I put fish sauce in just about everything I can.  Just a splash.

I have noticed that in the cooking lessons, but I have to give you credit, you have converted me!!

beet juice?? never heard of that method.  my favorite pickled egg recipes include LOTS of jalapenos and garlic.  i also throw carrots and cauliflower into the brine to pickle along with the eggs.  i had some in minnesota that had cloves and found it quite disgusting.

Jalapenos and garlic sound win.

There's this crudite/pickle thing people here might be interested in, actually.  It's called turshi and it's Afghan/Iranian.  It's basically pickled veggies, but traditionally it's made with these tiny egglplants, onions, garlic cloves and peppers.

Tursh means sour in Persian, so that's why the name--they use lots of mustard seed.

Really? I had some clove / nutmeg ones recently that were quite good.   

i think it was more the element of surprise that ruined it for me.  up until that clove egg, i was under the impression that pickled eggs were all jalapenos and garlic, so when the clove hit, i was like "what the fuck is this?"

I follow.  I've had the same unpleasent experience with bastard Non- New England clam chowders.

They ARE different though.  One of few foods I just CAN'T see pairing with much else.

Peanut butter and bacon, in a sandwich.

Surprisingly nice.

[Freeky]

I like to eat tomatoes and ketchup. And chips and ketchoney. Deliciousness.

[Dysnomia]

I'm a mayo person.  haven't tried miracle whip, but I hate cool whip. 

Eggless (tofu) egg salad is pretty good.  Though I do LOVE putting things in eggs.  Just the other night I scrambled some with pine nuts, parmesan cheese, asiago cheese, zucchini, and herbs de province.  Frying one up with garlic salt all over it to make a sandwich is another favorite of mine. 

For some reason my favorite type of mac n cheese is the stuff from the box (annie's organic though, but I'll do easy mac too).  Plus I HATE bell peppers, and only like tomatoes if they are in a sauce, or somehow liquefied.

On basically everything that I would put a condiment on, if on hand, I prefer salsa or sriracha to catsup or mustard. Salsa fries are so much more kickass than regular.

That gives me the idea to put sweet chili sauce on french fries.

been done, used to do it all the time, moved on to hotter sauces now.
highly recommended

Would curry powder and tarragon in scrambled eggs count?

I guess I just don't know what an "eccentric" food habit is, anymore.

That gives me the idea to put sweet chili sauce on french fries.

I miss sweet chilli sauce, I haven't seen it in North America yet, and I am eating college food so I don't actually cook so getting some may be kinda redundant.

eta:
also whoever suggested tabasco sauce and coke (a while back), I thank you, it is awesome

[Jasper]

Tabasco flavored coca cola?  Damn, not sure I'd try that.

I must try it.

Additionally, I do wish sweet chili sauce came in hotter varieties.  Sweet habanero sauce is good, I've made it, but it's not something I'd eat regularly.

- piece of chocolate dipped in hummus. not as bad as you think, especially not if you had a few drinks and proclaim that "EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH HUMMUS".

- bacon+cheese pancakes, with molasses syrup.

- speaking of Brie (or Camembert), that shit would be pretty good with some red jam on toast.

In semi-related "fuck yes I gotta try this sometime" news, my book on molecular gastronomy tells me that if you mix camembert and Vermouth properly, you will get the right amount of fat/water/protein mixture as milk cream and you can whip it into fluffy awesome like whipped cream.
