On toast, toasted sandwich = amazeballs

Beef jerky + chocolate (preferably minstrels)

Any kind of "holy sh*t it burns my eyes" spicey cheese

Also, raspberry instead of strawberry jam on pancakes is nom

Peanut butter on waffles (and pancakes)

Sometimes I put tea in my honey.

• French fries dipped in mashed potatoes

*Duh. I mean, why the hell would I ever pour milk on my Corn Flakes? It washes the sugar off!
Boy, I am so getting diabetes someday...

While I was in college I did some project work for a company in Memphis. I had just started dating a girl that was working there. One night I called her and asked if she wanted to go grab some barbecue. She said that she was feeling like she was getting the flu, but she would ride with me to pick some up.

Being the nice new boyfriend, I offered to stop by Walgreens and get her some medicine. I ran inside while she waited in the car. It was December, so Walgreens was selling eggnog. I love eggnog, maybe too much. I had to get a quart.

We stopped by Pig-N-Whistle and I got a jumbo bbq sandwich and a huge order of greasy, handmade onion rings. We took it back to her apartment and I ate them while we watched a movie.

Did I say I love eggnog? I really love eggnog, definitely too much. After eating that jumbo bbq sandwich and that huge, greasy order of onion rings, I drank the entire quart of eggnog in about 10 minutes. While we were watching the movie, I felt pressure in my stomach start to build.

Suddenly it hit me. It was like somebody inflated a raft inside of my gut. I dropped off the couch and curled up on the floor. I thought I was going to explode. She didn't know what to do for me. I slowly started crawling across her apartment to the bathroom. Fortunately I made it, and I puked and puked bbq and eggnog.

We continued dating for a good while, but she never let me live that down.

I am amazed by how much of this thread is full of some really, really common things that people eat. I haven't been surprised by any of these yet/have known people who eat these combos.

So while I would hesitate to call it weird, here are some less common things I do with food that I have been teased about:
I eat my hashbrowns with maple syrup.
I will put potato chips in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and then fry them.
This slices of peaches in grilled cheese sandwiches.
Bacon-crecent rolls with cinnamon butter.
And everything is better with garlic hummus.

Oh, and everyone thinks my food is weird because it's Vegan. So I guess that is still a little weird.

I doubt you will have been exposed to it unless were raised by southern, depression-era parents like I was.

Peanut butter & mayo sandwiches.

Specifically, peanut butter & mayo sandwiches with some kind of fruit in between.

Perhaps unique to my family: Wheat toast. Miracle Whip. (Some southerners won't eat anything but Duke's mayo.)

Favorite fruit for these sandwiches: banana, of course. Elvis would fry these in butter and that may be what killed him.

Alternative fillers: raisins. Was made fun of at school by yankees. Apples on occasion.

My personal favorite filler: tomato.

All-time supreme favorite sandwich:

PB & mayo & tomato & bacon (salt & pepper to taste)

YUM!

Very nice breakfast pancake substitute: wheat peanut butter toast drenched in corn syrup.

Good eatin'.

Kermit

One more: liver pudding on saltine crackers.

Not really. Just wanted to mention Dunkaroos. :)

Preferably Longhorn BBQ sauce, but choose your favorite.

Wierdest I've seen is my 4 yo niece. She likes to eat what she calls a mustard burrito. It's a heated up tortilla with mustard spread on it, rolled up, and Bon Appétit.

Directions for the "I'm hungry but the pantries are bare and I'm too tired to walk to the corner shop" dinner:

Ingredients:

• 1 package of ramen noodles
  
• 1 package of Shake 'n Bake bread crumbs
  
• 1 package of Cajun-Style Instant Mashed Potatoes
  
• ~10 grams of chopped walnuts from the icecream party two weeks ago
  
• ~200 grams of paraffin wax, confirmed to be edible by a quick Google search

Heat paraffin in saucepan until it starts to melt. Pay. Close. Attention. To what you're doing. Paraffin will catch fire and burn if you aren't careful with it, and it'll turn brown and taste nasty long before it does that. In fact, as soon as it starts getting soft, you'll want to take your mixture of crushed ramen noodles, Shake 'n Bake, and instant mashed potatoes, pour it on the paraffin, and start mashing it all together. If you didn't have the foresight to prepare the dry ingredients first, mix the mashed potatoes in first. This should give you a greasy sort of caked powder, like wet pie crust.

Once the mixture is complete, scrape it out of the saucepan and into some sort of container. Small bread tins work best, but tupperware will do in a pinch. Dunk the saucepan in the sink and press the walnuts into the ramen/S'nB/potato mix before it can cool.

Really, the paraffin is more of a binder rather than an actual ingredient. If you envisioned sautéing the ramen like Rice Pilaf, that dream is going out the window the moment you remember how much more volatile paraffin is compared to butter. You'll quickly settle for a sort of vegan granola bar.

If you have stool softeners, take three as an after-dinner mint.

... but there was this 1 meal I prepared for myself that will forever remain burned into my memory (and probably my stomach lining).

I was 19 when I moved out on my own. Like most youngsters on their own for the first time, I was flat broke. By the time I covered my rent, bills, and a few drinks on the weekend (19 year-old's priorities, right?) I had about $7 per day left for food. I didn't judge the quality of food by the taste or how healthy it was, I thought about it in terms of "how full per dollar" it would get me.

Pro tip: white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from 7/11 are the closest thing we have in real life to Lambus bread (the Elven bread from Lord of the Rings that'll fill a man's stomach with a single bite). The amount of lard packed in to those things gives them the density of a dying star, and they never - NEVER - go stale.

Back to the point: one night, I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner before rushing off to band practice. I found a box of Mac & Cheese... Win! But being the M&C connoisseur that I am, I couldn't make it using "just water". You NEED milk to do it right. But I had no milk in the fridge, and buying milk was out of the question. But then, just as I was about to give up all hope, I found a potential substitute: a bottle of Hershey's Coffee Crisp milkshake. Desperate times call for desperate measures. "Close enough!" I thought to myself.

Let's just say I didn't end up making it to band practice.

Here's one I forgot. My dad eats sweet gherkins with his red beans and rice. If he doesn't have his sweet gherkins, he throws a fit.
