What’s Your Favorite Weird Snack Combo?

Spaghetti-o's and grape juice. My brother and I used to eat this a lot before I was old enough to use the stove. And french fries with mayo, but I feel like that one is not so weird.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

I had never really heard of putting ranch on pizza as general practice (although I did see it in college). But the town I grew up in had a townie pizza joint which made really awesome honey mustard sauce and everyone would ask for some to go with their pizza. I personally love to dip pineapple pizza in it. (We love it so much that they started selling frozen pies with a small container of it for people to take back to college with them.)

Turf War: Boston's Best Ice Cream

I have to agree with all the praise for JP Licks, it's the best ice cream in the city. However, if you're willing to travel down to the suburbs, Hilliards House of Candy in Easton has unbelievable ice home made ice-cream which is made even better by the homemade treats that go into a lot of the flavors. The chewy caramel turtle soup (made with homemade caramel-nut "turtles") is outstanding as is the coffee brownie madness. And if you like over the top decadence, Swamp (which is not always available, it's a rotating special) is stuffed full of every chocolate candy it can hold.

Win Fuchsia Dunlop's 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper'

Any kind of crispy whole fish. If that's on the menu, and I can convince a few other people to share it with me, I'll get that every time.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!

What’s Your Favorite Weird Snack Combo?

I used to go to the LA Reader office on Friday mornings to collect my mail, then I'd stop in the chain drugstore nearby to pick up a piece of beef jerky, and a package of vanilla creme sandwich cookies, which I'd eat while driving to my day job. Not together, just back-to-back. Can't remember if I ate the jerky or the cookies first, nor why I thought those would make a good breakfast.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

I have NEVER heard of this culinary habit of ranch dressing on pizza until I read this in the Wash. Post:

It just seems like such an incongruous flavor or condiment to add to a pizza.

Nothing is better than Ham & Pineapple pizza dipped in Ranch.


I hated pizza until I tried it with ranch. Any type of pizza goes great with ranch really except Mexican style, I usually dip that in sour cream.

Let's see: banana with a slice of American cheese, breaking off small triangles of cheese for each bite. My absolute favorite when I was little, and I still love it. I think my mom learned it from Mister Rogers.
Also, baby carrots w/ketchup and tortilla chips on the side; raw red cabbage with yellow mustard; and my guilty coming home drunk secret: bowl of white rice with American cheese melted on top. I like American cheese on most anything...

Cottage cheese and maple syrup - since I was a kid! Maybe it was my mom's way of persuading me to eat cottage cheese - I guess it worked! Pretzels (the saltier, the better) and bananas - don't remember where I got this one! Potato chips with pineapple cream cheese spread on them - college days craziness, but sooooo yummy! I guess it's the salty-sweet thing. One of the guys I went to college with used to lift up the top crust of his apple pie and pour on some ketchup! I thought this was really wierd and was too afraid to try it, but my sister worked for the Heinz experimental / developmental kitchens at the time and they tried baking apple pies with ketchup, so maybe it was more popular than I thought. However, it never went anywhere, I guess other people were afraid, too!
Anyway, this same guy also ate Milkbones dog treats, so there you go!

a couple here for ya- first one is tuna salad (the old fashoined Mom made kind) with canned sliced pears and Lay's potato chips. You take a sturdy lookin chip, put a slice of canned pear and then a spoonful of tuna salad on top of it. Awesome. the other is a "pickle-sickle"- take dill pickle juice and pour it into ice cube trays and stick some kind of short skewer in it and freeze.
