What is your "strange" snack?

MrFun · January 18, 2003, 23:19

Ok, recently I have told people that one of my favorite snacks, is dipping peeled baby carrots in a jar of peanut butter. They said that it seems strange that I like that, but it's delicious I tell ya.

So what snack do you have, that others might consider to be a little strange?

celery in peanut butter is more common...

i do the same thing with pretzels though, dip 'em in peanutbutter and eat...mmmm...

I eat cereal strangely as a snack ( not for breakfast )...I fill a glass halfway with cereal, pour milk on, and drink. My mom thinks it's barbaric

Chips and salsa, the only "unusual" part being that the salsa contains a healthy dollop of tobasco sauce (since they don't sell salsa that's strong enough in Ohio).
Friend Dave: "Hey Kevin, let me try a chip!"

Friend Dave: "Ahhhhhh, it burns! Make it stop!"

loinburger, i do the same thing!

I would say the blood of the innocent but with such a vast increase in the levels of vampirism in central office of late such is to be considered more a harmless vice than anything untoward.

Uh... I've always been fond of peanut butter on burnt ( well done ) toast so I decided to try it on a completely charred ( solid black ) slice. I don't recommend it.

What I do is take two pieces of white Italian bread (I'm Irish but what the heck), put brown mustard on both, put ham and provolon on the one bread, and put Lay's potato chips on the other. Crunchy coldcut sandwich.

Another thing I do is mix Coca Cola or Pepsi with Milk. I'm telling you is very good, most people go yuk but when I get them to taste it they can't get enough. It's nice and sweet.

Kingof the Apes · January 18, 2003, 23:34

I have no unusual snacks. Just give me a bag of chips and I'm happy.

The closest thing I can get to "good" salsa out here is Pace, which just doesn't cut it. I'd have hoped that CA would be better (what with being closer to Arizona and Nevada), but more's the pity...

Another vice of mine is burnt ham. I'll take some deli ham, stick it in the microwave for 5-8 minutes (until it's nice and crispy) and then make a sandwich out of it. It's delicious, I tells ya!

one of my friends dips cheese curls in chocolate sauce

MRT144 · January 18, 2003, 23:41

actually LB, it is much better out here, but i like that extra zest. also i like salsa thats a little less chunky and tabasco does the trick

You should move to California. Some of the salsa here is hot enough to leave you rolling on the ground gasping for breath.

It's kind of funny to see the out of towners try it for the first time.

My friend brought me back some "Atomic Bomb" (or something like that) from Louisiana when he went there for Mardi Gras. I now know better than to try hot sauce when told "This stuff is sooooo hot..." by whoever's touting the stuff -- sometimes, the person's right, and then Lord help me.

jdd2007 · January 19, 2003, 00:40

i dont know how common this is, but i smother my rold gold in mustard. pretzels and guldmans is pretty damn tasty...

chequita guevara · January 19, 2003, 01:55

Bunnygrrl's weird snack is peanut butter and baloney sandwiches.

I don't have a consistently weird snack, but fried veggie appateizers (zuccini, mushrooms, etc) with jelly on them aren't really that bad. Jelly on garlic bread, however, is disgusting.

Sava · January 19, 2003, 02:04

I coat white chex cereal with chocolate, and then mix it in a bag with lots of powdered sugar... OMFG its good.

Bosh · January 19, 2003, 02:24

-hot salsa straight from jar (friends always eat all my chips

)
-dry spagetti (nice and crunchy!)
-gjetost (brown norwegian goat cheese that scares all my friends deeply)
-bananas and nutella

lately I've picked up a pita and hummus addiction, but that's hardly strange (at least at wes

)

I would have to say that this is the strangest snack mentioned on this thread so far.

fruit

Bananas, pears, apples, all are great, juicy snacks. Nothing strange on that AFAIK.

Nubclear · January 19, 2003, 04:20

Thinly sliced sugar-coated strawberries on chips with melted cheese.

Dis · January 19, 2003, 04:22

fruit is a strange snack in the U.S. Not something kids eat anymore.

I think kids eat stuff like doritos and stuff for a healthy snack

Another reason why USA sucks.

Okay, how about this. I once had grilled tilapia (fish) with cherry tomato-raspberry sauce. It was incredible.

Actually, that sounds like something I'd like to try. Any cheese in particular?

The Mad Monk · January 19, 2003, 05:14

I'm not sure this qualifies as a snack, but I have it for lunch sometimes...I boil up a cup of rice, add a six ounce can of chunk lite tuna, thrown in a cup of the salsa-of-the-week, stir, and enjoy. Oh-so-cheap, and oh-so-tasty.

Gangerolf · January 19, 2003, 06:03

toast with cod liver oil and sugar, topped with a thin layer of caviar spread.

Boris Godunov · January 19, 2003, 13:18

The strangest things I eat as snacks would probably be soy chips. They're kinda like little rice cakes, though, so not that odd.

By brother, however, is a freak. He would eat the foulest things as snacks. First, there was his penchant for putting ketchup on cold pizza for breakfast. Then there was his mixing cottage cheese in with his Spaghetti-Os. He also would dip his fries in mayo. The worst was (I'm not kidding) his peanut butter and mustard sandwiches. *shudders*

Paul Hanson · January 19, 2003, 13:22

Peanut butter and barbecue beef/smoky bakon flavoured crisp sandwiches.

I also put mayonnaise on pretty much anything.

*End Is Forever* · January 19, 2003, 13:36

I like corned beef on toast. I don't find it odd at all but most people seem to...

Starchild · January 19, 2003, 13:37

What's weird about French fries in mayo Boris? It's damn good. Viva la belgique.

I'm a fan of cold leftovers but that's not really weird. I'm never sure why I get odd looks when I have cold curry and rice for breakfast.
