Hmm I like cow heart on a stick. Then uuuh this thing that has like meat, herbs and vegetables that are pretty much cooked underground surrounded by stones.

That's pretty much it

Edit: I also enjoy these sweet-potato based donuts we have here.

Beef heart and dressing is one of my favorite meals, so I'd probably like this - although I've never seen it here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />

If cats keep pooing in my yard I'll start to eat them on the tip of my soon-to-be spear. They did this even when I was just a few years old, in my sandbox, I ate the sand, now put two and two together. Must be destiny who made me allergic to them, otherwise I'd just cuddle those damn furballs.

Hmmmmmmm... blackboard chalk.

X_Stickman

Chicken & Mushroom pot noodle, drop a chocolote chip cookie into it before all the water has been absorbed. This is one of those things that sounds disgusting, but actually tastes quite nice. Same as Malteasers on a cheeseburger.

Chicken slice and jelly sandwiches. I think US and UK have different things called "Jelly" though. Jello? I dunno. The stuff that wobbles.

Microwave steak & kidney pie, put it between two buttered pieces of bread, squash it down, and cut it. Nice quick meal.



I would like to point out that, although all of the above actually do taste good and are nice, they're mostly things that I've just tried once or twice. Except the pot noodle and cookie thing. That was a regular.

GreyFlcn

Rice with Worcheshire sauce.

Depot

"Worcestershire" sauce goes good on anything white: rice, pasta, bread, smashed taters, tatot tots, french fries, saltines... the list goes on.

Mantrid

French toast with cheddar cheese melted on it.

Everyone I tell about this thinks I'm a total freak, but it's actually delicious.

Depot

I love French toast, I love grilled cheese (made with cheddar), sounds like a match made in heaven.

Ima try it Mantrid. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

well, Monte Ctrisos:
2 pieces of french toast
Ham
Turkey
Swiss Cheese
Something sweet (this ranges from powdered sugar and maple syrup to sweet honey mustard)

sounds like you'd be better off eating crepes - those are standard crepe toppings but strange pancake toppings :><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well I DO make fairly thin pancakes, sort of in between pancake and crepe ... pancrepe? :O

Liku

I just had deep-fried ice cream... how-bad-ass.

I bet most of you eat sausages but don't even consider to list it amongst the strange things you eat.

Lips, ears and fatty tissue from the pig's rear, ground up with left over offal, bread and a couple of bits of actual flesh. Add some herbs to bring out the flavour.

Haze: It's funny you bring up that exact combo. Years ago in a house share there was this aussie guy who used to do exactly that. I, of course, had the typical reaction to it until I tried it and it really is something special. I use good quality [french] strawberry jam and a strong mature cheddar. Mmmm.

As for pancakes, over here in euroland we make our pancakes wide and thin, almost the same shape as crepes, but a little thicker. Pancakes and crepes have different ingredients, and you can eat sweet and savoury toppings on both. Usually when I make pancakes, I go for one savoury, one sweet and one dessert etc. On the savoury one I'd put some onions, mushrooms and melted cheese, on the sweet i'd put caster sugar, lemon and honey or maple syrup. On the dessert pancake I'd put diced fruit with natural yoghurt and some cinnamon.

They all rock my taste buds.

I have little time for US style pancakes I must say. I'd eat them if I was hungry, but I don't get excited about them like I do for the ones I make myself.

Private_Coleman

I made a thick pancake today. They aren't anywhere near as tasty as the ones I make. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

Always raining on people's parades, puzl. Always! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

DiscoZombie

I also much prefer thin pancakes to thick, just like I prefer thin, fudgey brownies to thick, cake-like ones. It's sad that thin pancakes are hard to find in the US. What's the difference in the recipie? I should make some myself...

also: thanks for helping me reconfirm my vegetarianism <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

Kassinger

Caustic fish, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutfisk" target="_blank">Lutefisk</a>. Slippery transparent soap-fish.

Not really a fan, have tried it a few times during Christmas. Probably more common among Norwegian descendants in the mid-west than here in Norway.

And you say that like it's weird. The whole <i>point</i> of the word "weird" is that something is strange, odd, abnormal. So many people eat sausage that it can't be considered weird. Why are the lips, ears, etc. inherently weirder than any other part of the pig? Because you wouldn't eat them outside of a sausage? There are plenty of foods we wouldn't eat if we had to see them in their rawest form (sushi comes to mind; if they gave you the fish instead of cutting it up first, you would probably balk). Sausage is weird if you think about it as eating its component parts unaltered, but nobody does that. Sausage isn't weird.

Jimmeh

Not that weird but really nice.

Get some Jamaican Ginger Cake, slice it up and cover each slice in Nutella (or normal chocolate spread). Yum.

I'd agree with everything you say Tycho, especially about the definition of what weird is. I just wanted to highlight the point that some conventional foods would be considered weird by many people. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I find it strange that people eat sausage without considering it weird.

enf0rcer

here's a weird one - I don't like food.

I get little pleasure from eating foods (not counting candy which isn't really "food"

I like the taste of steak, chicken curries, etc but It makes no difference to me if I get to eat it or not. If I could eat a pill as my daily consumption I would. I already eat vitamin pills as a substitute for a bad diet (not that i'm fat I just don't eat enough veggies). Food is just boring, takes time to make, goes bad if you buy it and don't eat it in time, can make you sick if you eat said spoiled food. I just simply derive no pleasure from eating.

Try: fried chiken + pancakes w/ maple syrup

frostymoose

I dont think i really eat anything that out-of-the-ordinary, myself.

A friend of mine, however, puts mustard on pizza. Another puts peanut butter on BLTs and ketchup on scrambled eggs.

I've been known to eat a raw bacon sandwich if the occassion arises.
