Food Quirks

[jxp]

I love cucumber sandwiches too. Not really weird necessarily but they're awesome. I use sourdough bread, tzatziki dip from the store spread on the bread, and sliced cucumbers with some dill and garlic sprinkled on top. So refreshing.

English cucumbers?

My DH eats cornbread and buttermilk, how common is this? (I thought it was weird!) Corn bread, IMO, should be eaten with milk and honey.

At my house, it depends what else is in the meal. With chili we do buttermilk, with barbecue, sweet milk and honey.

I haben't seen halibut in years! (I live inland) I miss it, it is so yummy.

My DSIL's parents owned a fishing boat on Ketchikan. Halibut was a special treat they'd share with us sometimes. They're retired now. I miss fresh Alaskan halibut also.

Love me some cod. My wallet, not so much.

Yep very expensive now

Everything is so expensive!

I've always loved green onions and peanut butter. Dipped or as a sandwich. I can't get anyone else to try it though .
And cold cucumber soup in the summer. Just fresh cucumber cut into match sticks with a little seasoning in the broth, and sometimes a couple ice cubes...but always chilled and fresh.
My DH loves onion sandwiches. A thick slice of onion and a little mustard. I have to admit to avoiding a kiss for a bit after he eats one of those

A nice onion sandwich keeps the vampires at bay.

Anyone else enjoy pepper as much as salt?
When a recipe calls for "X" amount of salt and "1/2 X" of pepper, I just go ahead and add X of each.
And those tiny packets of S-n-P that come prepackaged with silverware and a napkin, I grab 2 so I have enough pepper.

Thanks for the link but I'd probably best not post here. I'm as weird as it gets about food. Not weird combos more weird about not combining things.

English cucumbers?

Are these different from the regular ones? Not sure I've ever heard of them.

I don't think anything I make counts as quirky anymore. Lots of experiments when I was in college and broke. Like "toss a can of tuna in a pot of mac and cheese and have 2 or more meals from it" or "creative ways to not gag while eating bologna" or "100 things that don't cause you to die inside on your 4th day straight of ramen".

Probably the closest I get to quirky now is an occasional peanut butter and jelly with some cinnamon apple butter added.
