    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!!

    Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. Makes me gag thinking about it now!!!
    Oh, and I'd dip my frenchfries into my Coke to make them soggy before I'd eat them. Again, gagging! lol

    As a kid, and still as an adult...if I have a sandwich made with read I'll pull off the crusts and eat those first then proceed to eat the rest of the sandwich.

    I used to make myself a cup full of icing, like mix together butter and icing sugar and vanilla, and then eat it with a spoon. It was so gross, but so good!

    any Auzzies and Kiwis out there would know about the amazing tasting Vegemite (a yeast spread which is still an all time favourite for me) ...anyway i was fussy and skinny as a child and the only thing I would ever really eat is vegemite and tomato sauce sandwichs and if i was allowed I would add salt n vinger chips into them and it had to be white bread no crusts! still think it tastes pretty delish too :ohwell:

    I would open small sacks of plain Lays potato chips and squirt yellow mustard into the bag. Awesome! Or so I thought.........

    i used to put a can of potatoes in a bowl..microwave them with some margerine on top (so that it would melt) and then i would take it out and add a lot of ketchup and mix it with the margerine.

    Ah to be little again. good times :tongue:
