Nah seriously, weirdest thing I eat (but I don't swallow) is: straws. Yes, at the end of every meal where I have a straw, I'll chew it up and bit by bit nibble it down til there's nothing left.

Every single lunch consists of plain cottage cheese and then pasta with basically nothing on it, so pretty much just plain pasta.

Doritos with cream cheese on them.

Peanut butter (usually crunchy) on my waffles with butter and syrup. People for some reason freak out when they see that the first time but once they try it they can't seem to live without it.

My mom was the same way. She thought it was the weirdest thing that us kids would put peanut butter on our waffles. A few years ago she tried the first time and realized how good it was.

Egg salad with minced green olives mixed in. I think it's a depression-era concoction that's been passed down our family. That's my comfort food when I'm really stressed out.

That will be lunch daily during wheat harvest, here in a couple of weeks.

Im sorry I guess I have no idea what wheat harvest has to do with egg salad.

I want to think you're joking but I suspect you're not. :(


I like to eat corn on the cob with this.

Cow tongue, fried pig intestines & tripe are all typical mexican food items, I eat all of those often. Tongue tacos & burritos with green sauce are the best.

Whats the protein content on one of those?

I imagine its a great source for omega 3 fatty acids

do you prep them at all or just straight from the can?

What brand do you prefer?

you can choose to answer all or none of these questions and I will sleep fine.

Wow, waffles with both PB & J actually sounds pretty good right now. I may have to try that sometime..

Well, why would you? :eek:

I'll be trying to work my day job, as it's my busiest time of year, plus help out as much as possible with trucking wheat from the field to the elevator. Driving a truck with 10 tons of grain in the back is harder than you'd think, and kinda scary when you're sharing a two-lane highway with summer vacation traffic.

I can't think of the brand at the moment and I'm not going to dig through the trash looking for it, sorry;)

Each can contains 1 serving and has 15 g's of Protien and 180 Calories so 2 cans would make for a good lunch. It has about the same Nutrients as canned Tuna in Water.

The brand I get either Kippered, Tomato and Basil sauce (which I prefer) and Teryaki. They cost $.89 each at the local Stop and Shop.

Ate that too before. If you cook it as a stew and leave it overnight during winter time you can see the grease forming a candle like layer :Q

i like frozen peas with ranch dressing :) although it grosses everyone else out, maybe it's just an acquired taste
