/or walnuts. I was very surprised to find that this isn't normal outside my family and that my mom invented it during pregnancy cravings ...

Peanut butter in oatmeal and ice cream too.

My dad's cooking breakfast quesadillas right now - I don't know how common those are outside my family. Fry some bacon, cook the egg and tortilla in the bacon grease ... no wonder I have slight weight problems. :P

Of course none of this reaches the heights of sandwich absurdity that my younger brother used to make a habit of. I remember trying to scrape off the plate something that even he hadn't finished: peanut butter, jelly, bologna, cheese, salt, pepper, cottage cheese ...

Breakfast in my family is whatever-the-hell's-in-the-fridge omelets. Throw a bunch of leftovers in a pan with some eggs, sprinkle some cheese on, and them Bam! you've got yourself an omelet.

My coworker brought Kraft singles and vanilla wafers (as in those stick-shaped cookies with the tangy vanilla cream-type stuff inside◊) to an office potluck. Why? Because he likes to cut the Kraft single into strips, put a cheese strip on top of a wafer, and then eat them both in the same bite like that.

He also said once, "you know, how you put the Goldfish crackers on macaroni and cheese?" or something to that effect. The reaction was a resounding "what?"

He's that kind of guy.

Korean barbecue pork jerky+Pringles+salami=one good, dry sandwich. Also, I've made a cubic Oreo, where you mush the filling of 3 Oreos together and put the chocolate bits into a cube shape around it. It doesn't hold its shape very well, but it's fun.

I've had celery soda. It wasn't bad.

Also, Jacques Pepin's [[blogs.kqed.org/essentialpepin/2011/09/18/black-bean-soup-with-bananas/ black bean soup... with bananas]]. A substitution in the meat department, and... it was okay.

An "Off the Menu" story got me trying Polaner All Fruit... on pizza. At best, it was merely edible.

• I prefer to dip my fries in ranch or BBQ instead of ketchup.

• I also use ranch to dip my pizza crusts in.

• If I make nachos, I use Bob Evans sausage instead of ground beef.

Here's a fun thing to do when you're mad:

• Get a crunchy snack, like potato chips or pretzels.
• Listen to scary music.
• Close your eyes, listen to the sound of the music and the crunching, and pretend that you are a beast devouring human bones.

Recipe For Mike K's Lunch Break Pizza Sandwich:

- Bring a small frozen pizza to work
- Prepare it in the break room microwave
- Try to cut it into pieces using the provided plastic silverware, which proves useless
- Fold pizza in half, hold it by the outer crust, and eat it that way

I try to bring my own butter knife to work when I bring pizza in, because it's neater that way, but I've used this method more than once.
