Haha I asked this months ago and got some interesting responses. I'm curious to see some new answers.

I put ketchup and crushed red peppers on my macaroni and cheese.
My cousin eats Cheeto and peanut butter sandwiches. I've also heard of people putting maple syrup on grilled cheese sandwiches. less

I think it's such a great question & I loved the answers I read. Now 3 years later, we have a bunch of new people & I think it is time to see what we can come up with. Besides those who answered this in 2010 might have some new or changed tastes. less

When I am on steroid medication, my tastes change & I have a much stronger appetite. There was nothing in the house one evening, except Cheetos crunchy, which I never had tried before. I decided to try it & they were delicious, but not enough. I searched the kitchen, discovered cream cheese & tried them together, perfection! Later, I even discovered they were better with the chives & onion flavor cream cheese. When I am off the steroid & I try to eat Cheetos plain or with the 'dip' I cannot even get past one bite!

I grew up eating cream cheese & olive sandwiches & burnt toast with butter, yum! My mom likes cream cheese + caviar sandwiches or crackers, as well. less

I love your discussions!

My weirdest food combo is probably ketchup and regular potato chips all crunched up together. I get that one from my dad. In fact, I get most of my weird habits from him. LOL. He knows how to make some awesome food. He can cook up all kinds of interesting combinations & somehow it always tastes good. He made fried green beans (with the batter and all) & they were delicious!

My other weird food combo is chicken and honey. I've eaten honey on my chicken nugget/strips since a small child. I don't know where that one developed, but I still eat it. I never have chicken without honey to dip it in. I don't think I have ever met anyone else who does that so it probably did come from my dad.

Pregnancy cravings? I did have those, but they weren't odd, just very odd for my tastes. I never was one for that Asian chicken stuff or pineapple chicken. At all! And when I was pregnant I had such intense cravings for it -- both times too! In fact, it's part of what caused me to realize that I might be pregnant the second time. That & my real loving mood & heartburn. Those are things I never get. Lol. I'm loving, but I got a little overboard when pregnant & never ever have heartburn except during both pregnancies. So those things & the Asian chicken cravings are how I knew I might be pregnant. Was right.

I was a frequent customer at Wendys (for their Asian chicken) during my pregnancies. Lol.

Hmm.. Can't really think of any other odd food combos I like.

Ants on a log? Those are something I like that is an odd combo, but I think plenty of people like it they just don't like celery. Lol. less

The cream cheese and caviar reminds me, a lot of 'Americanized' sushi rolls have cream cheese in them. At first I thought it would be weird, but the combination is pretty awesome. I have had one with just roe, but the fish isn't a far stretch.

Have you ever tried taramasalata? Its a Greek 'spread' I guess would be the word. It has roe in a creamy, sorta of cream cheese/mayonnaise combination that also has potato in it I believe. Like very mashed, no solid chunks. That stuff is great. It's hard to find though. I got turned onto it, then the market stopped selling it and now I am always on the look out. less
