Anyone ever heard of putting cheddar cheese on apple pie? Ketchup on eggs? Raspberry on a Monte Cristo?

What's the oddest food combination you've heard of?

Ketchup on eggs is extremely common (at least in NY). I would never do such a thing though.

This post reminds me of this blog. While it's not about strange combos, there is some pretty gross stuff there. About halfway down there is some crazy Mexican corn with an infection. I actually found and bought that a couple nights ago. One would think it's cheap, but a small 7 oz. can cost me $4! I may try it this weekend if I'm brave enough just to see what it's all about.

Fried chicken with waffles and maple syrup seems weird to me, but there are a few places in the city that specialize in it.

The trend of putting cream cheese in sushi rolls is something I find odd. I personally think it's gross. I don't think any type of cheese belongs on any Japanese, Chinese or Korean menu.

I have witnessed both of those I say yuck to them both.

The site Rob linked reminds me of this one.

I have seen corn rotting away in the field still on the cob that looks like that canned molding stuff.

It's hard to even contemplate eating a fried egg sandwich without ketchup!

Here in Yorkshire they put Cheese on their Christmas Fruit Cake !!!!

Sounds weird, but a bit of wensleydale tastes quite nice, but I am still a marzipan and icing man myself

Cheers

scrambled egg + ketchup can be good too

My aunt used to eat pork sausages, cooked until they were starting to blacken, drizzled with Golden Syrup. Sounds weird, but actually tasted quite good.

Eryl's mother has just started eating sugar sandwiches again (a throw back to her childhold), which sounds horrible to me. Golden Syrup sandwiches however are lovely

While living in Finland I saw that many there put ketchup on top of pasta. Uck...

I have to admit to having eaten pasta with ketchup as a student a few times, when pasta and ketchup was all I had...

That's quite common here...

I've seen people putting peanut butter on pancakes, then covered in syrup of course, which I would never touch! I occasionally put ketchup on my scrambled eggs, but always do it when making a scrambled egg sandwich.

A good sharp cheddar next to a warm slice of fresh apple pie, nothing's better. Or as my Grandmother says:

"Apple pie without the cheese is like a hug without the squeeze!"

Grandma's pretty smart.

Sorry I haven't had time to reply, our election was today and it's been a REALLY long day.

Personally, I like apple pie with sharp cheddar. Adds a little kick to it that I find appealing.

[gross analogy ]

To me, eggs with ketchup just makes me think of a chicken's afterbirth. Admittedly, I've never actually tried it. I can't get past the mental image.

[/gross analogy]

I, too, like it when my bacon comes in contact with syrup. In fact, I have started eating maple cured bacon. mmmmmmm.

My own personal peculiarity is that I like to eat my scrambled eggs with my grits mixed in. I've never seen anyone else do it, but I love it. What is particularly odd about this is that I don't normally like my different foods to even touch.

Mayonnaise, pickle, and peanut butter sandwiches come to mind. Weird but good.

I once stayed with some people in Wales who had melted cheese and bacon with their breakfast fry up.

Most fruits are great with a bit of black pepper, try it.

......all of a sudden I want a date and banana sandwich!

Grapes, wallnuts, sharp cheese and whole wheat bread (this is almost common in my father's homeplace, one mountain chain off the Adriatic coast).

Toast, butter, honey and garlic (this in not common at all - I discovered it when I accidentaly speaded my butter using a unwashed knife my mother used to chop garlic). Hmmm, haven't tried this for decades [heads to the kitchen)

BTW, I abhor ketchup, mayo or anything but salt and pepper on eggs or fries; OTOH, half of my pasta dinners use tomato-based sauce; lacking anything better, ketchup will do. Also, fresh tomatoes or, lacking that, tomato juice, ketchup or double concentrate are for me essential ingredient of beef consomme (as is onion, hacked in half and slightly burnt on stovetop before being boiled to death together with other ingredients).

I tend to be rather dull with my food (in other people's eyes). I like to think that I appreciate food they way it's been prepared. 99% of the time I don't even put salt on anything that's handed to me.

Ketchup on breakfast foods is very very common, although I also think it's very strange. I think it's also a love it/hate it type of thing.

I also think that mayonaise on french fries is odd.

As a kid, I used to make saltines with peanut butter and white sugar.

Hmmm.... This is an interesting read. Makes one really think about what we're eating.

How about this then:
