    This is, by far, my favorite thread.

    When I have grilled cheese and tomato soup, I put the sandwich into my bowl and pour my soup over it. I eat everything with my spoon then. Maybe not weird, but I've gotten a few funny looks for doing it this way instead of dipping the sandwich into the soup.

    When eating a sub or sandwich, I have to put potato chips on it.

    The grilled cheese IN the soup idea is genius...will have to try!
    I do the same with chips on sandwich, but lately i've switched it up and topped with French's crispy jalepenos

    Fairly common one I think - strawberries drizzled with balsamic vinegar

    that is so incredibly yummy with a really good aged (and oh so expensive unfortunately!!) balsamic vinegar

    What do you think of substituting pomegranate or date molasses (available in middle eastern shops) as a lower cost alternative to balsamic? I agree that nothing beats a really well aged balsamic but it is more expensive than good cognac.

    I use the syrup created by the soaking of dates or figs (even prunes) for various things... would be good on strawberries for sure...nothing beats that balsamic though ;)

    Easy enough to make our own "aged" balsamic. Simply simmer a bottle of balsamic vinegar on the stove top until thick and syrupy. Good enough.

    this is true...I've only done this once a while ago. I think I'm inspired to make again!

    Actually, both of these sound really good!

    I’ve eaten peanut butter and pickle (has to be dill pickles without garlic) sandwiches since I was a kid. I add mustard as well, though.

    My current weird thing is to slice up a banana and microwave it for about 45 seconds. Sometimes I add some mixed spices to it. Goes all gooey and delicious but my colleagues think I'm crazy!

    There are a lot of things I thought I was the only one with...now I know I'm not alone lol. I too will disassemble food and eat the individual parts separately (i.e. a cheeseburger...eat the veggies first, then bun, then the meat/cheese, certain candies get eaten certain ways depending on what it is, etc.).

    Different combinations...my husband definitely raised an eyebrow the first time he watched me eat a smidge of butter on a graham cracker. That's the first one I can think of, the others will come to me after I post I'm sure lol.

    Doritos eaten with pickles
    Mayo and mustard mixed as a condiment or chip dip (which now with Mayomust by Heinz I'm thinking that isn't as weird...)
    Ranch dressing mixed in spaghetti (it makes it creamier)

    That's all I can think of right now but I'm a pretty weird foodie (probably why I needed MFP in the first place).
  • I like graham crackers dipped in apple juice. Also, I only eat bananas with knives. And I can only eat ice cream (vegan of course) if it is melted. And I cut or tear everything I eat.

    I enjoy ranch on creamy chicken ramen noodles. I know neither are the healthiest, but it was something that started while I was pregnant and hasn't gone away yet.
