We were just laughing about this very subject last week. BF and I have been enjoying pancakes the past few weeks... kinda on a kick plus it's been hot here so they're easy to fix.
I remember as a kid my mom making pancakes for dinner, with sausage of course. Even as hard as my dad worked in the factory he like breakfast for dinner. BF has to have eggs with his pancakes... icky... but I remember my mom to serving canned pork and beans with her pancakes. I remember her telling us that that's what she was raised on during the depression when times were hard and money was tight. They were lucky to even have that to eat during rations, but that's only because they farmed and ate what they grew for the most part.

I really like white rice with chocolate syrup on it! I learned this from my Grandpa; he grew up eating this as a sweet treat when he was a child.

I think it looks very good. I would put peanut butter on just about anything....pancakes,waffles,toast, apples, bananas. I have to be careful not to gross out my husband, he doesn't like peanut butter:)

First of all I have to say that I absolutely love your blog. I have found so many wonderful recipes to add to my once boring recipe book, but not anymore thanks to you!
My 9 year old daughter has come up with a combination that is really quite good! Rice with soft serve ice cream. We were at a chinese buffet and she came back to the table with this dish. We all commented on the odd combination, which got our curiosity going enough to get some ourselves; we all loved it. It has now become a common dessert for all of us at home.

I love pancakes with hot fudge.
My dad likes applesauce on his pancakes.
My hubby grosses me out with this one-peanut butter and pickles on toast. I don't eat either peanut buttter or pickles. just the smell...

Ummm... I grew up eating cottage cheese drizzled with (or drenched in, depending on who did the pouring) syrup. Loved it then, can't even fathom it now!

One of my favorite quick stove top dishes is fried potatoes and chopped hot dogs with onions, all stir fried together. With ketchup! Yum!

Grilled Cheese - with a slice of fresh tomato and tuna inside. Mmmmm!

I also LOVE peanut butter and banana sandwiches, which I never thought was strange until I starting meeting lots of people who've never heard of such a thing. Everyone in my family eats them!

My sister is the one with the "strange" taste buds at our house;

~ketchup on eggs
~crumbled cheesies on ice cream
~black pepper on everything
~chili sauce on baked potatoes - (I like this one too!)

Out of all the other comments on here so far, "bacon and peanut butter sandwich" caught my attention the most. I can't IMAGINE that one!

But taste buds are rather fun to compare. :) Maybe I'll have to try some of these combos. :)

Tammy, I think your meal looks great. We love fried cabbage too and your omlette looks yummy. Can't wait to see what's in that soup though!

Some of my crazy combos:
1. Miracle whip on Saltines
2. cottage cheese and apple butter mixed
3. sour cream on corn
4. maple syrup on breakfast sausage
5. molasses stirred into soy milk
6. french fries dipped in vanilla ice cream
7. butter and Worchestershire sauce sandwiches
8. baked potatoes with steak sauce

I love meatloaf wrapped in lettuce leaves with LOTS of sourkraut. :-) Yummy!

My favorite sandwich is peanut butter and bananas!

I really like the fried mush recipe in Nourishing Traditions. It is leftover porridge or oatmeal mixed with an egg. Lightly cook it in a buttered skillet and top with honey! It is so good! I never thought that I would like it but it tastes so good!!

I love syrup on my scrambled eggs, and thousand island dressing on my tacos. My mom has always eaten ketchup on her enchiladas. I thought it was disgusting until a couple of years ago, until I had the strangest craving for a bowl of chili with ketchup on top. Now, I can't eat a bowl of chili or chili and rice without ketchup! Crazy, I know. No telling what I'm going to crave when I do get pregnant:) Watch out world!

We like...

Apple jelly on cheese omlettes
ketchup on scrambled eggs
pancake syrup and peanut butter stirred together spread on saltines or ritz crackers
cream cheese and green olive sandwiches
peach jam on pork chops
oatmeal and scrambled eggs mixed together, topped with brown sugar
cottage cheese and french salad dressing

These are rare treats these days of calorie watching and carb counting. Thanks for the memories!!

sandwich with bacon and I think it sounds great and forgot about it.I want to try it!

I grew up with a very strange step-brother...I think he mostly liked to gross us out. He would drink grape kool-aid and pickle juice. For lunch he would make a peanut butter, jelly, mayo, mustard, bologna and cheese sandwich. I was never brave enough to try those combos but I did try and like a fried egg, butter, peanut butter sandwich. Also my FIL made a breakfast sandwich for me and my daughter that we now love. Toasted bread, scrambled eggs, bacon and jelly ....yum!

My Uncle likes his hot dogs served with mustard and strawberry jam. I can't eat strawberries, so I have no idea if this strange concoction is actually good.
Somehow...I doubt it.:)

My Dad's favorite sandwich is peanut butter and mustard. My Mom eats peanut butter, iceberg lettuce and potato chip sandwiches (actually pretty good). I came up with this when I was little and I still sometimes get a craving for saltines with a slice of cheese and topped with either dill pickles or green olives. :)

I thought I had nothing unique to add to this until I saw tammy mention saltines. I like crumbled crackers with diced tomato mixed in and mayo mixed in the whole thing. Its good!!

My husband got me started on chocolate ice cream with barbque corn chips. Its very good. When I was younger my mom and I used to eat fried potato sandwiches on white bread with mayo or ketchup. Yummy.

My DH likes mustard on his pizza!!!

Last night we had falafels for dinner. The day didn't go as planned though and I didn't make pitas to put them in, so we had them with fettuccine and a tomato salad. We've been experimenting with beans and that's been fun - and the falafels were delicious and got rave reviews. Of course, they were fried in oil...that'll help anything taste great.

I enjoyed reading everyone's favorite unusual combination! It brought back a lot of memories of stuff I used to enjoy as a child! I'd never thought of the food I ate as "unusual", until I married a traditional man who's idea was, "If it's not a recipe in a cookbook, it's not a real dish!" :-) Here are some things that I grew up on...
~Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich on Toast
~Cottage Cheese topped with Applesauce
~Apples and Popcorn- served in the same bowl so you never know what you'll get when you grab, the sweet or the salty!
~Sliced Apples with Cheddar Cheese slices on top
~Chocolate Pudding with salted Sunflower Seeds
~Peanut Butter and Chocolate Syrup on Pancakes
~Apples dipped in peanut butter
~Graham crackers in a bowl, topped with milk, eaten like cereal.
~Leftover baked goods (cake, cornbread, etc.) put in a bowl with milk poured over. This was my brother's favorite breakfast the day after a birthday!

My dad always ate sliced tomatoes with sugar sprinkled heavily on them. I never aquired a taste for that one, though! And my mom loved sliced bread topped with meat gravy.
