There's nothing more tastier than a good pizza with ranch dressing slopped all over it....well at least that's my opinion. i was just harassed by a friend because this is how i eat my pizza, and this same friend puts hot sauce on his! to me, that's pretty weird. another thing that i find strange is that another friend of mine puts jelly on his eggs....now thats just effin gross, man!

well now that i've said all that, you people out there probably throw condiments where it doesn't belong, whether it be ketchup on eggs (another thing i love) or salt on an apple (which is a great combo, by the way)...so here's the question: what's the weirdest stuff you do to food to make it more apetizing for yourself?

Btw, the local pizza join near my house makes the best ranch and jalepeno pizza. I'm with you on that.

I love ketchup on macaroni and cheese! It's great. Also when I was a little girl I would go stay the night with my dad and he would make this for me for breakfast... He would put saltine crackers on a plate poor coffee over them and sprinkle sugar all over it. YUMMY! Ok 1 last thing.... The best weird sandwich in the world is dill pickles and peanut butter!

This brings up an interesting point: I always used to bash the French. At any given opportunity I would call them surrender monkeys or frogs. I would remark with disdain about the hairiness of their women. I would call them stinky and rude. But then when all this Iraq trouble got started, two things happened. One: it became fashionable to trash the French. Two: I actually found myself agreeing with what they had to say. Naturally, I was quite distraught by these turn of events. I had to refrain from my non-sequiter French bashing comments, lest I be perceived as part of the jingoistic Bush-loving mob.

People complain that Bush is taking away the civil liberties of the American people, but no one has come forward to take him to task for robbing liberals of their God-given right to mock the French! That bastard! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Mayo freaks me out. I just started eating it mixed into chicken salad sandwiches last year. If it ends up on my burger I throw it away. Ruining perfectly good french fries with mayo is a travesty.

However, I have a wierd habit. I like salsa, tabasco sauce, and Marinara sauce on practically everything (not at the same time however). Salsa on sandwiches rocks. I even dip my fries in Salsa or red sauce. And heaven bless the inventors of HOT SAUCE!

Efexeye

The Peanut Barrel is right on Grand River in the same strip mall as the Wherehouse Records- they have the best goddamned hamburger I've ever had, and the last final I ever took at State, I was blitzed on two of their excellent Long Island iced teas. Plus, they give you free peanuts and encourage you to throw your shells on the floor. Awesome place!

karmattack

11-24-2003, 11:51 AM

Yeah, now it's really weird I haven't seen that place. I'm obviously too distracted by Ricks, The Riv, B-dubbs, and Pacheros two lb. burritos. Actually, I hung out downtown for the first time in a long time recently -- felt a tad old to be in The Riv. We ended up back in Lansing at Mort's -- free darts and strong drinks can't be beat.

back on topic: Do dares count? I once ate a ketchup-covered apple.

Ricks = cool.
The Riv = cool.

Pancheros = I miss the hell out of their 2 lb. drunken latenight burritos.

You should also try the Mexican Restaraunt El Azteco- it's pricey, but I worked there for 2 years and I can tell you it's the best authentic Mexican in that part of the state. Plus, their sangria, although it is 30 bucks a pitcher, will fuck you up royally. And if the waiter offers you a 10-dollar shot of tequila, drink it- you won't regret it.

karmattack

11-24-2003, 12:06 PM

Dude, if you want good sangria a little bit closer to where you are, Dominic's in Ann Arbor is the shiznit. It's only open during summer months, but they have incredible food and drinks. Sangria is about 15 dollars for a large pitcher and if you share it with only one or two people, you'll be sitting pretty. Their eggplant lasagna, ravioli portabelli (pesto sauce), and gazpacho are also worth noting.

Thanks for the heads up, but I actually only live about 10 minutes from Detroit's Mexican Village, where I can get [censored]-up and then walk home. Ann Arbor is too far of a hike, and I don't like driving home drunk. However, I do go there to visit a comics/games store called the Underground, because they carry lots of designer board games that hobby shops around here won't even order for me. Plus, my Michigan State Alumnus license plate doesn't go over real well out there, for some reason....

Oh, just a heads-up to get the thread back on topic- Burger King has this new sauce for their onion rings that is kind of like the sauce you get with a Bloomin' Onion at Outback or a Cactus Blossom at Texas Roadhouse. However, instead of being good to eat with deep-fried pieces of onion, the Burger King sauce will give you fits of gastrointestinal disease. I ate it and was up all night (not fun when you face 200 screaming kids at 7:30 A.M. every day). Needless to say, I won't be eating that nasty crap again. Oh, and check out the ingredients on their "Ranch sauce" sometime. Scary.

jjcourtright

11-24-2003, 01:56 PM

I believe that ketchup and/or hot sauce should be on everything. I have actually yelled at a waitress for not bringing me ketchup. There is of course more to the story, but the lack of ketchup at my table was the straw. My wife and friends still give me shit when there isn't ketchup on a table at a restaurant.

Oh yeah, and bacon goes well on pretty much anything.

Oh, and psychofiend, snails (escargot) happen to be delicious, as all you taste is the butter and garlic, anyway. Hell, I ate a bull's testicle once at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California- I didn't know what it was, and thought it tasted a lot like escargot. That being said, I wouldn't try it again or anything.....

I once had a conch sandwich (you know, the big underwater snail), and it was some of the best meat in the world. When you cook it, it gets tough and not all slimy like you'd think. Tastes like a mix of shrimp and steak. If you ever see one of these on a menu, don't hesitate to order it! I'd kill to taste one of those again, but so few places carry conch meat on the east coast (it's illegal to catch them on the east, so it has to be imported from Japan)

Efexeye

11-24-2003, 03:30 PM

My favorite sandwich is tuna fish, hard salami and cheddar cheese on pumpernickel bread. They used to have these restaraunts in East Lansing and Ann Arbor called "Bilbo's"- they had a Middle Earth theme and everything on the menu was named after something from the books. I believe my favorite is (was) called a "Smaug the Dragon". There was a running joke that you had to be on acid to work there because of the slow quality of the service and the general haphazard employee dress/grooming code. Man, I loved that place- they sold it to expand the "microbrewery" next door. Too bad!

Also, In Diana- are you saying you slop Ranch dressing right on the pizza, or that you dip your crusts in it? Because the latter is one of my favorite things to eat, while the former just kind of makes me queasy.

Big agreement with the Zen-stris on the Mayo kick. It's just the worst condiment ever. I mean no one ever got stick from Mustard, but folks are always dropping from rancid Mayo.

As far as my wierdest food combo, I like to slide a few dill pickel chips in the middle of my grilled cheese sandwich when i'm making it. Soooo goood.

Two posts in a row that I couldn't agree more with. Matt, I have a friend who has a shirt that says "I put ketchup on my ketchup." We once had a contest to see who could put more ketchup on a Whopper. We both stalled out at 18 packets because it took us 18 bites to finish the burger. As for mayo, I believe it to be the food of the devil. My sister is in town and she was making hoagies for lunch. I had to threaten her with violence so as not to end up with mayo on my sammich. I substituted spicy mustard and guacamole. So good.

I freakin' love ketchup. And even stranger, I love the taste of McDonalds "Fancy Ketchup". It is a little sweeter than most. If somebody replaces the Heinz in the restaurant bottle with generic I can tell and I get really annoyed.

Dave reminded me of this...I made Jambalyala when my in-laws were in town last time because my father in law will beg for it. My mother-in-law is one of those "Taco Bell mild sauce is too hot" people. I can't stand her, so I slipped 3 drops of Daves Insanity Sauce in her bowl and mixed it up. Hilarity ensused.

Now, I don't put it right on the eggs, but if you have a piece of toast with jelly and you put scrambled eggs onn it to make a sandwich.....mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. That is some good stuff. I prefer either grape or strawberry jelly when making a sandwich like this.

I think I've got you all beat, but I should preface my long list of weird things I do with a note that my sense of smell and therefore sense of taste is a bit off. I can't smell certain things like gas, tar (tar smells like bananas to me) and whatnot so my sense of taste is much more based on texture. That being said....

peanutbutter and mayo sandwhich (the slick mayo with the dry peanut butter)

mayo on fish paste (fishpaste is a thai dish)

dipping peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches in roman noodle soup

Cream cheese and jelly sandwhiches

melted cheese on pork rinds

and then others some of you mentioned:
ketchup and mac'n'cheese
mayo on fries
french dressing on pizza

Of course, with the exception of the cheese and pork rinds, I haven't had any of these things in a while since I'm on Atkins, but those are some of my favorites.

How is Atkins? If I want to do it without spending money on a book, how else can I get into it?

FanGirl

11-25-2003, 03:01 PM

Atkins is pretty good. I've now lost 21 pounds since September 1st.

You should check the book out from the library at least. It will give you a list of what you can and can't have that first week. The first week of Atkins is no carbs whatsoever. Then you add 5-8 grams of carbs in each week until you find the amount of carbs you are eating and still buring fat. For me it's about 20-35 carbs a day. How you test this is with something called ketostix or metabosticks. You get them in the pharmacy type store like Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Osco, etc. Basically, you pee on a stick and if it changes colors then you are buring fat instead of carbs. That's the diet boiled down.

But of course, you should check with your doctor and all that good stuff. ATkins isn't for everyone and it's a liefstyle diet and not a fast way to lose a few pounds.

And exercise is very important as with any diet!

I have had those types of pork rinds before. Back when I was stationed in Alabama. Working the night shift, there are times when all you can get to eat is out of a vending machine. Those things were great unless you screwed up and over cooked them.
