    Lemon juice and granulated sugar on pancakes

    Salsa on eggs

    Vegemite, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiches

    Orange juice on my cereal instead of milk

    This is how I was brought up to eat pancakes/crepes, and a common topping at creperies..it's delicious!

    I love it and never thought it was weird until I went to the USA and everyone freaked out!

    Haha.... Perhaps they are the weird ones :)

    My European friends freaked out at Fairy Bread. They couldn't understand the amazingness of 100s & 1000s on buttered white bread! :p

    Haahaa yeah, no one really gets fairy bread but us.
    I love fairy bread. Sprinkles don't taste the same here in Canada.

    What's fairy bread?

    White bread, buttered and sprinkled with 100s and 1000s (cake sprinkles).

    Burnt toast (very very burnt) with raw carrot!

    Used to love this as a kid, later found out I had a cousin in Scotland who did the same thing, neither of us had got it via a parent. Weird!

    This is similar to something we eat in Holland. A typical kids breakfast is bread, butter, and chocolate sprinkles. To celebrate new babies we eat buttered rusks with pink or blue cake sprinkles, depending on gender of the baby.

    I crave salted green apples after workouts

    I love salt on chilled grapefruit and green apples. Also pink salt on watermelon. I don't think it is weird at all :)

    Before this WOE, I used to like to mix baked beans and potato salad together and make a meal of it.

    tasty cheese sandwiches with jam (jello)
    steak must be well done.. if I order in a restaurant I say "Steak well done, brown on the outside, brown on the inside, no blood no pink no black please"
    ALL meat must be well done.
    I don't like meat that has been bastardized with any kind of sauce that you marinate with...I want it to taste like meat.
    I hate all deli meat
    Kiwifruit with the skin on
    Eggs can only be boiled,scrambled or poached.. hard like rubber, if I order out I ask for "eggs well done, yolk and whites hard, no slime nothing runny, inside yellow and dry..think rubber eggs please"
    I can't eat without drinking something ie: water..I feel sick after a few bites...my mother is the same.
    I put my toast in the fridge to make sure it is stone cold.
    I like my porridge to still have oat lumps in it.. my mother likes hers smooth as custard...she lives with us and is 90.
    I hate all berries(except if jam ((Jello)) or jelly)
    I don't like lumps in my jam, I avoid the lump bits.
    I don't like smooth yoghurt, I need lumps in it.
    I used to hate all nuts but have learned to like raw almonds and pistachios in small amounts (6)
    I like my vegemite spread on thick.
    I don't like to eat only one texture in a meal...I can do two, but prefer three, I mix the textures on my fork then eat.
    I don't like sweet french toast.. It is savoury with salt and pepper. My SO who is Canadian prefers them sweet with sugar.
    ThaT IS PROBABLY ENOUGH FOR NOW;)
    oops

    This is not strange in the UK. They serve this at the cantine at work.

    I like savoury french toast too. If you count ketchup as a savoury condiment despite the sugar content.

    I pull burgers apart and eat each ingredient individually. I remove the topping from the pizza and eat the bottom first them the topping, and I refuse to eat store made sandwiches.

    I like to torta (almost) all of my leftovers.

    I'd like to believe that there's 2 types of torta: One is where you put the ingredient/s in an omelette; the other is chopping up the ingredients into small/manageable pieces and then adding eggs into it, until you have a mix of scrambled eggs + what leftover ingredient you used.

    Depending on the ingredient used, I typically add 2-3 eggs in it then eat my torta while it's hot!

    As I was dipping my toast with peanut butter in my coffee, I was wondering if anyone else has any weird things they do with food that others would raise an eyebrow at.

    Another one for me is for when I eat chicken wings. I CLEAN them. Like to the bone. Crunchy bits and all. I don't always do that around others, as the crunching is a bit... off putting (my mother does it too, and man it's loud).

    Almost everything you mentioned is normal for a Caribbean/West Indian person. LOL. Bread (or casava) and PB dipped into hot chocolate/or coffee is great... You’d get scolded for leaving anything on the bones (and no one would flinch if you sucked them dry! LOL)... Dinner foods are what we consider appropriate breakfast foods... You’re not as weird of an eater as you think! 😄

    Also, I used to dip fries in milkshakes so the fry/ice cream combo seems normal to me too- but that stems from my American side! Hahaha

    I do the same with the chicken wings! Sometimes I'm guilty of sucking the marrow out of the bone.

    That sounds good to me too!

    I like a combination of mayo & ketchup with fries or on a sweet potato.

    I like white gravy, but prefer to have a little ketchup with it if possible. I put ketchup on green beans. I put ketchup on brown/pinto beans, any type of bean really.

    Aside from the above, I actually dislike ketchup (with fries etc).

    I like sour cream in almost anything...when my husband makes a very spicy stir fry or curry, I always put sour cream or cottage cheese in it to cool it down and honestly now I prefer it with those things mixed in.

    I used to eat cottage cheese on pot pies (the cheap beef or chicken Banquet brand) as a teen. I haven't had that in probably 20 years but it still sounds kind of good and I wouldn't want a pot pie without cottage cheese.

    I've started eating toast with coconut or cashew butter, and a fried egg on top. Sort of like a sandwich. For some reason the flavors just work.

    In Holland, everyone eats fries with mayo. Sometimes also with ketchup and peanut satay sauce too. The last combination is known as "patatjes oorlog" or "french fry war".

    peanut butter and banana on my toast. If I have extra calories throw on a slice or two of bacon.
    Bacon roasted jalapeno pancake

    English muffin with peanut butter, banana and honey. Now i want to add bacon next time!

    how do you make a bacon roasted jalapeno pancake? I'm not 100% sure what it is, but somehow it still sounds amazing!

    It's amazing. A place called Orphan's in midtown Sacramento has this savory pancake. The pancake has cheddar cheese in it which is good, but not essential. The batter is poured over chopped crispy bacon and roasted jalapeno slices. Just be sure if you don't want it too hot the peppers have to be cooked enough to be soft and seeds removed.

    Oh it is. The restaurant is in a neighborhood with restricted parking. I have driven around it for 1/2 hour before giving up and going home.

    I used to eat peanut butter and pimento cheese spread sandwiches with plain Doritos crushed in the middle on white bread. Still my favorite sandwich even though I haven’t had it in a few years.

    I love french toast with tomato ketchup. Going to make that this week because we will have white bread in the house for the Christmas stuffing.

    @acpgee Don't know if it's a Dutch thing but my old best friend had just come from Holland and her favorite (and one of mine once I tried it) snack was butter smeared on fresh bread with chocolate sprinkles. We had poffages (sp? little pancake things) and soft-boiled eggs in holders for breakfast all the time.
