    I would take a red boiled potato + helluva good dip + redbeet egg + bacon bits and mash them all together.

    & it is still one of my favorite meals ever. LOL.

    I was a pro at eating weird combos. I used to drink orange juice while I ate pickles; I can't do that anymore. My stomach cannot handle all the acid.

    Cat food. Like when I was 5 or so...

    Kinda hard to believe, looking back, but I used to love it.

    I used to eat clumps of brown sugar. And I loved cheese with peanut butter - just a slice (or 3) of cheese with peanut butter on it.

    When I was 4-5, I would hold food in my mouth and "suck" on it. My brother used to say I could suck the color out of a green bean. :blushing:

    Along with picking anything that grew out of doors, we used to pick dandelion leaves, bring them home and wash them and sprinkle them with salt! :D

    I would mix the jelly (jell-o yeah?) with the hot water but drink it straight away without setting it. Really nice as a winter drink actually

    used to love letting the chocolate ice cream get soft and dipping wise potato chips,,,, could eat a lot o them chips . also went through a phase where i was making a pre-fab home made pizza from a box almost every day after school... sigh...
    oh. then there was the mashed potatoes / ketchup thing with some corn added... that one made my brother grab a double album cover and erect a barrier between us at the table...

    Hmm. I had so many of these! Lets see.

    White bread, country crock (lots), and A1 steak sauce
    I would always make garlic bread in the microwave: bread, country crock, garlic powder
    Grilled cheese with lots of miracle whip
    Dip french fries in ketchup, mayo, and hot sauce OR ranch and ketchup
    Mac n' cheese and ketchup. I still do this, but rarely have mac n cheese anyways. When I first moved in with my boyfriend I would disguise this food habit by serving hot dogs on top. "It's for my hotdog" haha.

    Basically food is just the vehicle for condiments! :)

    I used to secretly hide in my bedroom closet and eat sticks of butter. Entire sticks. By the pound. Sick.

    As a kid, I was completely addicted to Dr. Pepper, I mean, to the point I drank 8-12 cans A DAY....still the hardest one to kick! When I have children, I hope to not pass that one down....!!

    My different foods could not touch each other, and I ate all of one before I'd start another.

    I still do this

    When I was a kid, it was a real treat for me to eat the crispy, crunchy tails and fins of my mom's pan-fried trout. These days, the idea almost gags me.

    Something that I really love is a navy-bean sandwich. Or chili-bean sandwich. One slice of bread, buttered, then spread cold navy-beans or chili-beans on it, fold over. Yumm!!

    Eating right, stopping when I was full, not eating unhealthy foods very often, exercising a ton, never thinking about food... such a strange, strange kid I was :wink:
