    Those are two different shows. One is my strange addiction, and one is freaky eaters. Freaky eaters is people who eat real food to an extreme that is just plain unhealthy. One person had a tartar sauce addiction, one had a maple syrup addiction, one ate nothing but meat and 100% raw.

    My strange addiction is the one where people eat toilet paper and Ajax and dirt and rocks and stuff. Some of them are just addicted to teddy bears and one was addicted to his car and was in an "intimate" relationship with it.

    Anyway, the freakiest things I've eaten aren't weird for here, but are wierd to other parts of the country. I'm from New Orleans, so we eat crawfish, crabs, raw oysters, blood boudin, alligator, and turtle. I moved to Michigan for three years and my friends there thought I was absolutely nuts!

    I was teaching a class one year and there was this student who ate paper. Like, she had been doing it all her life and there were some papers that were better than others. It was crazy.

    I forage throughout the year. Whenever I go for a walk, I'm snacking on whatever's in season. I get really excited about cattails and queen anne's lace.

    I get the weirdest looks when people catch me picking things off the side of the road and munching them....

    Traditionally my Dad cleans and cooks a big batch of chitterlings for us on Thanksgiving and sometimes again on New Years. It's pig intestines and to some they stink to high heaven when being cooked, but I love the smell and they taste sooooo good.


    Also, there's this snack I've been wanting to try. While at Pier Park in Florida, i noticed this little store that sells sour cream and onion flavored crickets. I wanted them but had no one to share them with the last time I was there. This time around is gonna be different though. Since I'll be in the same area I'll have access to the store and will finally get to try them.

    My absolute favorite pizza is pineapple and mushroom! All my friends think its totally weird. My boyfriend thought it was strange at first, then I got him to try it and now he eats it too! Thats about the freakiest thing I've eaten though

    Strange you say that....that is my favorite pizza and none of my friends will try it and neither will my fiance! It's sooo good!

    Thats too funny! I have always loved them both seprately and then decided to try them both on a pizza lol everytime I order it at a restaurant I get weird looks from the waiter/waitress

    The first job I ever had was at Pizza Hut, so I experimented a lot :) And ended up LOVING pineapple and mushrooms.

    I don't eat strange much anymore... but I used to like things like Ham & Pineapple pizza and dip it in things like ranch. I also remember mixing my spaghetti in things like ketchup when there wasn't much marinara sauce.Also I'd put only peanut butter on some bread and eat it just like that.

    I caught an episode last night of strange addiction. This woman actually drank most of her urine thinking it would cure cancer. It was one of those things where it was so gross but I couldn't stop watching it! Anyone else see it?
    I grew up eating deer and elk meat so when I got married and made ground beef for the first time I threw the meat out thinking the beef was bad because the smell was just awful.

    Probably the worst I've eaten is crawdads from the river. (boiled with salt)

    My brother is the pickiest eater. Ever since we were little he's pretty much lived off ramen noodles. Besides that it's meat and potatoes, but still, ramen noodles. Ehh. I hate them because of how much we ate them growing up.

    I've heard of people doing those things. Kids in my elementary school used to dip pizza in ranch all the time. And peanut butter on bread? Totally normal, and probably one of my favorite snacks =]

    its not that weird but I could probably eat barbecue sauce on anything. when Im hungry and dont feel like really making anything I can just put some on bread and eat it. oh and carrots dipped in it instead of ranch is yummy lol.

    One of my favorite movies! Female Trouble gets the #1 slot though...certainly as far as John Waters is concerned.

    I grew up in the country and we didn't have alot of money. We did alot of hunting and our family raised cows & Pigs. We got as much out of each animal as possible. Some of the weirdest things are blood sausage, cow tounge, Heart, Liver, Squarrell Brains, Raw Hack and Rocky Mountain Oysters. I still eat these on occasion. Blood sausage is still one of my faves

    I love rice with gravy - just like bisto gravy. Whenever I think about it I want it. When I ate meat I was always a fan of some of the lesser popular sandwich meats, potted beef, corned beef & ox tongues were all favourites.

    My favourite hangover food is tinned red salmon mixed with HP (brown) sauce on hot buttered toast. I love it but it literally makes my husband vomit.

    Well I have a weird ritual that I do when I eat bread by itself. I told only one of my MFP friends lol...

    But I'm picky and I eat the same foods all the time. I also can get fixated on something for months at a time. So if I'm craving burritos or something, I'll probably eat one all the time for months and then switch to something else.

    I used to dip my mcdonalds chips into milkshakes.

    I did that too - it was so good.

    I like putting potatoe chips on my PB sandwichs.<<<
    I love to crumble tostitos over chocolate ice cream<<<

    Obviously the above 2 I no longer eat

    I love a fried egg sandwich with cheese and strawberry jam

    Jeez are we twins? I did that to my sandwichs too. Still do if I have a pb one

    Dry ramen noodles. Just straight out of the pack. I am a little odd.

    What channel is that? Sounds interesting!

    Is that the same show where the people eat laundry detergent and toilet paper?

    Sounds like to me you're thinking about the show "My Strange Addiction" on TLC. Where one lady ate toilet paper, another ate nail polish, and some lady used to eat and sniff baby powder.

    When I was a kid, I would eat McDonald's fries dipped in honey. I am also a huge fan of the combination of salty and sweet things. People seem to find that incredibly strange. I love sea salt and (good quality) extra virgin olive oil on vanilla ice cream! It's freaking good. Also, I put crunchy peanut butter in enchiladas instead of meat. I don't do this much now, but I used to love peanut butter, jam and dorito sandwiches. I like cocoa powder and sugar in chili. I'll eat goat's cheese and honey on just about anything, haha but it's so good on fresh figs and plums.

    I think I like weird stuff because when I lived with my great grandma, at the age of 5, she showed me how to skin rabbits and squirrels and cook them. I was always involved in the preparation and she really indulged me, probably too much. At her house, I would eat scrambled eggs on top of toast with butter and grape jam, all dipped in ranch dressing. I actually thought that was normal for a long time. Other kids were scared of veggies and I was eating corned beef and cabbage soup.

    Growing up on the farm we ate things like tongue, heart etc. My grandparents being Scottish we would eat haggis on occaision and all those other kinds of wonderful dishes and meats......sense the sarcasm :sick:
  • I don't really like anything freaky... Although I used to love putting gravy on my macaroni salad...ewww....sounds so gross but tastes so good. No serious, gravy no anything is amazing! hahahahaha

    Gravy was the best when I was younger! I had fishfingers with gravy lol! XD
