Pepper my melon

  • May. 1st, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Angry Chewing
So [info]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 family's divided into "Grapefruit: Salt or Sugar?" I was in the sugar camp until grapefruit became a forbidden food.

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 like sandwiches made of pimento cheese and bbq potato chips.

I also put ketchup on both scrambled eggs and cottage cheese.

Ok, I was with you on the scrambled eggs (the only way they were edible in the college dorm was with condiments) although I prefer salsa. But how does one discover the cottage cheese/ketchup combo?

There a bizarre sprinkle you can get to put on your fruit.

Chili, lime, and salt. Lots of chili.

I believe it's an acquired taste.

I just drooled on myself. Wow. I loves me Mexican/Indian/Thai food, and the combination of chili and lime ON fruit sounds MADE OF AWESOME.

See? This is what I'm talking about! The compulsive "I can't even think about eating ______ without ______."

Any specific kind of mac and cheese? Homemade? Blue box?

It's related to a ragweed allergy.

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.

I eat scrambled eggs with ketchup, salami sandwiches with mayonnaise, and to my husband's disgust, pasta with cottage cheese. (It's good, although not a favorite food.)

I put salt on cucumber slices, or a little bit of white vinegar. I put mustard on those big soft pretzels. I thought I had some others but they're fleeing my mind...

Oh, my grandma does that with cucumbers. It's tasty.

Try caviar and creme freche (or sour cream) on cucumbers. You will die.

Almost anything -savory.-
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.)

Well now we just need to make a muffin for garlic aioli. :D

(Do you roast it in the oven? That is NUMMY STUFF right there...)

Baked bean and tuna fish sandwiches. Preferably on rye or pumpernickel, but wheat works. White really doesn't--ou need a bread that can compete with the filling.

I ate it whenever I could during college. It was a cheap protein hit.

Peanut butter mixed with yogurt. When I'm feeling really decadent, I add granola and chocolate chips.

Cheddar cheese on apple pie.

Sharp cheese and dark chocolate.

Plain baked bean sandwiches. Gotta do something with the leftovers.

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!
