- Watermelon and feta cheese.
- Greek yogurt and green grapes. May not sound weird, but to people around me it is because I grew up on Greek yogurt as a savory food.
- My sandwiches are usually very minimal. Like only cheese and bread, Greek yogurt and bread, hummus and bread...etc. Used to add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to almost all of my sandwiches pressing it into the bread, but those days are gone.
- When I was a child I used to really love butter and sugar or butter and salt sandwiches. A sandwich, with only butter and sugar or salt.
- I did not grow up eating cold cereals as a child, but I made my own before even knowing they existed. I used to tear a bagel into pieces, add some raisins, then drown it in milk.
- Chips and buttermilk. I'd have a cup of buttermilk and sip every now and then while eating potato chips.
- Rice and yogurt mixed together. I can't eat a pilaf without it, but I even have it with plain steamed rice with no additional ingredients.
- Most people don't like soggy cold cereal. I love it.
- Tomato juice with pizza, burger or any sandwich.
- Raw vegetables, the way they are. No chopping or additional ingredients necessary. This includes things like cauliflower, cabbage and and lettuce. Kids used to make fun of me for bringing a head of lettuce to school and peeling the leaves one by one as an after lunch snack, or a tomato and eating it like an apple.
- Pearled barley with honey, microwaved
- Apple slices dipped in cheese sauce.
LOVE watermelon with feta/goat cheese. I also love just bread butter and salt. Preferably crusty artisan bread but any will do!0 -

Apple/apple pie and cheddar cheese is a classic combination too, although cheese sauce I'm not sure about.
I adore raw cabbage (also plain kimchi and anything pickled) and my sister eats raw spinach. I like raw spinach in a salad, of course, but don't find just the leaves interesting.
Another pepperoncini thing for me is it with cheese, so I clearly have to try the cream cheese combination fishshark mentioned.
its soo good! Im eating it right now actually!0 -
Mine are mostly sandwich-related. Some of these are weirder than others...
Peanut butter and onion or PB/bacon sandwiches - my hubby got me into that, and the PB/onion combination sounded awful but he eventually persuaded me to try a bite. I was hooked!
Chip butties! (Proper British chips (chunky fries) in a sandwich.) Also, bacon butties with HP sauce.
Crisp sandwiches - crisps (potato chips) in a sandwich, either on their own or just added to whatever else is already in the sandwich.
Fried egg sandwiches.
Banana and honey sandwiches.
Like amusedmonkey, I also used to have sugar sandwiches sometimes. (And I have also eaten tomatoes like apples. )
A friend of mine used to make sandwiches with cheese and jam/jelly - said it was a 'sweet & sour' kind of taste, but I tried it and it didn't appeal to me!
My hubby likes to have bread with soup, but will tear it up and stir it into the soup to make it soggy. I'll dip mine, but I hate it going soggy like that!
As a child I used to love getting a glass of milk and a slice or two of fresh bread - I'd tear off a piece of bread, scrunch it up to make a firm 'pellet', then dunk it in the milk before eating it. I have no idea why!
Like someone else mentioned above, almost anything can go in a sandwich... my dad was especially fond of stuffing any leftovers between two slices of bread!
Warm Yorkshire pudding with ice cream - just try it, it is fabulous! The little mini Yorkshires are perfect, you can sit a little scoop of ice cream in them and drizzle a bit of sauce on top. Yum!

Bologna/summer sausage and yogurt. Really like the combination. Dunno why, I have always liked it since I was a kid.0
-
Sicilian orange, olive, and onion salad with vinaigrette; peanut butter and bacon sandwiches (just had one not long ago). Burgers with slaw on them, Southern style. Shrimp and grits.0
-
@SueSueDio , nothing weird about a fried egg sandwich. I love egg sandwiches (and burritos). Any combination of peanut butter, banana and honey as a sandwich is delicious. I used to put potato chips on tuna sandwiches often. As a kid, I used to eat lettuce sandwiches, just lettuce, Miracle Whip and lots of salt. This last one was usually when groceries were in short supply in the house.2

Beerios. It's exactly what it sounds like. Honey nut with something hoppy is the best.1
-
Cous cous with lemon and soy sauce0
-
Bagels with either mustard or pizza sauce.0
-
As a kid: 1) apple cake and mustard, 2) plain chips drenched in lowry's seasoning salt and vinegar0

Ugh, not Beer-eal! I got convinced by someone it was good and tried it during a night of imbibing. But it was not good. Haven't tried it since, lol0 -
Pizza dipped in ranch dressing. So good you can feel your heart slow down.2

My daughter dips her french fries into her chocolate milkshake. I used to make sandwiches from baked beans. If the beans were heated, the sandwich was open-faced. If the beans were cold, it was just a sandwich.0
-
I make poached eggs, then melt cheddar cheese on them and eat them with a handful of walnuts. It came about as an attempt to cobble together a high-protein lunch from whatever was left in the fridge and I ended up really liking it. :-)
Got to try this sometime...plus it's textbook keto
When eating an Avocado like an apple (no I pealed the skin off though...rather like a banana), I get this bizarre look from 1 of my co-workers like I am from another planet or something..."normal".0 -
Fresh tomato on biscuits and sausage gravy is awesome. I thought that was a normal thing but I mentioned it once at work and everyone thought I was nuts...0
-
Another kind of weird recipe from my childhood...half a hamburger bun topped with "beanie-weenies" (pork-n-beans with cut up hotdogs and a little mustard), a slice of onion, and crowned with a slice of cheese. Put under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts. I still get a craving for these every once in a while, 50 years later.0

It's an art form. It turns to mush if you use regular cheerios or multigrain, the flavored ones have a kind of coating so they don't go soggy so quick, and you can't just add any old beer. I've done it with a few local brews and they do fine.0 -

i used to LOVE this as a kid0 -
Things that I ate in a previous life:
Bread, buttered and covered in sugar
Golden syrup sandwiches
Sandwich filled with fried egg, bacon, tomatoes and a slice of dairylea cheese
Sandwich filled with bacon, chicken, melted cheese and barbeque sauce
Chip butties (sandwiches)
Hot cross buns filled with strong cheddar and apple slices
Chips covered in grated cheddar and vinegar
Garlic bread & pizza with garlic/herb sauce
Just the thought of eating these now makes me shudder.0 -
Watermelon smeared with sunflower butter. As a child I used to eat fudgecicles with dill pickle spears, too.0

I used to gross out all my friends at Wendy's because I'd dip half my fry in ketchup and the other half in my frosty. But I loved it.0 -
Chocolate sauce on pepperoni pizza. And I use hummus instead of mayo on my sandwiches.0

pickles and chocolate

As a teenager I love fries dipped in a mix of ketchup and caramel sauce. I also love ketchup with scrambled eggs. Most people find that disgusting.0

I used to dip my french fries in mayo. I may still do that occasionally if no one is looking.

when I had my tonsils out as a kid they broke an artery and it opened up 3 times so I had to get it cauterized... i lived on baby food for about 6 months. The sweet ones are amazing. Loved plum and pear combo.0 -

I involuntarily had an "Mmmmmm......that sounds good" moment. Plum and pear. 0
