Food combos | Pad Patter 3/28

Mac and cheese with ketchup is one combination I love that people think is weird.

 

Cottage cheese with sweet pepper jelly on top. Yum!

 

Chips/fries/cheetos (the puffy ones) with mustard

 

I grew up with a mix of peanut butter and mayonaise stirred together then spooned over bananas. I had no idea it was "strange" until someone else saw it!

 

My hubby always talks of peanut butter, mayo banana sandwiches that he ate as a child! Ewwww! Also, he talks of a banana, lettuce, mayo salad he used to eat. ?!?

Hmmm, I don't know of any weird combo that I eat. I'll have to think about it.

 

Just tell people you are a secret Canadian. We eat Kraft Dinner with ketchup always. And really, cheese, noodles, and tomato isn't that weird a combination. It's common in Italian food.

 

I do salt on watermelon. It brings out the sweet in watermelon.

We do tomato on grilled cheese sometimes. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Ketchup on Kraft Dinner. Gravy on French Fries. "Fry sauce" = mayo, ketchup, and a bit of pickle juice with french fries. Honey with fried chicken. Cream cheese & pineapple on Ritz crackers. Ketchup with grilled tuna/cheese sandwiches.

None of these feel strange to me, so I'm not sure if they are to anyone else?

Oh! I do like strawberry jam on Scrambled eggs. That one is probably weird. Nick likes ketchup or salsa on scrambled eggs.

 

Nothing too strange I don’t think, it’s hard enough finding food that I can have without adding strange food combinations!

 

I want to do this now! Sound delish!

I don't think I have any food eccentricities. Some listed sound pretty good to me, lol! Provolone with jam, sounds like a charcuterie board tea sandwich! I do like salsa on or near eggs, but don't like ketchup on them. I guess salsa might be a little weaker than ketchup in flavoring.

I do like ketchup and horseradish mixed together for burgers or fries. I think that was a Roy Rodgers thing a long time ago.

Maybe fresh hot soft pretzels smeared with a little cream cheese?? (Think bagel but pretzel flavor)

Salt and vinegar on fresh french fries?

 

Of course now that you're asking, I can't really think of anything. My mom used to make us cottage cheese with apple sauce, that doesn't seem weird to me, but I remember making that once after I got married and my hubby thought is was crazy. Lol.

 

Have to have salt on watermelon and cantaloupe. Vinegar on french fries, especially those shoestring fries from a french fry stand at a fair or festival. And, yeah, I'm one of those pineapple on pizza people.

The best peanut butter sandwich I ever had (and it isn't even on the restaurant menu any more ) was at a restaurant in Windermere, FL. It was roasted creamy peanut butter, homemade strawberry preserves, sliced bananas, fresh cut strawberries, chocolate shavings, and chopped roasted peanuts. Yep, I did a layout about it!

 

Not sure if I have any weird food combos or maybe I just don't think they are weird hehe. I will salt watermelon, love peanut butter and banana sandwiches (no mayo for me), love fruit spreads with cheese (especially jam and brie on a cracker), fried bologna sandwiches with cheese on toasted bread, a dill pickle wrapped in a cheese slice hehe, condiments on everything (ketchup on scrambled eggs, ranch or hot sauce on pizza, gravy galore hehe), regular sliced bread with butter and jam on top, plain potato chips on sandwiches (like deli meat, cheese, and chips on top).

 

The perfect peanut butter banana sandwich is made with Skippy Creamy PB topped with banana slices and then Smuckers Red Raspberry Preserves.

 

oh this Canadian can't even look at Mac n Cheese with ketchup on it......same with eggs. No no to ketchup!! LOL

 

I like making grilled cheese sandwiches with strawberry jam on them.

 

I like mayo on fries

Also do French onion dip on chicken wings
