Not a recipe

[indygal]

Hi y'all,

This is a fun topic. I've got some weird family "mixed togethers" for you:

spaghetti sandwich
bologna and potato chip sandwich
peanut butter and tomato sandwiches (they rock!)
peanut butter on a grilled hamburger
sliced radish and butter sandwich
sauerkraut mixed in mashed potatoes

Then there's my mom's infamous Jell-O salads: lime with pears and cottage cheese, lime with chopped lettuce and cottage cheese, lime with a dollop of Miracle Whip on top, orange with shredded carrot and pineapple. OK, probably not too weird, now that I think about it....hmmm.....

My ex used to top his mashed potatoes with whole kernel corn, and he liked maple syrup on fried potatoes.

Not really "weird" foods, but a little unusual are mayonnaise cake and vinegar pie. Have any of you ever tried these?

Mayonnaise cake was quite popular in the 1960's and it was good and I have lost my recipe for it.   So was the lime jello with pears and cottage cheese and the orange jello with shredded carrots and pineapple and raisins.   

I have had many a radish sandwich with the white icicle radish and plenty of butter.  They are just as good as eating the radish with a slice of bread & butter. 

Even the sauerkraut mixed in mashed potatoes sounds good and I can't stand sauerkraut.

One of KFC's items now is the bowl of mashed potatoes, corn, chicken nuggets and gravy, layered instead of mixed.  The rest of the weirds I haven't heard of before.

Ok, have you ever heard of pancakes with gravy on them? How about a glass of milk with a piece of cornbread mixed in? Put butter on bread then add slices of onions fold in half, folks that is good eaten.

Last but not least, my Father would take cottage cheese  put tomatoes on them then put about a teaspoon or more on top. That was  dessert to him.

My father-in-law used to spread peanut butter on a slice of bread, then spread some honey on top of that.  I can remember thinking "oh, yuk!"

How about crackers and milk?  That's what my sister-in-law used to want.

I have used onion sandwiches to break up a cold, but my girls refused to try it.

My mother loves onion sandwiches and luckily for her so does my dad I've known them both to eat one for a late night snack How about a french fry sandwich? or "chip buttie" as they are called in England. Another thing my parents like is fried bread they fry their bacon and then fry bread in the bacon grease and top the whole greasy mess with a fried egg--that is sunday breakfast for them .

My mama used to love lard and sugar spread on homeade bread. a couple boiled aggs and they had lunch. She said that they ate lots of that when she was a child.

I love crackers and milk.. and the best breakfast or snack is cold cornbread with milk and half n half on it.
And milk toast.... warm milk and melted butter on a big slice of toast.

We used to take bread and dip it in the bacon grease in the skillet and eat that. I still am known to do that.. but I use bacon grease in everything  that I cook.

Sauerkraut is wonderful.. I make a dip that has hamburger in it and it really is good., My sister and I like to take sauerkraut and put it on potato chips and eat it.
Mark could make a meal out of sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese and some like sugar sprinkled on the top.
Bologna and potato chip sandwich?? yes I love those.

My mother loves onion sandwiches and luckily for her so does my dad I've known them both to eat one for a late night snack..

And is that how you became to "be created?" Guess that smell of onions on the breath was just too big a romantic pull to keep them apart. ... LOL LOL
( Hope you know I am just kidding with you)

Ok, have you ever heard of pancakes with gravy on them?

No I have never heard of pancakes with gravy.. but guess it wouldn't be much different than biscuits and gravy.

You must have had a tall house if anything could roam around under the floor boards.. LOL

Well, here I am in south Texas and I have not been on the forum for quite a long time, much to the chagrin of my "oldest earth angel" - Teresa - but whn I read all of the "not a recipe"  entries I had to put in my 2 cents worth.  I absolutely love cold soup beans on a slice of buttered home made bread w/ a thin slice of onion---- bologna and jelly (any kind) on a slice of home made bread --- fresh tomatoes and hard fried eggs on a toast sandwich --- crackers with a sprinkle of sugar over them, on a plate with coffee poured over it ----corn bread and milk --- milk toast --- oreo cookie with a slice of bologna wrapped around it - OOOOOhhhhh Yum!!!! -- cottage cheese with ANYTHING is wonderful --- A slice of chocolate cake, hot from the oven,  with homemade butter on it  ----
  Well, have I grossed everyone out yet?  ohhhhhh ~~~~ one other thing  -- I LOVE fried mush with a  big blob of homemade jellly one it...Now I know that Kjell loves fried mush also, so maybe he will relate to "Mother" on this one.
  Well, the list goes on and on -- and Richard McLean is right --- tomatoes are good with pancakes,  sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes, toast and tomato sandwich, and everything else, for that matter.
   Have a happy eating fest, everyone, and a Happy Thanksgiving !!

Janet.....I think the reason that most men do not like casseroles is ~~~~~~~~`there is NOT ENOUGH work involved to get a meal on the table for them    hahahahahahahahaha
  Think about it ... "you mean this one dish is all we are having?      well..... I don't think one dish is really a full  meal --- just ~~~~~~~~~``you know~~~~~`one dish?? 
At least THAT is the LOOK and the attitude of the one that I cook, for and have cooked for the past 59+ years.
Hooooooooo  Hummmmmmmmmmm     that is life in the female lane, girls !!!
  But------I still keep hangin' in there, but for that matter, so does he!!  I would not trrade him for the world.
  Do we have casseroles very often???   NOPE

Jo, good to see you back on here.  I have wondered where you were.  And you really do have a weird taste in food.  Is it an Elk County thing?  My sister-in-law, Elizabeth, likes some of those things, too.

I'll be thinking of you down there when we are deep in snow here.  If we ever get any moisture.
