Weird things you eat, that no one else seems to?

My dad used to eat canned sardines, so I kind of grew up with them and they're no big deal... but even people my age think they're totally gross...

What's interesting is no one has a problem with tuna in a can, but sardines, my wife of ten years STILL won't even try them...

~edit

...wait a minute, I'm not young!

You're wrong about the last part. The smell of canned tuna disgusts me, from literally a block away. I know a couple others who are the same way.

also, growing up we used to eat cow tongue. Yes that's right, cow tongue, cooked and then eaten cold, sliced thin in a sandwich. But then I grew up on a farm and we butchered our own animals. Bulk beef anyone?

I put ketchup on my turkey come thanksgiving time.

 

[DnetMHZ]

Cottage cheese and apple sauce mixed.

Looks nasty but it's really good. My grandmother got me into the habit.

 

[SpiderWiz]

pickled pig feet

 

[IceBergSLiM]

are you a pork chop?

I worked in a deli many years ago, tongue is actually very good. It's a bit disturbing to see the whole thing in the package though.. just a 12-15 inch whole tongue about as fat as your upper arm!

I like to snack on frozen peas.

I had tongue once. Its too chewy for me but it tastes like any other part of the cow.

I want to vote for "keep your canned..." but I do not exclude tuna.

I like sardines, but for canned seafood I prefer Fried Dace with Black Beans over rice.

 

[0roo0roo]

sardines in tomato sauce can are ok.

 

[Jaiguru]

Mushrooms. I find it real hard to find anyone that likes them as much as I do.

 

[James Bond]

I drink the tuna juice out of a can before I eat the tuna.

I've showed this to tons of people, and probably 50% of them started doing it after watching me.

 

[ChrisIsBored]

Soggy white rice with sunny-side up eggs that are soaked in soy sauce. It's an Asian (I think fillipino?) dish, but it's damn good. No one ever has the guts to taste it.

 

[pontifex]

Guy here at work likes groundhog.

yech.

I drain it and then rinse it, actually... just seems like a good idea....

Rice with hotdogs,

Drained cooked ramen with ketchup [Only works with certain soup bases... interestingly enough, crab's the best one]

ate that as a kid too.

 

[PepePeru]

hot tuna & bbq sauce
peanut butter, jelly & tostitos sandwich
chili & rice

 

[imported_Shivetya]

[Jugernot]

Sardines are nasty...

Best snack ever... pretzels with 2% milk. Can't be fat free, 1% or Whole.... must be 2%.
