Spin-off!


Mabuglet's post about the mashed potato volcano with turkey and peas inside and ketchup! got me thinking.



What weird foods did you grow up with? Any strange combos?



For me, it was about cheapness...my Mom would serve us elbow macaroni with a little milk and ketchup on it....sort of tasted like spaghetti-o's. LOL!

Noting too weird...but we seemed to eat a lot of fish sticks with macaroni & cheese.

Tuna Over Toast was probably not a super common dish. It was tuna and peas in a white sauce served over buttered toast.

for snacks we used to love saltines with melted slices of Velveeta on them as kids

A baked potato with salsa and mustart. Looks gross, tasted great!

Yea cheapness ruled in my house too. No weird food combos just cheap food, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese and bologna.

Ground beef fried with a can of vegetable soup mixed in and thrown on top of a slice of bread

No really strange combos - but at Christmastime we always had lefsa with sausage or brown sugar and sometimes had lutefisk, which I never, ever ate!

Barbque Balogna. - just warm some bbq sauce in a skillet & smother some balogna in it.



BTW - why is Balonee spelled like that?



That also reminds me of my brother - when my mom mad grilled cheese, he always asked for "boyed" cheese... get it? he thought she said Girled...



OK that's enough from me.

beans and melted cheese on toast

I use to love mixing mac & cheese with ketchup. Now it sounds pretty gross.

I didn't really have any odd combos...but I do like ketchup on my mashed potatos too!!

I suppose it's all relative. My mom always made this lemon jello with grated carrots, chopped celery, crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows in it. My husband thinks it's the weirdest thing and doesn't like to eat it. Me?....I love it!

My mom used to fry ground beef and throw in a little plain macaroni.

Well I did this one to myself -
Take a piece of toast (preferably Texas)

Sprinkle it with Worchestershire

Smear on some sour cream



-yum!



See I was a vegetarian for a long time and I had this treat cuz it reminded me of a steak dinner. (the sourcream was from the baked potato)

I can't think of any strange ones we had growing up...but the most disgusting was SOS....ICK!!

we were cheap too... toast with spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese. 15 secs in microwave. cheese pizza bread

Hmmm... potted meat sandwiches with mayo and my grandmother's sweet pickles were probably the strangest thing I ate. I did (and still do!) love cheese/pineapple/mayo sandwiches and cornbread in a glass with milk poured over it.

we were poor, so lots of tuna lol....i don't recall anything totally weird. unless macaroni & cheese & tuna is weird?

We would eat hog head cheese(Ugh!!!!).
