I'll start:

The sea-salt in my house is intended for my salt grinder, but I have recently taken to adding whole sea-salt kernels to other stuff I'm eating: my favorite is to slather cream cheese on a bagel and then sprinkle some sea salt into the cream cheese...soooo yummy. I also add sea-salt directly to my salad and reduce the need to add dressing.

I've been known to put melted butter and ground black pepper on salad though. :(

I eat ripe tomatoes raw...just dip them in a little balsamic vinegar and sprinkle them with olive oil and black pepper.

What quirky foodie stuff do you like?

when I am shitfaced, I like to make a box of mac & cheese and stir in a can of baked beans.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

also, I have never liked pretzels, but I fucking LOVE pretzel rods dipped in coffee ice cream.

Wow...why don't you complete the circle and add hhot-dogs? Are you afraid you'll implode the space-time continuum?

When I was in the Navy and standing duty, I'd go to the McDonald's on-base, order a FlickMurray (McFlurry) and some french fries to dip in.

I like odd juxtapositions of flavour and texture: I like to buy pints of chocolate ice cream and when I get to about the halfway point; dump in a shitton of coconut and nuts and lately; sea-salt. Then I miix that shit up into a ball of what-the-fuck-is-that and eat it with a fork AND a spoon.

Maybe that's not THAT weird, but yeah; I def understand that pretzel shit.

I completely understand the sweet and salty combination. 

I would have to say the weirdest thing I eat is pizza rolls dipped in blue cheese dressing, which was an accident one night when I was trashed and then it became a favorite!

Some people think pineapple pizza (no ham, plz) is weird..  :? (Though I have to say, I think mashed potato pizza is the strangest I've had so far.)

Hot sauce and ranch dressing. Separate or mixed. It's the secret to most of my cooking.

I make myself a bunch of cream cheese celery stalks and dip that shit in Tabasco and sesame seeds.

I eat mayonnaise and pickle sandwiches all the time, which some people think is weird (since when did all sandwiches have to have meat or peanut butter in them?). Also, as a native of Cincinnati, OH, I put chili on EVERYTHING: potato chips, foccacia bread, hotdogs, macaroni, pancakes, etc.

Man, now I'm itching for some Skyline Chili . . .

Skyline chili tastes like cloves to me.  Otherwise, we put chili on a lot of stuff here in STL too.  Chili-Mac is available in most locally owned restaraunts as well as chili over chips (usually homemade).  MMMMM

OH YES another one of mine - homemade potato chips with chili and blue cheese sauce that has pimentoes, green onions and chopped habenero.  ZOMG it is soooooo good.

I like to add Worcestershire sauce to my stuffing/dressing.  Especially if the stuffing is dry.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

Holy hand-jobbing Hepzibahs . . . that sounds epic. You have to give your recipe for homemade potato chips. My life cannot be complete without making this dish, now.

Any kind of blue cheese + something else = :D

No, this isn't me being "intentionally weird" by professing my love for cheese. I really do enjoy the kinds of cheese that make many people gag.


And I totally hear ya, navkat, about the salt. I have a strong preference for kosher salt. For ++JEW, I spread butter on a plain matzoh and sprinkle kosher salt on it.
