I'm sitting here eating a pickle and onion sandwich, and the thought crossed my mind. Who else eats weird things together?

Just pickles and onions?  ???

I used to baby sit a little boy who would only eat mayonaise and mustard sandwiches. 

I like to dip my french fries and pizza in ranch dressing.  I also like to dip french fries in milk shake.  I guess that's pretty weird...

Sometimes I'll eat sliced bananas with a little bit of sugar covered in milk ( like cereal).  Other than that, the oddest combo I eat is dried beef sandwiches with cream cheese & pickles. :P

Cat: I put ketchup on eggs.  I also put buttermilk ranch dressing on almost everything. (Haven't tried it on pizza yet)  I like balogna, onion and mayo sandwiches.  I also eat hard boiled eggs, tuna fish and mayo with a tiny bit of mustard.  Dump that in a bowl and that's food only I will eat!! :)

Whenever I eat a can of Chef Boyardee Pasta, I often will sprinkle some Cheetos or Popcorn over it.  I've been doing that for over 20 years now

Sometimes I even dip my Peanut Butter sandwich in the pasta.  I don't know why I do that, but dang it just tastes so good

I used to dip my green beans in mustard.  I like Arby's horsey sauce with french fries, I eat ketchup on my scrambled eggs, I like to put chocolate syrup in my diet pepsi, and I love drinking milk with ice cubes in it.

I put pickles in my tuna
Peanut butter on green peppers and carrots
Gravy on my french fries
Caesar salad in my pita bread
oOo, and I chop up pickled beets for my salad as well as bolied eggs.

Like Erin, I drink milk with ice. I can't drink it any other way. 8)

Well, I use the Smart balance brand(which has no hydrogenated oils in it), which doesn't taste bad, but tastes kinda weird with peanut butter.

It's weird because it looks disgusting and that can be enough to put someone off from eating it.  Now if you're talking about buttered toast with peanut butter, that's different.  The butter/margarine is melted and not just glopped up on top of the peanut butter.

Margarine isn't glopped on top of peanut butter.  It is spread as a thin layer on the bread before putting the peanut butter on.

So in your opinion it is weird that's fine.  It still doesn't answer why the OP thought everyone else would think it was weird.

I know people who do also-but like you, I've never tried it. Not a big fan of butter.


I used to eat what my sister's dubbed an "Arfer special" (which was named after one of my sister's old boyfriends, Arthur who introduced it to us) peanut butter, jelly, and Fluffanutter-on 3 peices of bread.

Yesterday I had quite a strange Sunday roast; roast pork with stuffing, broccoli, carrots and wait for it... oven chips. We must have run out of potatoes so the worker who made the dinner decided to use chips instead. It was an enjoyable dinner though.

Two of my weird combos involve peanut butter. Peanut butter and jam on toast and a dip I made that consisted of peanut butter, tomato ketchup and Lea and Perrin's sauce.

my husband made a great marinade for the pork chops the other night. The marinade consisted of Pineapple juice, orange juice, rosemary, mustard, black pepper and Mrs Butterworth's syrup. he marinaded the pork chops, then baked them on a bed of sliced apples and pineapple rings.. DELICIOUS!!!

I just discovered this, and it is delicious.  Mix dry roasted peanuts with candy corn.  Eat 2 or 3 peanuts to every corn.  It tastes kind of like a salted nut roll, but better.
