My oldest nephew doesn’t care much for ketchup, he prefers barbeque sauce for burgers, fries, etc… but then dips kit kats into ketchup… It’s odd.

His wife likes a specific type of coleslaw, similar to KFC’s, and puts the brown gravy on the slaw.

When making spaghetti and meatballs, the last 20 minutes I crack eggs straight into the sauce, and I poach them like that… It makes for an interesting “egg meatball” for your pasta. The whites take on the taste of the sauce a little bit, leaving the yolk as is.

I also have so many others that I come up with off the top of my head that I’m sure I can make a whole recipe book of “wierd concoctions”… hey, maybe we can do a fund raiser? lol. Hope it all helps, if you want to blog it or what ever you’d like to do with it.

Another favorite of the household is what we call “Crispy Dogs”. A hot dog, wrapped with a slice of American cheese, wrapped in a corn tortilla (held with a tooth pick) and deep fried until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp. Drain and eat. A deep fried, portable meal!

Well I do love M&M’s and olives. So I will have to give that a try. There are times when I eat chocolate ~ then I want something salty. I just wouldn’t have tried that at the same time. hmmmmmmmm…..

I am also from the east coast, but have never heard of any of the foods that you are talking about…..

I love to eat olives & peanut M&M’s together. The sweet and salty all at the same time are yummy. Guess this goes for Chocolate pudding and tortilla chips. Mmmmm

Other than that, I am a meat and potatoes kinda girl!

Anyone who not only likes scrapple but who has also made her own is out of sight. I am so honored to have you as a friend. Your mom is 100% correct about it being of German origin and readily available in PA where I was born and raised. Yes, that gray color is a bit upsetting to many but I like it cold and I like it fried. Wow, and to think that your daughter went out and bought some for herself. That’s exciting.

Hi,

All I can say, is anyone that likes scrapple is OK by me
I am not from the east coast, but was born and raised
on the west coast.
My mother was from New Jersey. She made scrapple a lot.
I have never bought it, although I have seen it, from time to time in some grocery stores.
I do know how to make it (at least the way my Mother made it)
from quality pork and not by products.

I have made it about 10 times for my family, and it is not exactly their favorite. They cannot get past the color which
always lends to a lot of ewh’s and yuk’s.
I have to say this though, last week, my daughter called me.
She said, guess what? I just bought scrapple at the grocery store! She was excited (which I found quite validating because of years of “gross” responses I always received) She went on to say, the checkout person was amazed she knew what it was.
My mother told me this dish was originally german origin.
Her mother, my Grandmother was Irish born and imigrated to America and settled in Pennsylvania. Three generations of scrapple makers with one interested and possibly the fourth generation.

Okay! I am pretty liberal and willing to try a lot of different things but I have to admit that there is no way, no how that I plan to try any of these “unusual” combinations. Anyone else planning to try Norma’s combinations???

While growing up, my dad always fixed P & P for Sunday night dinner. Pancakes & popcorn.

My kids can’t sit with me to eat when we have pizza. I must have dill pickle, Pringles & milk with it. “Ewwwww.”

I know what you mean. I can’t wait to try this one soon.

Oh, this is fun! I have to try this one, too. I guess any suggestion that includes peanut butter will automatically go on the list.
