Along the subject of "social norms", I figured that this might be an interesting topic to discuss. 1. What are some unusual food combinations that you enjoy eating? For that matter, is there any food that you like to eat by itself - that generally isn't eaten that way? If so, what? 2. Do you know of anyone else (which can even include a specific culture that you aren't a part of) that eat their food that way? 3. Do you ever eat that way when you're with other people, or only when you're by yourself? 4. Does anyone else know if you eat your food that way? If so, what do they think of it? Otherwise, what do you suppose they would think of it. I intend for this to be a judgement-free topic.

I don't eat anything that unusual, but I think this is a great thread and I look foward to seeing some unusual food combination, maybe I'll like one ;D.

I can eat powder milk and powder chocolate mixed together with just a bit water.

Ooooh, I got one! I like eating condensed milk and powder chocolate together. But that´s extrremely sweet and unhealthy so I only eat it veeery rarely.

I'm the kind of person who scoops peanut butter into a bowl and eats it plain. I just loooooove it so much xD Some of my friends do that too, while others think it's disgusting, but they tolerate me doing it around them anyway. Also, my dad puts Tabasco sauce on everything (even fruit salad), which is most likely because he is from Louisiana. They sure do love spicy food.

I really, really enjoy putting potato chips on liverwurst and peanut-butter sandwiches. The appeal for me is in the crunch, I think, but also because it just tastes so darn good! Other food combinations I love are French fries on hamburgers (which my best friend in elementary school introduced me to. He also claimed to put cereal on pizza) and salmon burgers. Cookies dunked in soda and orange juice are also very delicious (not simultaneously, mind you, but separately. LOL).

I like, when eating popcorn, to keep them in my mouth and take a big gulp of chocolate milk. I think it's the sweetness oof the chocolate milk vs. the saltiness of the popcorn that I like. My mouth gets very dry when I eat popcorn too, so that must be another reason why I like it.

I like chocolate and popcorn as well, but I haven't tried it with chocolate milk. I'm a fan of the sweet & salty taste.

Last night for dinner, I went to an authentic Hong Kong cuisine restaurant with some friends. We ordered lungs, intestines, ears, stomach lining, tongue, and a very peculiar blood soup with various entrails and eyeballs sprinkled throughout. I sampled everything, liked a good portion of most of it (the ears were too chewy) and when it came time for me to sample the soup, I liked it, but then I picked out a cube of some white stuff with my chopsticks, which I thought was rendered fat or perhaps a piece of some other organ, and sampled it. The taste was so repugnant, slimy, awful, and gooey that I immediately began choking and had to spit it out. It turns out it was tofu. Blegh. The soup also had random chopped up bits of hot dog strewn throughout, which seemed quite odd at first, but then we concluded, hey, what are hot dogs really made of, anyways? On a regular basis, my most unusual food combinations are probably deep fried pickles and chocolate syrup, or a lump of peanut butter and nutella swirled together with cinnamon sugar on top, and olive oil ice cream.

Here in Brazil he have feijoada, which is black beans with pork meat. But it has ears, tail, neck, basically all stuff people reject. It´s not unusual at all here though, but maybe it is over in the U.S.?

Depends on whether or not most North Americans are more than vaguely aware of the average contents of a hot dog. Or Spam. Of course, I grew up eating Hebrew National, so I know what's in my hot dogs, but Oscar Mayer eaters may not be able to make the same claim.

Barbecue sauce goes good on pretty much anything.

I enjoy eating mangoes and ice cream together. That sounds really good, actually... well, it depends on what flavor of ice cream.
