Weird Foods

[sowalgayboi]

Noticed an odd trend on another thread (Top 10 things about SoWallers) and it gave me inspiration for this one.

I love half popped popcorn kernels. :drool: Anybody else have any love of weird food by products?

i.e. The pieces of an omelet that get up on the side of the frying pan and are real thin and crisp.

The over cooked, but not burned cheese on a cookie sheet after cooking a pizza.

The little bits of batter that float in a fryer/frying pan. I know that Captain D's actually sells these, but can't for the life of me remember what they are called.

[DD]

Are you my long lost brother? Love all of the above, except for the omelet part. I'm not much on eggs. The popcorn kernels especially if they're a little burned are to die for!! And those little batter pieces.....yum!!

You know you can actually order full packs of half popped popcorn. They're on the 'net and called Half-Pops. My hubby got some for me for our anniversary...inside joke gag gift but it was greatly appreciated!!!! They come in different flavors too....original, butter, white cheese. Mmmmm!

[jodiFL]

I love the hard crusty cheese and crunchy pasta that you get when you fix Baked Ziti or lasagna.

peanut butter-n-pickle on white bread sandwich

:floor: SO grew up on peanut butter and pickle sandwich's on white bread! And I love the half-popped kernels and "crispies".

Anyone ever had fried bologna sandwiches? You "fry" in the microwave - it curls in wierd ways and - prepare yourself for this but the grease pools in the cup it makes - and then you put it on white bread. Actually, now that I have kids of my own, I can't believe my mother let me eat this as now it really makes me queasy to think about. :puke: But, when I was younger, I ate it many many times at lunch (when I grew up, we walked home for lunch every day).

[KansasBorn/30ABound]

There's a restaurant in a small town not far from here that features a fried bologna sandwich. I've eaten a few in my day but not from there.

Does catsup on scrambled eggs count as a weird food combo? I personally wouldn't eat my scrambled eggs any other way but Merman turns green at the very thought of it.

No - just great minds think alike as we posted almost at the same time! :biggrin:

And ignore my response post - I thought you were telling me to read the previous posts because I missed a fried bologna comment - didn't see you edited your post to add the comment.

Spam is a staple in our house. Actually just fried some about an hour ago. White bread and mayo for me. You know they make light Spam and low sodium Spam (as if that matters:D)



I have always loved the gooey stuff that is left in the pyrex dish after shaking and baking a pork chop. My sister and I would fight over that.

I still have one occasionally. I have mustard instead of mayo. Kind of like fried weiner sandwiches.

Oh my gosh, you're right...I just had a total flashback of my dad splitting the weiners in half and frying them. I hadn't thought of that in years!!!!

I like the marshmallows charred too! The mushrooms might just make the eggs tolerable.

That peanut butter and pickle does sound kind of good. :blink: If your feeling more ethnic one day you can call this funny lookin' fried bologna a 'sombrero'. We used to put cheese on it too sometimes. :biggrin:

[sowalgayboi]

Fortunately or unfortunately however you want to take it I was raised by a vegetarian so fried bologna was never on the menu. We did however have cottage cheese, molasses, and wheat germ as a desert.

Right before my mother died she passed on the secret to my sister that the ranch dip we had coveted for years and fought over was in fact soft tofu blended to a paste and a packet of hidden valley ranch. Still hate tofu, but love that dip.

It really is good, even if you don't like tofu. I still have my fun serving it to unsuspecting party guests.

My mother used to get creative to try and use up wild game. After elk tacos and elk meat loaf, I stopped eating anything that was supposed to be made with "ground beef".

Of course, it's hard to criticize her cooking since I will put cocktail/horseradish sauce on some random foods - leftover steak, venison, popcorn ;-).

"Ground Meat" was often suspect in my Mom's kitchen also:floor:
For example:
1. In the morning: open the frig & be greeted by a 1/2 thawed long curved whole beef tongue complete w/ taste buds.
2. Later that afternoon: VOILA! Heave extreme breath of relief that the offensive tongue has disappeared. Thrilled for Jingles the Dog who's surely enjoyed a "long tasty" treat.
3. Rut-Ro..."Hamburger" Pizza for supper.
4. Valiant effort to "swallow" the deception!!!:funn:

I'm having weird breakfast- drunken noodles, pad thai, thai pepper steak, and fried rice, all mixed together. Leftovers from Big Daddy's BBQ and Thai food in Ft. Walton. I am going back on Thursday if anyone wants to place an order.

I can't tell y'all how awesome this place is--

Gosh that sounds so healthy! Wonder if you can make onion dip like that too. Sweet story to go along with the recipe, that's even better! :wub: Have you ever had Special K Loaf or Pecan Meal Meatballs in BBQ sauce? :drool: I always make some around Thanksgiving. Both sets of grandparents were 7th Day Adventist. A lot of them are vegetarian too. My youngest gull is too, vegetarian, that is. I get in the mood for vegetarian stuff sometimes. Did ya'll eat that Linda Loma peanut loaf in the can ever? or Links? It even smells healthy. :D :wub:

Most any dip you can get in the "packet form" will work. My mom's best friend used to make her grandmothers meat balls specially for her using "grillers tofu burgers" can't remember the brand name. They tasted the same. Thank you for the thoughtful comments, breast cancer is a horrible horrible disease.
