    Or a COVID test if you’ve still got one knocking about

    No one with taste buds over the age of 8 does this

    Some weird combinations work. My favorite example is grape jelly and chili sauce mixed at 50/50 each and slow cooked over meatballs. Sounds crazy but actually really tasty.

    For my wife it was a hot dog and M&Ms jellybeans for breakfast. It was after that, we found out she was preggish.

    Edit: My wife corrected me.

    My father used to make mayonnaise and oreo sandwiches (but just the cookie, not the cream filling).

    Maybe he was pregnant the whole time!

    This looks like those Japanese grape sandwiches, that could be some type of sweet cream. If mayo then god help us all.

  • I have a weird one I like too. If you’re willing to try random food crimes, eventually something works out. It’s not based on “this sounds good”, rather a curiosity, “what does this do together”.
    Only try in small volumes!

    Last time, I tried sour gummy worms with Olivier (?) potato salad. That was not one of those. It wasn’t bad, their taste was just too weak to do anything, and the texture doesn’t fit.

    But one that I do like is poppy seed roll with ketchup.

    My grandmother used to eat pear -> bit of mayo -> cheddar cheese. (It didn’t taste too bad actually)

    She was 93, so I doubt she was pregnant.

        One of my favorite pies to make is a cheddar pear pie. Partially because the flavors work so well together, partially to see the weird looks about the name go away the moment they go ahead and try it. You don’t even taste the cheese at all but it adds to it in a subtle way.

    What’s the correlation with weird food and pregnancy?

    Just when I think I’m starting to get a handle on the oddities of women and now you pull out that they start eating grapes and mayo or m&m hotdogs when pregnant.

      My mom has always hated fish. She can’t even stand the smell of it so avoids any restaurant that’s even mildly seafood. Been like that her whole life.

      Except for when she was pregnant with my sister and she had my dad run to McDonald’s at all hours of the day to get her a filet o fish.
