Wow, that’s weird about the Swedish relatives with the jelly. Insert Twilight Zone theme here.

I do not understand ketchup on eggs either.

The one odd thing I do is logical to me. I put maple syrup on eggs (and most omlettes?) and hashbrowns.
My mom used to make pancakes and eggs with the eggs sometimes between the pancakes, so the eggs would get syrup on them. It became automatic to put syrup on eggs even when I started to eat omlettes. Most restaurants put hashbrowns with omlettes. The syrup runs into the hashbrowns softening them up.

Now my mom was kinda odd. She put jelly on the bread of her homemade hamburgers. Chokecherry jelly was the best. We could not figure out where she got the idea. Her brothers, parents and grandparents never did. In 2006, mom and dad, her older brother and s-i-l went to Sweden to visit relatives we have never met. Once of the groups of relatives also put jelly on their hamburger.

Mmm, Cindi. You made me remember sugar and cinnamon toast with butter. I used to love that!

My grandmother made me yummy butter and sugar sandwiches on plain old white bread (very squishy!);my aunt made some fun kind of drink that was like a fizzie made with baking soda (?) which I also loved – but I don’t remember how to make them now! My sister loved mayo & onion sandwiches (ugh!) – big, thick slices of white onions. I think I hate onions.

I was craving the mayo, eggs and cheese combo all day, ER.

This is a fun topic!

I don’t consider ketchup and eggs a weird combo, but maybe it is because I like ketchup and eggs combo. Though I don’t mind the norm of just eggs and a piece of toast.

A weird combo would be mayo and eggs sandwich. Mayo, eggs, and cheese sandwich. Yum. Makes me want to whip one up and eat it.

(Alas, my mom will disapprove of me for eating it. Sad but true.)

Never had a spaghetti sandwich, Robin, but my mom always fried the spaghetti leftovers to warm them up before the days of microwaves and that was the BEST spaghetti ever.

Gotcha, KarenH!

I can see where hot dogs on pizza would appeal, SuzyQ , especially to kids. And DHs.

I really don’t have any weird combos but DH likes cut up hot dogs on pizza. The first time he told me to make it that way I thought he was kidding. Now he has the kids liking it too.

I’ve been reading these posts all day and shuddering … but then every once in a while, I’d read something, start to shudder, and then think, “Hm. Why not?”

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to put ketchup on my eggs and make a spaghetti sandwich.

How about fried bologna and a fried egg on 2 pieces of white bread, and add mustard. For breakfast. LOL

I also like ketchup on fried potatos (but not eggs!).

Once when I had to stop eating butter or margarine for almost a year, I ate ketchup on my baked potato and that was fine too for me.

My dh eats chocolate oreo’s and potato chips. He also likes spaghetti sandwiches.

I guess my weirdest thing (that most people make fun of me for) is that I don’t drink milk anymore and had stopped eating cereal (which I loved) and then after 5 years, I saw John Tesh who used to be on Entertainment Tonight and he was eating water on his cereal. I tried it and liked it so thats what I’ve done for over 10 years now. You have to start with sweet cereal like Froot Loops or Capt Crunch. Once you get used to the taste, you can then move on to Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies….
