Peanut butter and pickles - from Slashfood
Just read a fun post over at slashfood. It’s funny how we all seem to like different things and often there is something that we eat (often handed down by family tradition) that cause other people to say yuck! My dad loved that old Southern classic peanut butter, banana and mayonnaise- which I find utterly revolting (mostly because mayo makes me sick). A family food that we ate, which isn’t disgusting, just odd is what we called “peanut butter and jelly mixed up in a bowl” and it is exactly what it sounds like. You have to get the ratio correct for it to achieve its highest potential, but the muddy purple concoction has earned me a strange look or two.
The two foods that I have eaten that people have said yuck! about were:
- Well done hamburger with applesauce.
- Bologna and banana sandwiches
I haven’t had hamburger and applesauce for a long time, mostly because I don’t like meat well done. I think it’s invention was a way to introduce moisture to hamburgers my dad would flip and press until no juice was left. My family would say yuck, but I loved it.
I don’t know where the peanut butter and banana came from, but it is just one of those sweet/salt things that just seems to work. I don’t know anyone else who was willing to try it.
What is the weirdest thing you you eat?
