Odd Eating Habits (and other oddities)

Another delicacy in Indonesia:

In the covered market in Jogjakarta they sell bats, smoked. They're only about three inches long, like skeletal brown mice. Supposedly taste like beef jerky.

 

Oh Rats!! If I had known that I would have made you a Wendys 'scratch and sniff' card whilst I was in N.I. Too late now I guess!

 

most definately mayo, didn't think it was an odd thing.

 

A Japanese missionary to Thailand recently brought us some sembei (rice crackers for the uninitiated) that had two flavors: konomiyaki (a kind of non-sweet pancake with veggies, shrimp, etc. in it) and takoyaki (fried dough balls with octopus in it). Yum!

 

The standard for burgers in Texas seems to be mustard. I found that odd when I first got here, although I don't mind mustard on burgers.

 

Forget the catsup / ketchup and go for

Pinto beans with chopped onions, chow-chow and corn bread. My, oh my, that's some goooood eatin'!:laugh:

 

Maybe try them with the tabasco

 

My daughter brought a boyfriend home and he just sat there crunching ice. I said "son, where you live", He said "I live up this little hill". Last time I saw the poor fellow.. I think he lived across the river...............:laugh: :laugh:

 

Smoked horse from the island of Kyushu is delicious. How do you smoke a horse? Well you start with a really big cigarette paper.... :smilewinkgrin:

 

There's peanut butter, jelley, cheese and balogna sandwiches.

There's pizza with an egg on top.

There's tortilla with lunch meat and cheese - I call it a torwich :thumbs:

And there's always tums for the tummy :laugh:

 

Back in the early 1960s, Dr. Pepper had an ad campaign promoting hot Dr. Pepper. The ads suggesting bringing the Dr. Pepper to a simmer (not yet to a boil), and drink it like coffee.

I tried it, and boy did it go down easy. But it lost some of the taste in the process. The ad campaign fizzled out.

 

In the South we call that larrupin'--in other words, so good it'll make your teeth itch.

 

Tom,

It had to have been later than the early 60's because I remember seeing ads in Ladies magazines for it -- in the winter maybe? To serve on a cold winter's night? It had little slices of lemon sitting on top of the drink. I can't believe I would remember something like that from the early 60's.

 

A former pastor of mine put tabasco sauce on his french fries.

When I was a kid, I put catchup (or ketchup) (or catsup) with a lot of stuff.

Catsup on scrambled or fried eggs.
Catsup on blackeyed peas
Catsup on mashed potatoes.

 

I put mustard (dijon) on my fried eggs.

I'm from Texas, so mustard on burgers is a standard. When we moved to the real south, I was shocked to find anything else on them :laugh:

 

Ruin those black-eyed peas whydoncha! That's what we make homemake corn relish for!
