This might not be all that weird, just different. As a child I refused to eat cereal and milk together. I might drink milk in a glass while eating a dry bowl of cereal, but they had to be separate. If someone poured milk over my cereal I would just sit there and go hungry. It had to do with texture; I love crunchy foods and to this day if I have to pick between a crunchy or soft snack, I always choose the former.

Those processed bologna squares with the little flecks of yellow cheese . *shudder*

Peanut butter & lettuce sandwiches. Butter & sugar on bread -- no cinnamon, just sugar. (But my neice does this, so maybe it's not so weird...). Spoonfuls of peanut butter & butter mixed. I would also suck on mustard packets, or just tip back the French's...

I really liked marshmallows. I nuked them with rice crispies for a snack. . . and lots of other marshmallow creations. I still like s'mores though.

this isn't odd food but odd for a little 3rd grader. in the cafeteria at lunch i made a deviled egg everyday and that would be my lunch - did that for about 4 months straight. I'd get a hardboiled egg from the salad bar, a squeeze of mayo from a mayo packet and then a dab of pickle relish from the salad bar - mix it all up - and viola!

My brother used to dip a stick of butter in sugar and eat the whole stick like a banana! He also favored peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.

Then as now, I had a pretty wide palate. I had the same milk/cereal problem--didn't like mooshy food. I used to eat plain parsley by the cupful. I used to sneak raw bacon--and in those days there *was* trichinosis around. Liked raw ground beef, too! To this day I adore steak tartare. My father was a total cheese head. I think we were the first people in Toledo, Ohio, to have a wheel of brie in the house--my father had it shipped to us from somewhere.

Peanut butter and mustard on pumpernickel bread. I notice that this peanut butter + atypical condiment thing is a common theme.

Another vote for dry cereal with a glass of milk on the side. Also, margarine and sugar, because I came from where butter was considered far too expensive and hard to spread.

Used to lick a finger and dip it into a box of dry jello, then lick the crystals off my finger. Everyone on swim team used to have bright red, orange or green index fingers depending on their preference. When I was very young, so I've been told, I had a penchant for black crayons as well.

i would break chicken bones with my teeth and suck the bone marrow out.

hamburgers with spaghetti marinara on top

Evaporated milk straight out of the can

My mom told me I used to love tiny little hot dogs that came in a jar. I have no memory of this whatsoever! But perhaps it explains my love of cold Tofu Pups right out of the package!

I liked mayo (not Miracle Whip) and iceburg lettuce sandwiches on white bread. Also butter on saltine crackers.

Used to dip banana into a can of Hersey's syrup now and then...
Also broke apart Hershey's chocolate bars and dipped them into peanut butter. I'm sensing a trend here...
As the saying goes, anything dipped in chocolate....

Hard uncooked spaghetti right from the package.
Saltine crackers with marshmallow fluff on top.
Eagle brand straight from the can.
Beanie Weenies- cold, straight out of the can.

Some things I ate as a kid are now cool foodie things today.. Horseradish spread on a sandwich with zuchinni slices and sharp cheese and roasted peppers, toasted under a plate with a 2 lb can on top. Pannini right? We used to call it Cast Iron grilled sandwich.
Grilled cheese with combination cheeses and various breads.
Peanut butter and choc melted in the microwave on ice cream.
Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce sandwiches, they have this everyplace now.
Rice krispy squares, pretzels, ritz crackers and practically everything dipped in chocolate. I spent hours dipping things in chocolate, which is now just passe.
Underwood deviled ham on rye with swiss cheese. I loved it.
Tahitian Treat soda? Oh like you didn't like it?
Jello with fruit cocktail mixed in. I could eat this for days.
PB&J on matzo.

To this day, I still slather my mom's Velveeta-based mac-n-cheese with a ton of Heinz ketchup.

I loved frozen peas still frozen. I'd probably still like them now, actually.
I also could be compelled to eat peanut butter and jelly, which I know isn't weird to Americans, but to me now it seems beyond bizarre - quite cloying and too rich without being complex or interesting.
I had more of a sweet tooth then, and I liked things like maple syrup, which I now hate. I would also eat nutella from the jar with a spoon, something I wouldn't dream of now.
Otherwise, I don't think anything I ate was especially weird, only that my taste was obviously different than it is now.

ketchup sandwiches. Wonderbread spread with ketchup. The thought makes me gag now :(

I drank those little cups of half and half (that they serve with coffee) like it was my job.

American cheese and mayo sandwiches with salt and pepper.

Vienna sausages. And Spam. Lots of canned meat.

Scrambled eggs with grape jelly and ketchup.

One of my favorites was white rice with sprinklings of soy sauce or Maggi. (I actually still eat this to this day!)

My husband prefers condensed milk on his white rice.

French fries dipped in chocolate milkshake. This was ideally done at Wendy's. Crushed potato chips in PB&J.
Most of what I did as a kid I still do, like mixing ketchup and tartar sauce for my fish and chips, or smashing ketchup and cream cheese into my scrambled eggs.
I was a pretty picky eater as a kid, so my current diet would thoroughly disgust the child me.

When I was very young my grandfather used to make me soft boiled eggs and put them in a glass with cut up pieces of toast and crumpled bacon. He would then mix it up with salt and pepper and he called it egg in a glass.

Mashed potatoes with a whole in the center overfilled with italian dressing... with baked beans on the side.

I used to love tongue. I didn't know it was an actual tongue, I just thought the name was a coincidence.

I used to eat cans of black olives.

And I liked my cereal soggy. Still do.

Wellred: vinaigrette because I am allergic to the creamy (mayo)

I used to suck on lemons all the time, usually while waiting for someone to cook a meal. As a kid I also loved butter and sugar whipped together in the mixer when someone was baking (rarely). Whenever I ate Kraft macaroni and cheese (the super-orange kind) I ALWAYS mixed tuna fish from the can into it.

I don't know how weird, but I would eat raw bacon. I also liked to drink tomato sauce from the can.

always have loved soggy cereal

carrots dipped in sour cream

I'm with lunapiercook on my mother's velveeta-based mac-n-cheese slathered with ketchup.

White bread, miracle whip and tomatoes with salt & pepper. Sometimes I left off the tomatoes.
