Subject: Strange Things You Eat

What do you enjoy eating that other say is really odd?

I have loads of 'strange' combinations.

Goose Liver Pate and Corned Beef sandwiches.
Peanut Butter, Turkey and Onion sandwiches.
Bratwurst Vindaloo.
Honey Mustard & Ketchup mixed together as a sauce.
Tuna & Prawn Pizza.

There's a story behind the pizza.

I was out in Greece one time, I forget when.. anyway I went on a bender and woke up the next day on the floor of this bar. The owner was grinning and he said "My friend, I make you great lunch for to make you feel good." 'Superb, what are we having?' "Pizza!" 'Great!'

So he brings out this pizza with tuna and prawns.. and some vegetables as well and I'm thinking, well it smells good.. let's try it. Goddam was that good!

I have a theory about picky eaters. I think if they had a vindaloo it would sort them out.

I assume you, like me, can't eat enough curry?

Right, take your average picky eater "Meeeehhhhaaahhh, it tastes funny." - Solution - Vindaloo will in fact scorch the taste buds from their mouth.

"Nuuurrgh, it looks weird." - Solution - One bite of a super hot vindaloo will in fact make their eyes water to the point where nothing is visible.

Baby Aspirin.. ( I actually overdosed on these when I was 5yrs old.. and had to have my stomach pumped)
Elmers Glue
Paste
Dry Dog Food
Gaines Burgers Dog Food (yep I ate one..)
Bakers Chocolate (only once.. blech.. unsweetened.. )
Ex Lax Chocolate Laxative
Ayds Diet Candys ( these were my grandma's and I ate nearly a whole box)
Raw Hamburger with Lowry's Seasoning salt

and even to this day I like Spaghetti -O's  and Chef Boyardee Ravioli straight out of the can ..

That's the way most people eat oysters, Alex.  If you order oysters on the half shell at a restaurant, that's how you'll get them....raw, with some hot sauce and lemons.

Its much more common here to see them fried(of course). Now if you get down closer to the coast, around Houston and Galveston, and yeah then it becomes a more normal thing. Here though its out of the ordinary.

My sister refuses to eat red or blue M&M's for the same reason.  She says they taste different.  One night, some friends of hers blindfolded her and did a taste test and she couldn't tell the difference in the colors, but she still refuses to eat them.  She's whacked for sure.

Up in Atlantic Canada, we have a delicacy that isn't too appealing to most visitors that make their way up here. It's called dulse, and it's actually a purple seaweed picked from the shores of the Bay of Fundy. A lot of Maritimers, including myself, love to snack on it. Some love to watch the face of first time testers taking their first taste. The reactions are priceless sometimes. If I had to describe it, it would probably taste like salty rubber to the first timer. Funny thing though. Even though I was born here, I have never liked lobster. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/pukeface.gif

Um, I'm a picky eater. But er, I like dipping fries in ice cream, esepecially Wendy's chocolate frosties. Ah, that's the best.

And another weird thing I do is blend my food together. Like, if there's mashed potatoes and gravy, corn/peas, and some sort of meat, I blend it all. Matt thinks it's gross.
