Ugh! I could never imagine eating that-you are one brave soul :)

I loooooove cottage cheese. I could eat a whole container in one sitting. And fried calamari-sooooo yummy!

Let me employ the Pittsburgh-to-English translator: Jumbo is bologna. Or baloney. Or however you want to spell it :)

Took me months of living in Pittsburgh to figure that out. When I first heard it, I was like "Jumbo what?"

LOL, Carlie! I didn't even realize that I had written "jumbo" until I read your post. Once a 'burger, always a 'burger I guess! :)

Can I have my $5? I do this too, but only on red Jell-o. It's so much yummier than plain Jell-o! :D

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who eats some of these things! I do the mayo and ketchup on fries, too, as well as fried bologna sandwiches, cottage cheese, and brussels sprouts. I also like dipping fries into Frosty's from Wendy's, liverwurst sandwiches with Gulden's mustard, and creamed chipped beef on toast. I also crave Spaghetti-O's or Chef Boyardee occasionally, which most people like, but my roommate in college thought it was the most disgusting thing ever. mmmm...this makes me want to go out and eat some of this crazy stuff right now!

Okay well I am a mayo freak!

I put mayo on just about everything....
hamburgers
hot dogs
fries
corn
baked potato
chicken nuggets

those are the only ones i can think of right now, but im trying to cut back since too much mayo is really bad for you.

I also love to eat scrambled eggs with fries! When i was younger i used to love spreading frosting over white bread!

Hey, I was a lemon eater as a kid too! :D I still remember being in the 7th grade eating whole lemons in class. I also remember liking to put hot sauce on salt and vinegar potato chips during that same time period - go figure.

For the most part though, I am a rather picky eater

Nothing real exotic for me:

Lima beans with ketchup...yummy!
Black olives straight from the can

can't think of anything else...

Ok, wierd stuff I like:
honey and butter on white or French bread (some people find this wierd, but it's so yummy!)
salted tomato slices and butter on white bread
herring
sardines w/ pickles and rye bread
foie gras
the aforementioned buttermilk
lox & sushi (not that wierd, IMHO)

and the grossest of them all...
When I was a kid, I used to love peanut butter, butter, and mayo sandwiches. If the taste doesn't make you cringe, the fat content will!

This morning on Regis & Kelli they were talking about fried Oreos! Anyone ever try anything like that?

I've heard of fried Oreos, fried Snickers, and fried Twinkies...I wanna try them all!!!!!

Are you thinking of a butterscotch Dum-Dum? I have NEVER seen buttermilk ones...

As for the mayo and ketchup... it's true... In the West it is sold at McDonald's as "Fry Sauce." I think it is absolutely foul but my friends love it!

My weird habit involves mixing sauces though... I like to take different condiments and spices and make my own crazy dipping sauces. Ketchup and honey are SO good together!

We have fried pickles in VA.

I thought steak was an okay food to like but guess not. Just kidding. ;)

Let's see.....

Sushi: I introduced my husband to it. He predicted word for word what his mother would say if I ever mentioned it (accurately, I might add): "How could you STAND to eat that RAW FISH???" She won't even eat a steak unless it's charred beyond recognition :rolleyes:

Medium-rare steak and hamburgers: Never thought this might disturb people until I met my mother-in-law (see above)

Lox: I'm Jewish, it goes with the territory :) Same goes for gefilte fish.

I don't "hate" to admit I love any of these foods, but I grant they will turn the occasional stomach :)

Here's a food story I just thought I'd interject...

When my daughters went up to my parents' to spend a week during the summer, apparently my mom served them cauliflower at dinner and they looked it and said to her, "What IS this???"

So I got an irate call from my mom yipping because my children had never seen cauliflower! I will not apologize for not serving something that looks like a brain, darnit!

gross foods
 
Oh man.

I LOVE raw pie dough. Cookie dough is good to but something about pie dough... I've loved it since I was a kid.

Also, some of you are into your mayo, I'm all about the ranch dressing. I put it on EVERYTHING.

In fact, I just got back from Burger King and I'm dipping my fries in ranch dressing right now. :)

Anybody ever eat raw potatoes with a little salt? Pretty tasty!
