Strange taste

I was wondering if anyone else has those foods that you know are strange to eat, but like to eat it anyway?

It's a little embarrassing , but I really like the white part of watermelon, even though it's a pain to extract it from the peel (⌒▽⌒) ;;

    Yes, lots. I eat some food combinations that would have many people saying, "Eeeewwwwww."

    If you like it, who cares if it's a little different than most people eat? :)

    I love peanut butter toast with scrambled eggs. I also love green olives with egg salad. Yum.

    Yeah, my combinations get that sort of reaction too ! It's really interesting to see how everyone is so different when it comes to food

    Vegemite, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiches. It completely freaks people out but I love it.

    ​I also like watermelon rind. I have a recipe for sweet watermelon rind pickle, but I haven't made it in a couple years. I am planning on making a spicy curry watermelon rind pickle variant of my spicy curry lemon pickle recipe soon.

    When I cut up a watermelon, I cut both the fruit and the rind into small chunks to freeze for my frozen fruit protein smoothies, which I weigh and log separately. I use a vegetable peeler to take off the skin, which makes it very easy. I also dice up the rind for my salads; it gives a great crunch to them. I could not find raw watermelon rind in the Food Database, so I use "squash - summer, all varieties, raw" since I think those Calories and nutrients are close enough to the raw watermelon rind.

    I cant help but eat that little piece of lemon which comes along with your salad or sushi , nobody freaks out more than the waiter who finds the lemon to disappear haha

    Pickling it sounds like a genius idea, I've tried all sorts of other things and came to a conclusion that I liked mines plain :)

    Thank you for the tips !

    Unsure how unusual it is, but I love peanut butter on a burger

    I do this...LURVE them! But only occasionally since the acid is bad for your teeth.

    I love to sprinkle nutritional yeast on just about everything from bagels to broccoli to popcorn. It gives everything a really yummy, nutty, cheese-y flavor, and it has lots of vitamins and proteins that are good for people like me who don't eat a lot of meat!

    My parents and relatives just watch me sprinkle this mysterious yellow powder all over my food and are like "What the hell is that crap?" XD

    Marmite and banana sandwiches. B)

    Sounds foul but is absolutely scrummy as are cheese and jam sandwiches but they're fairly common.

    Marmite isn't available so I haven't tried it, but cheese and jam sounds delicious !

    Banana with a slice of kraft cheese around it. The cheese and banana are the same texture but it adds a little salt. Salt on watermelon is also really good, OP!
