i dont think its strange but peanut butter and salt, hot chinese mustard and saltines, nori spread with a thin layer of peanut butter and sprinkled with hot pepper flakes, cream o' wheat made with milk and lots of salt. hmm i think they may have a point about being addicted to salt, i'm seeing a trend. i also like a lite sprinkle of salt on chocolate cake :-S ithink i'm in trouble

watermelon and crackers

@huney - I, too, sprinkle salt over chocolate cake - my father used to do it many many years ago and got me hooked. In general, I quite fancy sweet & salty combos.

I've mentioned on another thread that I like to sprinkle my buttered toast with sea salt underneath a thin layer of orange marmalade, but frankly, I don't think it's odd at all. We've always eaten watermelon and feta in our house, but this is definitely not strange.

A slice of provolone on a thin slice of pound cake or a halved sweet roll. Preferably, slightly melted. With a swirl of ketchup, if it's melted (@bessfour - see, this is coming very close to ketchup on a cinnamon raisin bagel, because "a sweet roll" could easily be a cinnamon bun. I don't eat raisins though).

Speaking of "sweet & salty", grilled shrimp & sausage skewers basted with plum sauce are pure heaven.

Sometimes I like having a spoonful of salted sour cream with all kinds of stuff, from pancakes to waffles to quiches, which is sure to raise my husband's eyebrows (then again, he's lactose intolerant:-)).

Whole grain mustard on top of an omelette.

Again though, none of this seems odd to me:-).

Crumbled potato chips over vanilla ice cream.

It's a childhood favorite that I stilll crave from time to time.

My grandma used to put mayo & seas. salt on avocado slices. Talk about calories!

My grandfather, who was Pennsylvania Dutch (they like to have 7 sour and 7 sweet things on the table) taught me to eat sour pickles with chocolate cake. I still ear it every once in a while. And I eat macaroni and cheese sprinkled with sugar- don't know why, I just always have. And growing up, my Dad had to have bread and potatoes at every meal- so I still make spaghetti w/ meat sauce and a side of mashed potatoes and butter. So fattening, but SO good!

I like to dip Doritos Nacho Cheese chips into cream cheese. I got turned onto this by my godson's mother when she was pregnant. She even squeezed lemon on top of it, but Bitter had to draw the line there, word.

Rice and yellow mustard.

Chocolate dipped potato chips.

This will tell you how old I am: When Laverne and Shirley was on, I started drinking milk and Pepsi b/c Laverne did! It was actually really good, kinda like a bad version of a root beer float! I also went through a phase of dipping all French Fries in mayonnaise. Someone told me it was very European, so, naturally, I had to do it! I often wonder if I'm the only nerd who wanted to appear more sophisticated than my zip code and my years!

Syrup on my Eggs...Mmmm (I hear ya izatryt!)
Peanut Butter and Cheese Sandwiches
Peanut Butter on sliced cheese
Peanut Butter mixed in Oatmeal
Peanut Butter and syrup on pancakes
Cheese and Honey on crackers
Peanut Butter and Honey on Pound Cake
Fries dipped in Mayo or Sour Cream

I'm sure I'll come up with more later.. :) This is all for now!

I'm buying stock in Peanut Butter, right now!

Cottage cheese with yellow mustard mixed in.

When I eat shoyu ramen at home, I always make a tuna salad sandwich (mayo, canned tuna, crushed black pepper, a little basil, chopped dill pickles). Alternate bites. I love the taste combination. I often take a shower before eating ramen. Not sure why, but a fresh bowl of ramen after a bath/shower tastes the best!

I almost always make macaroni or potato salad when we make chili w/ rice. I love the flavor, cool creaminess of mayonnaise with chili. If I am too lazy to make the salad, I'll put a tablespoon of Kewpie mayo on the side. I'll take a tiny bit of mayo amd scoop some chili and rice. Chomp.

Oh wow...some of these are quite strange!

I like putting buffalo sauce in my chicken ramen noodle soup.

Chew on That

my wife puts cheese on her pancakes and eats ketchup with everthing. I was horrified one Christmass to watch her whole family put ketchup on prime rib! As for me I like penut butter banana and fried eg sandwiches.

@nhfoodie - I've been known to put cheese on my pancakes too:-). never ketchup on prime rib though!

As a child, I loved potato chip sandwiches on white bread with mayonnaise.
Yesterday I saw someone with an urge that, frankly, was disgusting. He came into a restaurant where they serve good southern food. Many of us Southerners like hot pepper & vinegar on our greens (turnips and collards). This many picked up the pepper/vinegar bottle from the table and took a sip.
Didn't mind that he liked it, but hated that he just drank from the bottle. Of course I told the server, who winced and moved the bottle after the man left.

Grilled cheese sandwiches with chocolate chips and basil (thank you, Giada!)

I always put vinegar on chili, pepper on cantaloupe, and, of course, salt on watermelon
.
I, too, love chocolate covered potato chips, but not the wavy chips, I want the regular thin chips. It's sweet, salty, crispy and crunchy all in one. (My four major food groups?)

I have always eaten french fries with mayo and catsup, in fact when I was young my friends and I would share a large platter of fries and 'frost' them (quite heavily, in fact) with mayo and catsup. Along with a soft drink, that might have been our main meal of the day as it was cheap and filling. Of course, now I settle for a half-dozen fries dipped in a bit of mayo and catsup. And THAT'S on a 'splurge' day. (I also like french fries with tartar sauce now, a friend showed me that one about 10 years ago.)

ALSO, I still eat peanut butter and banana sarnies, but NOT fried or even toasted, just good bread, good peanut butter and sliced bananas on top.YUM! (For a variation, Nutella works too.)

More still: Anchovies straight from the tin as a snack. Pickled herrings with sour cream. Pepsi over ice with liquid flavoured coffee creamer mixed in...try hazelnut or almond. My snacks are safe for the most part, from friends and family members. I am seldom asked to share...LOL!! And, if I don't have a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, a Hershey bar dipped in peanut butter is fine too. Or, try a piece of toast, or a toasted English muffin spread with peanut butter and grated Hershey bar on top, maybe nuked for just a few seconds to really soften the chocolate. That's my favourite breakfast when I'm splurging. All you need is a large glass of ice-cold milk to be in heaven.

I could go on, but I've already written a book. I just LOVE talking about food!! I get easily carried away. Sorry,

@Butrflygirly - yes! Cream cheese on tuna with sliced onions and cucumbers. I think I'd better go to the store before lunch - good thing it's right next to the gym!

@brooke29: That sounds great! But I want Strawberry Sauce on mine..Garlic makes everything great I think. :)

@cowprint: YAY! So glad you are a fan too. I like plain cream cheese or the veggie cream cheese on that sandwich...So yummy. I know what I am having tomorrow for lunch. :)

Which reminds me of some other combos:

~Plain Brownie: I will eat plain but do like to spread Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter on Top
~Plain Brownie: I like to spread Cream Cheese on top too (Plain or Cinnamon are good)

No one thought that the chocolate-dipped bacon on last week's revised "Dinner: Impossible" seemed a bit odd???

@Butrflygirly - cream cheese on a tuna sandwich
@cowprintrabbit - added cucumbers and onion.

I WANT!

raspberry jelly, cream cheese, and turkey on a bagel
bologna, butter and peanut butter sandwich
my friend and his brother would eat ketchup and swiss cheese sandwiches

Peanut Butter and Egg Sandwiches.

My boyfriend's mother also told me recently that her father used to put peanut butter on burgers...not sure about that one, but the egg combo DEFINITELY works...

Fries in a Frosty (I don't know how other chocolate milkshakes compare...)!
