Odd Condiment Combinations...

Maybe not too weird...

Pretzels and mustard

Egss and mustard

Nothing condiment-wise, but I did accidently pour orange juice over my granola once and ended up really liking it.

I don't think it's weird, but most people don't like it when I put ketchup on my eggs.

i also like grape or strawberry jelly on a toasted ham and cheese, or turkey and cheese sandwich.

I have HP sauce on my eggs!

When I was in college and we always ate at the cafeteria, this girl I knew got me into eating sandwiches with peanut butter and cheez whiz. They were actually pretty good though I wouldn't go out of my way to buy the ingredients to make them now.
Also, whenever I make tuna sandwiches, I always mix in slices of pickle with the tuna and mayonnaise, which maybe isn't all that strange I guess.
My ex-boyfriend used to put french dressing on his pizza though - gross!

I used to eat grape jelly and American cheese sandwiches..haven't had one in awhile..still sounds good though.Geddy - I'll have to try it toasted with ham.Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
I also put mayo on hot dogs and ketchup on baked potatoes.I've gotten a few stares for that....huh,at least I HOPE that's why they were staring

Well, I made a chicken stirfry sauce the other night out of the following ingredients:

Smooth peanut butter
Soy sauce
Duck sauce
Mustard

... and it was rather nice, too Even my husband said so...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, duck sauce..

We do stir fries all the time - but what, prithee, is duck sauce?

I'm a bit of a condiment hog myself, eg. hot dogs with chilli and garlic sauce, bbq sauce and roasted onions. yes, on the one dog.

Also plum sauce, raw garlic and Lancashire relish on lamb chops! Unbeatable. Raw garlic makes you strong!

Matthew, I too am an Aussie who had never encountered duck sauce...

until I landed here in b**f**k, Connecticut... anyway the best way I can describe it, is as some exotic sauce that you get sachets of when you get Chinese takeaway in these parts....

(That said; TAKE ME HOME... I want to be back in Brisbane or Melbourne, or Auckland for that matter!!!! for reasons not worth the forum's bandwidth to explain. I just want to be anywhere but here... sorry folks I love the US but my current situation is just not worth it sorry... sorry)

Thanks for the clarification!

While we're on US chinese take away - we always see people eating from cardboard boxes on the TV. What do they do with wet dishes, like, say, beef and blackbean?

As for coming home - I've just had 3 weeks on the beach at Taree, surf and fishing every day. I don't envy you the snow and cold. Did I mention how many prawns we put away?

Cheers from Canberra, where the bushfire smoke was so thick last night that the moon was a dull red.

Kia Kaha - just reviewed my last post and realised I am an insensitive bas.....

Sorry to hear your personal situation is miserable. I won't add some 'chin up' platitude, but you have my best wishes.

PS. I thought B*t*f**k was in Iowa, if I recall my Bill Bryson correctly.

Well, I'm with Betty on the pretzels and mustard, thing, but I think that's TOTALLY normal for Germans. Especially if the pretzels are still warm and soft. MMMMM! (Am I right Silke? Or it that just a b*stardization I picked up during my beer drinking daze at Der Essen Haus in Madison, Wisconsin? lol)

I'm also gonna co-sign with Geddy on the ketchup and eggs combo. YUM YUM! Hot Sauce is also good on eggs (any brand of "cajun cayenne pepper sauce"... red hot, red dot, etc. It wasn't around too much where I grew up, but it's ubiquitous in the south--cheap too--about 50 cents a bottle) but I do draw the line at mustard. BLEAGH. Also, Jenn-- Pickles are a MUST with tuna salad.

Some people eat grape jelly on their egg mcmuffins. Icky! I think the rapper Notorious B.I.G. had a line about "cheese eggs and welch's grape" in one of his songs, even. So maybe it's a "Black thang." Speaking of which, that is the culture from which I learned to like hot sauce on pop corn and ketchup on potato chips (crisps, that is). Pretty good stuff!

My son eats mayonnaise and hotsauce on his ham sandwiches. It's pretty good. I think he'd put A-1 Steak Sauce on hot dogs or bologna sandwiches if it ever occurred to him... he LOVES that stuff. It tastes like pepsi to me. *ptooie*

Vegemite (or in a pinch, Marmite) is good with mayonnaise on a turkey sandwich. But, then again, everyone I know thinks it's nasty even with buttery toast... that's alright; more for me!!

Nope, you're both wrong. It's definitely in Egypt.

Not a condiment I guess but a wired food thing, apparently. I have a gross habit of eating cold baked beans from a can (cold anything really) which makes my hubby want to barf if he catches me......now where did I put my spoon?

A scientist I worked with a few years back ALWAYS has gravy on his lunch - even when it's salad .

I thought it was Idaho, not Iowa....but, I'm sure some people would say the same about Minnesota.

Promite on a slice of apple - strangely good.

(For non Aussies, Promite is a cousin of vegemite).

Sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with things Kia Kaha, hope they improve soon.

Not sure I'd ever find myself at the 'Mite family reunion.....

I think that eating Chinese out of the cartons is only on TV. Two of those cartons have plain steamed rice, and the rest have saucy things. I'm thinking you need to assemble them on an actual plate. Digging into a carton of steamed rice doesn't sound too appealing.

salad cream on sandwiches instead of butter/marg spread. Yum Especially with beetroot sandwiches. Double yum

My nine year old son eats ketchup on mashed potatoes if I don't make gravy...he also puts it on macaroni and cheese. I'm a big fan of chunky peanut butter and cranberry sauce sandwiches, too. My boy once made a ketchup and Sugar Pops sandwich too and declared it "delicious" although he's never eaten another.

I forgot my very favorite breakfast: a stack of pancakes with a fried egg nestled inside and Aunt Jemima Lite syrup all over the top. Brekkie of champions!
