Weird things you do with food

@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.

It's dutch thing to hate buttered toast with sugar sprinkles. Chocolate is a favourite of children. New parents serve buttered tea rusks (beschuit) with sugary anise flavoured sprinkles to neighbours and colleagues. Blue ones for boys and pink ones for girls. The sprinkles for newborn babies are calledd muisjes, because their shape resemble mouse droppings.

You would have had poffertjes. Funny I saw the same pan for those tiny pancakes in Thailand too, but made with coconut milk instead of dairy milk.

-Salsa goes with everything:
Baked potato & salsa
Canned tuna & salsa
Eggs & salsa
Avocado toast & salsa
Celery stick & salsa
Steel cut oats, quinoa, rice, any other whole grain & salsa
Pasta & salsa
(You get it)
- if salsa doesn’t go with it (or I’m out 😱), then Mustard goes with everything!
or soy sauce
Or hot sauce
-Take things apart to eat because playing with my food is part of the fun! Sandwiches, desserts, candies, snack nibbles
- anything can be eaten at any meal
- either eat everything separately and sequentially or mix it together casserole style before eating.
- I grew up with four siblings, so I eat FAST (even when I think I’m eating slowly)

Grilled cheese plunged into ketchup, and pizza rolls too.

I have grilled cheese with ketchup. I also have french toast with ketchup.

I agree with many of these lol

Well... I don't think it's weird, but others do. I eat each dish separately, if there's sauce left over from one I'll mop it up with a little bread before moving on.

The only exception is "Chinese" takeaway.

I do the same thing! I eat each item on my plate fully before moving on. I don’t take bites of each like a bite of burger bite of salad bite of Cole slaw. I eat all the Cole slaw, then all the salad, then the burger.

Bread with peanut butter and sambal badjak (=Indonesian chilli paste).

I like to put a dab of mayo in stir fried rice. It’s so good

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".

Fries are mostly served with tomato sauce (ketchup) or aioli here in Australia. Mayo or aioli with fries was common in more than one European country I've visited. In Iceland, they serve fries with Kokkteilsósa (cocktail sauce). It's a delicious combination of mayo, sour cream, ketchup and mustard.

Vegemite, grated cheese and lettuce sandwich

The lettuce seems out of place but maybe not so much, could add a nice "crunch factor" to the sanga. Have to try it sometime.

I like to dip chocolate chip cookies in orange juice. It tastes better than milk 🤷. Eat ice cream in a mug.

If I were to make a sandwich, it has to cut diagonally.

I agree, slicing a sandwich any other way just isn't right.🥪

I like stale/dried out marshmallows.

I eat pizza with a fork.

Ok, hear me out before you get mad at me. It slows down my eating so I have to time to digest and realize when I'm full. It helps me with dieting.

Plz don't kill meh

So happy to find my fellow “chocolate chips in orange juice” freaks. I finally got my husband to try it and he agrees it’s good. I don’t understand why people are so horrified by it; it’s chocolate + orange (which is delicious) + cookie.

I don’t put lime and lemon on all my food, but the foods that do get it get a LOT. I’ve been known to use a whole lime on a burrito. Unsweet tea should have SEVERAL slices of lemon. I’ve been on a kick of putting like 1/4 cup of bottled Key Lime juice into my fizzy water.

I tend to eat my food very equally or from the ‘worst’ bit to the ‘best’. Like if I have a bowl of chips I’ll eat the broken small ones and save the whole and/or folded ones for last. Or if there’s something like cheese and apples, I’ll have to make sure each apple slice has a cheese slice. One element left over just annoys me.

Edit to add: Nacho Doritos dipped in sour cream. You’re welcome/I’m sorry
