Food combinations I eat that some people might find strange

I WANT MORE PARMESAN!!!

I never thought it strange, but we were talking about restaurants last week. There was an American Grilled Cheese Kitchen locally that closed last week. I thought it was a concept problem, but a friend with the county revealed that they had many health code violations and fines. Talking about grilled cheese, I mentioned that my favorite would always be gouda and cheddar, with bacon, pickles, and peanut butter, on sourdough. Everyone looked at me like I was eating mayonnaise straight from the jar. (I've also tried using mayo instead of butter on the outside of the bread, but did not prefer the results.)

I have a buddy that eats mayo on his French fries. He said it's a British thing.

I’ve heard about using Mayo in place of butter for grilled cheese but so far haven’t tried it

BTW, since I’ve moved “south”, the local Kroger store has Duke’s mayonnaise which I never tried before - according the internet, one should never buy any other brand Duke’s.

Haven’t opened the jar - but am anxious to try

As I understand it, the rationale for using mayo is that it is mostly eggs and oil, nearly a Monte Cristo or French Toast finish instead of the buttery grill. Also, mayo is easier to spread straight from the fridge and does not need to soften like butter. In addition to lacking the richness of butter, a mayo spread will not grill properly if it is stuck up in one of the holes in the bread. One bite of ungrilled mayo can throw off the whole sandwich.

I like Best Foods mayonnaise.

As far as weird combos...

I like making quesadillas with leftover Chinese food.

Mustard on egg rolls

One of the best movie scenes ever covered putting mayo on French fries, in Holland.

Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches.

Ketchup on my mashed potatoes... looks digusting. But hey, you dip your fries in it..

Cold pizza

I will dip just about anything in Marinara sauce, except eggs.

You’re right SC, but I prefer HP sauce or Vinegar personally.

My little brother growing up liked bologna/ketchup/ruffle chip sand which. I didn’t get it, but he loved that shit. Ate it everyday.

Ketchup mixed with mayo is a very Utah thing. They call it fry sauce.

Not a fan of marinara

Cold pizza is good.

Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches are great.

Yes they are, until some asshole adds bananas to them!🤮

Huh. Peanut butter, bacon, and bananas. I'll have to give that a shot.

Peanut butter and potato chips

White wine with steak. Because I do what I WANT.

When you’re cooking, you don’t always NEED to use specifically oil or butter, etc, so I use Mayo a lot bc it offers a different flavor. My sister and I call it “fancy sauce.” Lol.

I like to break saltines into my spaghetti, like you would into soup.
