Weird food combinations

[It's me 1]

How 'bout mayonaise and french fries YUCK!!!!! This is eaten in Germany

pretty common in the restaurants I worked at in Canada - nothing ike fresh, hot fries and a little ramekin of mayo to dip

Um..that is one of my faves, lol! Actually, I heard that chicken sauce from McDonald's really is just straight up mayo, so for those of you that use it on your fries, apparently there is no secret ingredient.

Cat's sandwich thread got me thinking about this.

So is there any odd food combinations that you enjoy? Anything that makes another person do a double take but you insist that it's awesome??

I have a few and they are...

Canned tuna, rice and lemon pepper:

its awesome and my favorite thing to eat but it grosses my husband out every time I eat it.

Pretzels and cream cheese:

Also very yummy but most people give me weird stares when I eat it.

Toast dipped in tomato juice:

If I order toast in a restaurant I usually dip it in tomato juice. It's really good.

bacon and peanut butter:

I don't eat bacon very often but when I do I like to put peanut butter on it. But I have heard this is quite common.

Maybe we'll find others who enjoy the same thing we do and learn that we're not so uncommon after all.

french fries and brown gravy... it's still a potato

Do you know what else is gross?? And there, all the Canadians are going to yell at me but I'm taking the risk

It's the brown sauce they give you at Swiss Chalet. That kind of tea sauce or I can't even define the taste of it. That doesn't taste good :)

But somehow I've never met one Canadian that doesn't like it

YEAH...finally someone agrees with me...I think that sauce they give you is absolutely disgusting! So now you know a Canada that doesn't like it!! LOL

I almost forgot this one. It's not a combo but its gross...

We used to live near the China town in the Gerrard area of T.O when I was a kid and I'd ask for these freeze dried shrimp in a can and eat them like chips. My mom used to ask me how I could eat them.

I remember at school once one of the kids let me try some and I loved it so I started getting it too.

Now that I look back on it I can see how it would be gross.

Bermudians tend to mash mayo and relish into beef pies (the kind that is basically beef stew in a pie crust). It looks absolutely vile but tastes really good.

THANK YOU WIS-CAN!!!!

What is the taste of the Swiss Chalet sauce?

It's like a moldy vinegarish-bbqish faded taste.

I try each time i go there but I cant define the taste and its so gross it makes me want to leave right away

I like their quesadilla though.

Mmmmm. I love chalet sauce. Except most of the restaurants now water down their sauce and make it taste more like dishwater than chalet sauce.

french fries and brown gravy... it's still a potato

That's definitely not a weird food combination for Canadians.

I don't like chalet sauce either - and I think the weird taste is cloves.

[chadlaure 2]

Oh maybe!!

THere is some kind of "tea" after taste...

i find the Swiss Chalet packet sauce to taste better then the stuff you get in the restaurant...

Now that I look back on it I can see how it would be gross.

I used to eat that at work here. They would smell up the fridge from time to time though. I can get them at the oriental grocery store nearby. Another is the dried squid which I loved until they stopped selling the kind I liked with the spicy dipping sauce. The shrimp though were really too salty.

One thing I've been wanting is fried scorpians. Though nowhere locally that I know of sells them. I know the Sience Musuem here has dried crickets, grasshoppers and meal worms you can eat in the gift shop. Those were actually good...

I consider myself to be pretty adventurous with my food, and even I find that nasty!!!!
