Unusual food combinations

[mary&tom 0]

Anybody else combine foods that make others look at you like you're strange?

Bacon and peanut butter sandwiches?

Spaghetti with maple syrup?

mustard in your mac and cheese?

I like to put Doritos inside my sandwich - makes it soft yet crunchy.

when i make macaroni and cheese from scratch, my recipe calls for a little mustard in the sauce.. nothing strange about that....

Girl I worked with swore by sardines (not in any sauce tho) with ginger cake (I know. lol)

I eat raw cauliflower with my salads cos its GORGEOUS! I don't see that as strange tho.

hey.. you will love it in the states.. most salad bars include raw cauliflower as a salad ingredient... you are perfectly normal! raw broccoli as well

lisa you a south beach fan?

Yeah faux everything on that diet. I even found a sugar cookie recipe today. Today I'm going to make the spaghetti squash. Pretty interesting.,...but they arent bad!

I use ketchup on EVERYTHINg.

I also make "pancakes" using eggs and ricotta cheese. (It's a South Beach thing) - strange, but delish.

for years I have made pancakes in the blender with eggs, cottage cheese and a little flour.. they are very nice... a bit like crepes. I need to check out the ricotta cheese recipe!

if you aren't on a diet - I wouldn't. They aren't THAT great but when you are on South Beach it's that or just plain eggs.

blech

if you want it

2 eggs

1/4 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 T of baking powder (or 1? don't remember)

Cinamon and nutmeg to taste.

Use whisk to make super smooth and light and fluffy.

Marmite and cottage cheese sandwiches, mmmmmm yummy!

What's a marmite? Sounds like a small rodent.

Marmite is a yeast extract and it's delicious! Cheese on toast with marmite is sooo good. It looks a bit like road tar.

Australians have vegemite instead of marmite, but marmite's better *hiding from the aussies*

I just checked out their website. You've got me curious enough to try it! Now I'm wondering where I'll be able to find it here in the states - especially in So. Cali.

ugh. marmite...well Stewart loves Vegemite. He tricked me into eating it once. I mean, it is acquired that's for sure. It's a yeast spread....ugh. Also you know how american SLATHER on the peanut butter or butter. Yeah don't so much try that with vegemite....small quantities are key.

marmite and vegemite are disgusting and should best be avoided - my husband has a "marmite knife" (much like we have a "cat food fork") so that I never have to sully my tastebuds with that flavor again.

Vegemite is also a yeast spread? Hmmm... how close or different do they taste from each other?

Okay I have to agree with Shon some weird stuff on here.

When I was pregnant I craved glazed donuts and sweet pickles together. I guess that is the weirdest combination I have.

Stewart swears vegemite is better than marmite - but I think aussies prefer one and brits prefer the other.

i'd say they are pretty similar.

Hee, it's funny Shon. I feel the same way about peanuts and peanut butter. When my dad made sandwiches for my siblings and I to take to lunch there would be some times when I couldn't eat them, because I could taste that he'd used the same knife that he'd used to make peanut butter sandwiches for my brother.

But I do quite like Marmite on toast every so often. For me, the trick is to use lots of butter and use the Marmite sparingly, otherwise I find it way too strong.
