i think ketchup is the common denominator in a lot of these answers... a universal condiment...

speaking of which, mine is tomatoes dipped in ketchup... the combination of the real thing with it's imposter is so tasty

My favorite is pickles and cinnamon applesauce. It works best if you have whole dill pickles. Bite the end off, then spoon some cinnamon applesauce onto the top of the pickle and eat. I add more applesauce after each bite.

First, it's a good thing I don't have to use proper grammatical rules here, because I'm not going to. I love mac and cheese with tuna and peas. Rice, tuna and frozen peas works well...of course it needs a sprinkling of cheese. French fries with honey...yum! Bananas with sour cream?...that is something I might enjoy. I can see the whole M&M and goldfish cracker thing working...too bad I can't eat goldfish anymore! Before I found gluten-free crackers and bread I liked, I would put the following on plain rice cakes...not all mixed together!...nutella, brown sugar and cinnamon swirl cream cheese, any flavor jelly or jam, peanut butter, a slice of cheese... Applesauce goes with everything. Sausage with maple syrup is a combination found everywhere. Frozen sausage with maple syrup is out there, the McGriddle, etc. Oh man, I used to love the McGriddle! Banana pudding with chocolate sprinkles...I never got into the peanut butter and mayo sandwich, but mayo and cheese work great between two slices of bread. This thread is quite interesting, and I look forward to reading more.

When I was younger, there were some candy shops that sold chocolate-covered potato chips. They were absolutely yummy!

LOL I thought I was the only one that dipped french fries in my Frostys -- milkshakes and sundaes too. Yay!!!

When I went to McDonald's as a kid, I used to throw 4-5 french fries in my saimin* and fish them out later. They were soggy, but for whatever reason, I loved it.
* Hawaiian version of ramen except in a fish-based broth, with fishcake, green onions, and char siu on top.

@Chisai - I introduced the mayo+soy sauce as asparagus dip to my husband years ago and he LOVES it. He uses it with fish sticks, french fries, anything you can think of.

I always...always...dip my french fries in mayo-ketchup-mustard (1/2 mayo, 1/3 ketchup, 1/6 mustard), unless I'm at a Greek place, then I dip them in the tzatziki. Replace "mayo" with Kewpie mayo when I am at home.

Growing up, I used to dip my fries in honey, mainly because it was leftover from the fried chicken. I would also dab brine from pickled jalapenos on my fried chicken and eat it with whole jalapenos. I was also one of those kids who loved digging for and eating marrow. What a mess!

French onion dip lightly spread on fresh sour dough bread and sour cream and onion potato chips in the middle.

Best snack - candy corn and salted peanuts
Toasted bagels with cottage cheese and applesauce on top.
Speaking of applesauce, one of my friends just loves to dip potato chips in applesauce!

my sisters and I loved to get a piping hot egg roll. cut it in half and fill each "cup" with Texas Pete hot sauce and eat it over the sink. Hot, greasy, crunchy, making my mouth water in memory.

I like to eat fried chicken with hot sauce, but one day I was out of hot sauce, so I ate it with some kimchi. Now it's something I crave...a lot.

Husband likes Saltines with a thin layer of peanut butter, topped with a thin layer of mayo, topped with a thin layer of grated horseradish. gross.

X-bf used to melt a slice of american cheese in the broth of his Sapporo Ichiban beef flavored ramen. He made it for me when we were both a little hungover in college and I thought I was going to barf.

@amyscoop - my dad introduced me to bananas and sour cream when I was a kid. I think it was actually pretty big in ethnically eastern European households. Oh, it's even better with a drizzle of maple syrup.

And I too love mac and cheese with peas or broccolli, which I also grew up with.

The thing my friends here think I'm really weird for is a hometown favorite - mayo mixed with shoyu and used as a tip for broccoli, though I've expanded to include grape tomatoes. It's SO good, but I think something one kinda has to grow up with.

Leftover rice -- particularly if it was cooked with chicken stock, saffron, or both -- reheated and topped with a dollop of cottage cheese.

Or, that same leftover rice, reheated, with some frozen peas mixed in.

Or, a tomato and mayo sandwich on white bread.

I've never eaten ketchup, so as a child, I dipped my French fries in syrup. This was the days before burger joints served breakfast, so the response to a kid asking "Can I have some syrup?" was never positive.

Also, I didn't like PB&J, so I would mix PB & syrup, then spread it on crackers...cause I didn't like sliced bread. (I know...I was a weird kid.)

Banana and mayo on Wonder bread. My family were Democrats, but also liked peanut butter on celery. Cream cheese is good on celery, too. Wait! Now that I think about it, my grandmother was Republican, and she's the one who fed me, so, srhcb, you may be right. She used to put milk, sugar and a little coffee on biscuits, when I would beg for the forbidden coffee. She called it 'coffee soup', and I loved it. Sweet gherkins and any kind of cheese, especially sharp cheddar. Peanut butter and bacon on Wonder, sometimes with apple butter. Bacon and apple butter are yummy together. So is bacon, eggs and corn. Cucumbers on hot buttered biscuits. Pretzels and milk, especially Rold Gold mini's. Potato chips or FF dipped in chocolate ice cream. Sweet pickle relish and hot peppers on a sub. I could go on and on, but it can get boring. I always thought these things were normal, till I learned most people found them revolting. Especially bananas and mayo, but some fruit dressings are mayo based, so it still seems normal to me. Gotta try the bananas and sour cream, which sounds better.

@ sheldel: "...peanut butter & celery leaves..."

Growing up, I always thought peanut butter on celery (w/leaves) was universal. Later on I discovered it was only common in Republican households.

My favourite has got to be Walkers ready salted( plain) crisps(chips, to you Americans/Aussies/whatever) and chocolate, preferably Kit-Kat or Yorkie bars...and yes...together!

Another is boil up some basmati rice. Once it's cooked stir in some curry powder, and cold beans! Great for when you're really hungry but dont want to do much cooking. It's also reeeeeaally filling, so beware!( Does anyone else do this?)

Something my friend from school once suggested to me is cold turkey dipped in melted dark chocolate...havn't gotten around to trying it yet though.

Pickles and cheese. The snack that we always ate before dinner if we were hungry was Mt. Olive baby dills, sliced in half, with a slice of extra sharp Kraft cheddar cheese on top. Perfection.
