Noticed an odd trend on another thread (Top 10 things about SoWallers) and it gave me inspiration for this one.

I love half popped popcorn kernels. :drool: Anybody else have any love of weird food by products?

i.e. The pieces of an omelet that get up on the side of the frying pan and are real thin and crisp.

The over cooked, but not burned cheese on a cookie sheet after cooking a pizza.

The little bits of batter that float in a fryer/frying pan. I know that Captain D's actually sells these, but can't for the life of me remember what they are called.

:yikes:FRIED SPAM sandwich on white bread with mustard.

Spam is a staple in our house. Actually just fried some about an hour ago. White bread and mayo for me. You know they make light Spam and low sodium Spam (as if that matters😀)



I have always loved the gooey stuff that is left in the pyrex dish after shaking and baking a pork chop. My sister and I would fight over that.

:floor:Oh my ... this is too hysterical. :floor: Yes, we are a secret club - us fried bologna eaters. It's almost too embarrasing to admit. There is comfort in numbers on this one. :floor:Keep the stories coming!

I still have one occasionally. I have mustard instead of mayo. Kind of like fried weiner sandwiches.

Oh my gosh, you're right...I just had a total flashback of my dad splitting the weiners in half and frying them. I hadn't thought of that in years!!!!


This thread has made me realize I am definitely not a weird food eater. 😀

I like the marshmallows charred too! The mushrooms might just make the eggs tolerable.

:floor: SO grew up on peanut butter and pickle sandwich's on white bread! And I love the half-popped kernels and "crispies".

Anyone ever had fried bologna sandwiches? You "fry" in the microwave - it curls in wierd ways and - prepare yourself for this but the grease pools in the cup it makes - and then you put it on white bread. Actually, now that I have kids of my own, I can't believe my mother let me eat this as now it really makes me queasy to think about. :puke: But, when I was younger, I ate it many many times at lunch (when I grew up, we walked home for lunch every day).
That peanut butter and pickle does sound kind of good. :blink: If your feeling more ethnic one day you can call this funny lookin' fried bologna a 'sombrero'. We used to put cheese on it too sometimes. 😀

Fortunately or unfortunately however you want to take it I was raised by a vegetarian so fried bologna was never on the menu. We did however have cottage cheese, molasses, and wheat germ as a desert.

Right before my mother died she passed on the secret to my sister that the ranch dip we had coveted for years and fought over was in fact soft tofu blended to a paste and a packet of hidden valley ranch. Still hate tofu, but love that dip.

We still think it's funny that she passed tofu off on us for all those years and had no idea. 😀

It really is good, even if you don't like tofu. I still have my fun serving it to unsuspecting party guests.

Then I won't post all the other recipes she snuck tofu into. I'd love to do a soiree, it's so nice living in an area that uses a word like and knows what a soiree is. :cool:

My mother used to get creative to try and use up wild game. After elk tacos and elk meat loaf, I stopped eating anything that was supposed to be made with "ground beef".

Of course, it's hard to criticize her cooking since I will put cocktail/horseradish sauce on some random foods - leftover steak, venison, popcorn ;-).

"Ground Meat" was often suspect in my Mom's kitchen also:floor:
For example:
1. In the morning: open the frig & be greeted by a 1/2 thawed long curved whole beef tongue complete w/ taste buds.
2. Later that afternoon: VOILA! Heave extreme breath of relief that the offensive tongue has disappeared. Thrilled for Jingles the Dog who's surely enjoyed a "long tasty" treat.
3. Rut-Ro..."Hamburger" Pizza for supper.
4. Valiant effort to "swallow" the deception!!!:funn:
