Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
Fires dipped in any shake (but McD Shamrock or eggnog was best)

And when I was in High school I picked these up

Ranch dressing on Pizza
Cut up apple in cherios or corn flakes

When Mom wasn't around I used to take bologna and throw it directly on the burner and turn on the flame. When the bologna slice was nice and hot with some burnt then I'd make a bologna and mayo sandwich. Mom couldn't figure out why that burner always needed to be cleaned much more often the all the others. It never dawned on me that I should use a pan. But I did know enough to never do it when Mom could see me.

Mom always told me when I was a toddler I'd crawl up on the table and they'd find me with my fingers in the butter stick.

Mom always made rice a dessert. She'd boil up the rice then add a lot of butter and sugar. So good...it wasn't until I went away that I saw that other people ate it plain. Strange people eating naked rice like that. What were they thinking?

I'd also eat marshmellow cream from the jar <gross out coming-look away if you have a weak stomach> until one day Mom yelled for me and showed me the jar. The last time I had eaten it, I hadn't put the lid on tight and a <really-don't read the rest-this is the time to quit> a mouse had gotten in and sufficated in the marshmellow. His little body was half way in and his little tail was sticking out. :barf: I have never been able to eat that stuff since!

Sarahyu, I love the ***Spoiler Alerts!!!***...

But did I look away? Nooooooooo, I just HAD to keep going! :mouse: :yikes: :faint:

Hey, you warned me, right? :lol:

mom2cole: oh me too! I had totally forgotten about the sugar sandwiches, but I would do that a lot in elementary school.

Sarah that is so funny to me.
My older brother and I used to put hotdogs right on the burner. Boy would it make my mom mad.
Despite your warning I continued to read on. I used to love marshmallow cream that is until today. My dad would make us what he called "fluffer-nutters". It was marshmallow and peanut butter on really soft white bread.
Boy did this sure bring back memories. LOL
Thanks for sharing

Mine is and I still do it. Cottage cheese as dip for Chips. Also Mayo sandwhics

Here's one my grandma taught me, made them for me almost every day in kindergarten. Mix peanut butter with honey and butter and spread on sandwich bread. It's not that it's gross, but I've never met anyone else who had eaten this. I still crave these from time to time but the sugar/fat content is so high... I just don't keep honey in the house anymore for this reason.

Hard salami nuked in the microwave until it was crispy.The smell was horrible,but it tasted soooo good.

I've also done the fries dipped in shakes(chocolate was best),peanut butter and bananas(could never put it on bread though),and miracle whip sandwhiches.

Gosh, my stomach is roiling after reading some of the mixtures described before me :lol:

Lala, my dad introduced me to a similar peanut butter mixture, except using pancake syrup instead of honey. I loved it and my son loves it now. I don't eat it much anymore though since I'm watching what I eat... I would if it came with a free pass not to gain weight.

My weird "snack" thing was to eat cake frosting (like Duncan Hines) with a spoon, especially if it was the refrigerated leftovers--cold chocolate frosting was best. My mom took a Wilton's cake decorating class when I was little and I was never interested in eating her perfectly decorated cakes, just the frosting. On the other end of the spectrum, canned sardines in soybean oil, mixed w/mayo (like a tuna salad sandwich)...I don't eat them now, but I did as a kid.

I have some weird snacks that my family members eat:

BIL: spaghetti-o's, heat in microwave until hot, then mix in gobs of peanut butter until melted. Gross! He's also the hot dog, peanut butter and ketchup eater.

8 y.o. niece: a tumbler full of granulated white cane sugar--she's been also known to eat half a stick of butter before getting caught.

Mom: remember those little bottled cream cheese mixture spreads? Her favorite was to mix the pineapple and pimento spreads together and eat them on crackers :barf:

Sisters--a whole can of black olives, not the little can either.

Gotta run and get some Tums...

YOOZERS! your niece must be spazing after a literal cup of sugar!

Ugh, my mom like crumbling up graham crackers and pouring half and half over them, like a cupto drink it. Soooo gross.

Oh, and she likes dipping BBQ fritos in microwaved peanut butter.

We used to make "balogna roll-ups." We'd take a slice of balogna, smear half an inch of mayonnaise on it, and roll it up so it was like an eclair made of bologna and mayonnaise. Then we'd make 4 or 5 of these, lay them side by side and make a sandwich out of them.

No wonder I got fat. :p Needless to say, mayonnaise and balogna have BOTH been off the menu for the last 7+ years. :dizzy:

My mom would eat raw biscuit and/or raw frozen pie crust dough dipped in white sugar.... eeew.... she'd also crumble cornbread into a cup and pour whole milk over it, which I guess isn't so bad but the consistency grossed me out!!

DeafinlySmart 02-27-2006 05:49 PM

How many of us ate koolaid straight out of the pack. It was like that "fun dip" candy, but homemade.

Katie Bug 02-27-2006 06:09 PM

I would make butter sandwiches and spread gobs and gobs of butter onto the bread. The butter was literally an inch thick! I still crave this sometime, for some reason.

I'd also dip everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - in honey. BBQ chicken, french fries, peanut butter, grapes.. you name it and I probably dipped it in honey!

I'd also mix soda, water, milk, orange juice, and whatever else I could find and drink it. Makes me sick just thinking about it now!

I've sprinkled salt on watermelon a time or two, but I've never had rhubarb.

My hubby has told of his mom wrapping hard breadsticks in bacon & broiling them. :no: Sadly, he has told this story as a "we should do this" sort of thing. This is also the man who once dumped a cup of granulated Splenda into the spaghetti sauce because his mom used to put sugar in hers. A smilie does not exist to convey the sheer disgustingness of that...

Both of my older daughters have gone through a stage of picking the butter up & eating it.
