I randomly decided to have a snack that my mom used to make for me when I was little and sick.

Lime jello and cottage cheese.

Its all neon green and dairy custards. I can't help staring at it while I swallow each yummy bite.

Something this gross-looking shouldn't taste this good. I don't even dare think how better it would be if Walmart hadn't only had sugar-free jello left.

I think I'm going to have it again for breakfast and freak out my roommate who hates all things green and made from milk.

That not only sounds like it looks gross, it also just sounds gross.

For years my favourite food was a sandwich I invented which contained peanut butter (crunchy), mustard (regular), pickles (dill, not sweet) and cheese (preferably cheddar). My aunt once filmed me eating it to see if I would throw up. I didn't ; it's actually quite delicious. I never came up with a name for this sandwich though.

Which reminds me, I haven't had one in years.

Oh man, those sound foul.

I've eaten a herring whole; ok, nothing to write home about.

I love blue cheese and natto. (not together obviously)

When I was a kid, I'd spread Marmite on one slice of bread and Nutella on another, then slap them together in a sandwich. Salt and chocolate are surprisingly good. Better than peanut butter and jelly.

And don't even get me started on black pudding. Mmmm, yummy blood. Haggis is nice, too.

I used to make peanut butter and pickle relish sammiches when I was a kid. I never thought of adding cheese, though. I don't know why, because I still (on rare occasion) will have a peanut butter sandwich with a slice of cheese on it (no relish, though.)

I put potato chips in my chocolate pudding for just this reason.

I was a peanut-butter-and-salami sandwich kid, but the peanut butter mustard pickle one sounds great to me too.

I was a fan of peanut butter and Lays Sour Cream and Onion potato chips sandwiches. You have to squish it down before you eat to break the chips into lots of tiny pieces so it won't make a mess.

And to go upscale:

Steam spinach; puree with olive oil and parmesan. You end up with something that looks like Calvin & Hobbs's talking spinach casserole, or worse.

Spoon it hot over grilled salmon.

DAVID!! *tackles* I've missed you!! You and I have some catching up to do...

Erm, yeah. As far as gross food, I used to drink orange juice with everything. My favorite is orange juice and goldfish, but I drank it with chinese, mexican, and all sorts of weird stuff.

I will also put anything in yogurt. My favorite thing to do was goldfish crackers in any flavor yogurt. My college roommates thought I was crazy.

And here I thought I could just sneak back in and no one would notice. [Wink]

And, um... orange juice and goldfish? As in , live ones?

Salt and sweet: Wendy's french fries dipped in Wendy's frosty. Mmmmmmmmm

My little brother and I used to mix various beverages together. One was Dr. Pepper, Kool-aid, and milk. (We were probably 7 and 4 at the time. Oh, we thought it was hilarious. I now think my mom was very wise to just pretend it wasn't happening...at least we were getting along.)

If there was a Wendy's in town, I'd give myself a coronary from dipping those french fries in the frosty every single day.

Here is one of my favorites. Came up with it at a hamburger joint with a big pickle bar.

1 saltine cracker (salt side down)
Mayo on top of the cracker
1 slice of kosher dill pickle

The perfect balance of salt, sour and creamy

Is there a difference in taste between kosher dill pickles and regular dill pickles?

I don't think so, but I have never tried it. Since eating this thing (don't have a name for it) is almost a religious experience, I decided to stick with a holy pickle.

"Kosher Dill" is not a religious designation, it just means a dill pickle made with garlic.

My dad is king of gross foods. Last year he stunned us all by concocting what I now refer to as the "spamut butter pop-tart sandwich". I'll leave it to the reader to figure out the three components.

That's weird. When I buy garlic pickles, it just says "garlic" on the label. Or "garlic & dill". I've never seen a jar of pickles that said koscher to mean garlic. Are you sure that's not just some local thing?

Food can also be quite kosher in preparation, with the commercial product maker just refusing to pay a BIG fee to an official kosher inspector for an official kosher designation.

Given that at least three national brands use the term "kosher dill," I'm going to go with it not being merely a local phenomenon.



aspectre, the fees for supervision (especially for such things as pickles and other canned/jarred veggies, which require minimal supervision), are not that high. You haven't been listening to those "kosher tax" idiots, have you?

Some things that look so gross and taste so damn good and are not kosher so rivka wouldn't know, are lobster and crawdad. I can't eat them unless someone else has done the preparation in lobster salad or soup (or crab cakes), by which time the visual effect is gone.

Another thing, purportedly, is raw oysters, which I've never had the stomach to try, though I have testimony from other people that they're delicious. I do like the cooked ones, which also look gross.
