So
melissajm started a very interesting disgustion discussion in a different post about food and weird, habitual combinations.
I put pepper on cantaloupe, which is a habit I acquired from my maternal grandfather. He salts and peppers almost any kind of melon. Angel puts honey on his cantoloupe. Both of us think the other person is disgusting.
(Sidenote: cantaloupe makes my mouth itch, which makes me doubly-weird.)
My mother eats her favorite Jell-O salad (lime Jell-O, marshmallows, nuts and other assorted awfulness) with mayonnaise.
Your turn! *hee hee*

My dad puts mayonnaise on pancakes. I put garlic aioli on almost anything.
That really needs clarifying. You don't put it on muffins, do you??
I also put ketchup on both scrambled eggs and cottage cheese.
Chili, lime, and salt. Lots of chili.
I believe it's an acquired taste.
Any specific kind of mac and cheese? Homemade? Blue box?
These symptoms are most likely due to something known as an oral allergy syndrome, in this case caused by melons. The oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is a form of food allergy that is caused by a person having an allergy to particular pollen. The pollen, in this case ragweed pollen, has similar proteins (called profilins) found in a certain fruit, in this case melons, which causes a person to be allergic to both.
But normal. ;)
Try caviar and creme freche (or sour cream) on cucumbers. You will die.
Although corn muffins might not be too bad.
I put garlic powder on popcorn, eat pickled garlic from the jar...it's amazing that anyone comes near me at cons. ;)
(Seriously: If you like it, garlic powder's a great salt substitute. So's lemon juice.)
(Do you roast it in the oven? That is NUMMY STUFF right there...)
I ate it whenever I could during college. It was a cheap protein hit.
Cheddar cheese on apple pie.
Sharp cheese and dark chocolate.
Grapefruit straight. Peel 'em and eat 'em like an orange.
Plain tonic water.
Brussel sprouts, and proud of it.
Brother #2 salted his tomatoes. Or surgared. I can't remember which. Brother #1 has developed a strange taste for deep-fried dill pickles.
This is fun!
