    Something for everyone at --
    
    Every time I go to Quincy Market, it's banana burrito time!
    
    I love peanut butter, jelly and banana rolled up in a flour
    tortilla!  YUM!

    PEANUT BUTTER AND MAYO SANDWICHS.
    

    oh sharon,
    thanks for starting this.
    
    my mother eats... peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches.
    
    and i eat: peanut butter, tomato, and mayo on whole wheat.

    carrots, peeled and salted, wrapped in a slice of very soft bread
    (like wonder) -squished all over so it is like dough, the
    crusts cut off and smeared with margarine!
    
    love it
    
    Bonnie

    
    Steit's whole wheat matzos dipped in Carl T. Englishs'
    Triple Alarm SF Firehouse BBQ sauce...

    peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, preferably on white toast, but
    the bacon's cooked, of course...
    

    
    tuna fish with mustard (dijon preferable) on whole wheat
    

    Some people have thought me demented for doing so, but I, and
    everyone in my family puts salt and pepper on cottage cheese.
    
    (We also put s&p on cantelope.)

    	What was I thinking to read this before my morning coffee??
    
    
    	Well, at least I'm not hungry now . . .
    
    
    	Keep 'em coming!!  It's worth it see the grins through the groans!
    
    	Sharon

    RE: -1
    
    Thanks... I thought I was the only *getting ill* :-)
    
    love to see the different combo's though....

    A couple of scoops of chocolate ice cream in a half a cantalope.
    
    It should be noted that I don't like cantelope very much without
    the ice cream.
    
    
    My father and my daughter like cottage cheese with ketchup. My
    father spreads it on toast, but Kat prefers hers on lettuce.
    
    Another family favorite, usually reserved for snacking after
    Thanksgiving dinner, is saltines spread with leftover cranberry
    sauce and topped with a dab of whipped cream. 
    
    --bonnie

    Beans and brown rice.
    (Not too keen on sprouts, though)

    Spagetti withOUT sauce!  (But extra butter and grated cheese!)
    
    Macaroni & Cheese and Cambell's chicken noodle soup (YUM!!!)
    
    Mostly I like my food plain (no gravy on mashed potatoes, etc).
    
    K.C.
    

    I like cream-cheese-and-olive sandwiches.
    
    I used to like tuna-fish-with-sweet-pickle-slices sandwiches.
    
    Another fave was a float made of ginger ale, grape tang (remember
    grape tang?) and lemon sherbet.  The grape tang would foam up in
    red and blue speckles, too.
    
    What's that line from "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" or somewhere
    like that...."I've had weirder things than you for breakfast"?

    Salt on watermelon
    
    Tabasco Sauce on French fries (not only tastes good but keeps
    				   people from 'stealing' them :-))

    Plain ketchup sandwich
    
    The previously mentioned peanut butter and bacon sandwich

    Dill Pickles dipped in clam dip.  I eat this before, during
    and after my pregnancy!
    
    re:  Jody
    
    Cream cheese and olive sandwiches!  You brought back such good
    memories for me.  In first grade, I used to trade my ham and
    cheese for that!  Yum - I gotta have one now.
    
    Dorothy

    
    That was my supper last night...cream cheese and spanish olives
    on whole wheat. yummmm.
    
    Tuna with pickles, a little mayo and 'tater chips crunched on top
    of the tuna....more yummmm.
    
    am

    Tuna fish on a toasted bagel covered with jalepeno peppers.
    Yum!

    My daughter drinks ...
    
    Pepsi or Coke with Milk.
    
    I like Tomato Juice with Beer.. (called in some places a REDEYE!)
    
    Dave

    Coffee ice cream with potato chips
    
    P.
    

    
    any pasta with lots of butter and ketchup...
    
    I'll second the peanut butter and mayo, and it's great to add bologna
    too...
    
    now, i"m going to try bacon and peanut butter...
    
    SandieD

    Next time you try the peanut butter and bacon, add strawberry jam.
    YUMMM!!!
    
    More goodies, bologna and potato salad with dill pickles, mustard
    and mayo on pumpernickle.  Then there's pickled cucumber slices
    mayo and lettuce on whole wheat.  Or how about cream cheese with
    cherries, raisins, and pineapple on wheat?  It's incredible!

    	RE: 217.8
    
    	I love tuna and mustard together.
    
    	RE: 217.9
    
    	I don't eat salt on anything, but I love to eat cottage cheese
    	with pepper and diced onion in it.
    
    	Scott (bad breath alert!!!)

    I like plain food, and I think all this stuff you people eat is
    yucky!  :-)  I always pick my food apart so I don't get anything
    yucky such as grizzle.  After I eat a sandwich there is a little
    mountain of bread crumbs and grizzle on my plate.  I pick those
    little round fatty things out of hamburgers.  I hate condiments
    - relish, mustard, catsup, MAYONAISE (aaahhh!!!)  I never eat the
    yellow in fried or boiled eggs.  I never eat meat unless it's welldone.
     I won't eat anything I don't like just to be polite.  
    
    My favorite foods are lobster, steamers, and Haagendaise (sp!)
    chocolate ice cream.  I also *love* Hood's fudgicles.  It has to
    be Hood's - other brands just don't taste the same.  I had 3 at
    Canobie Lake.
    
    I do, however, have a coke in the morning.  First thing when I get
    up I have a big glass of coke classic.  My only addiction.  I love
    it.  I think Coke Classic is the best tasting stuff in the world.
    
    Lorna
    
    
    

    my dad likes peanutbutter, bacon and raw onion.
    
    and i have a friend who _loves_ marshmallow fluff and peanutbutter...
    first he eats a spoon full of p.b. followed by a spoon of m.f. but
    he can't _stand_ to eat them together.
    
    liz

    well, liz, *my* dad likes butter on chocolate cake.
    
    DougO

    Lorna I pick those little fatty things out of my hamburgers too...
    
    Gawd some of these combos are nauseating....
    
    

    My coworker's husband mixes the following:
    
    Cottage Cheese and Ketchup on Rotini pasta noodles.
    
    I personally like:
    Peas, macaroni, tuna, and Mayo....my kids get ill and call it "gunk".
    
    Here's a gourmet dish:
    
    Garlic, Minced onions & greenpepper, Oregano, simmered in Olive
    Oil and mixed hot with spagetti. Use hot bread to dip in the oil
    too!!!!! (true health food)
    
    Ken

my dad used to eat pepper sandwiches. white sliced bread spread with 
butter and *covered* with black pepper. he liked ketchup sandwiches, 
too, but i think someone already mentioned that. 

i used to like butter on saltines, but, thankfully, i've lost my taste 
for that. 

    mashed potatoes with mustard (the plain yellow kind)
    
    ice cream with potato chips
    
    Franco-American spaghetti
    
    7-Up and orange juice, about half-and-half    

    i have a question --
    
    where do you people dream up this stuff??
    ick.. gross... seems peanut butter is a real versatile staple here...
    
    where di bacon and peanut butter originate??  was there nothing
    in the house but these two items??
    
    anything with warm tuna makes be gag instantly...
    
    do your mothers/fathers force feed you this stuff when you were
    young and you happened to enjoy after a while..
    
    fill me in ..
    
    ick, 
    
    toni

    Well, I don't eat anything like this at all....;-) 
    
    But my daugther eats, lemons, with salt.  And her best sandwich
    according to her, is peanut butter, jelly, and dill pickles chips...
    
    She also put ketchup on EVERYTHING, pizza, eggs, sandwichs, you
    name is and she won't eat it unless it has ketchup.  Try making
    a great dinner, and watch you daughter turn off everybody at the
    table by drowning her dish with Ketchup.... ugh....

    RE .22
    	
    Dill pickle slices between potato chips -  YAY!!!!
    

My younger brother used to eat cottage cheese and strawberry jelly sandwiches.
I never cared for that, but I always used to like peanut butter and cream
cheese.  Well, now I'm an adult and have to watch my calories.  So I eat
peanut butter and Neufchatel cheese instead.

					--Q (Dick Wagman)

    Dill pickles and a big glass of milk.
    
    I used to be into mustard sandwiches, just mustard on white bread,
    yum. But I like spam sandwiches too...
    
    Gail
    

    re: .15 - all right, Cream cheese and Olive sandwiches, good stuff
    
    and
    
    re: . 28 Try P Butter, Marshmallow (A.K.A. Fluffnutter), and Jelly
          or Jam on a triple decker sandwiche....
    
    Than there is the all time Holiday favorite my mom used to make,
    you take the pears you buy in a can drain the syrup and place them
    with the groove facing up and fill the groove with Mayo, I always
    look forward to these at Thanksgiving and Christmas......
    
    Another food, although it isn't too weird its name is Pink Puke.
    
    My friend originally made it, it was a childhood dessert and she
    still makes it once in while. Has strawberry Jello, Vanilla Ice
    Cream and WHipped Cream all mixed together.....Yummy
    
    
    
    TammyG

    Sheesh--
    
    I *did* have a strong stomach, but some of you folks' combos set
    it rooooooooooooooooooooolling!!
    
    As a kid, I loved potatochip sandwiches--butter two slices of white
    bread (the squashy kind you can make little balls with) and pile
    potato chips on one;  fit the other on top and SMASH the whole thing
    down.
    
    These days I love chocolate and cheese.  (What's so strange about
    that??)  My best breakfast ever--chocolate croissants with string
    cheese.
    
    ..don't tell my mom but I still love those horrible Easter eggs--the
    neon-colored ones with that crunchy fake marshmallow inside...
    
    Some things never change.
    
    Jane

    just had to mention - Ally Sheedy's "basket case" character in the
    movie "The Breakfast Club" had some sort of bologna-meat sandwich
    (looked like with butter).  She opened it, removed the bologna,
    threw it away (vertically - and it stuck, too), poured Captain Crunch
    onto the sandwich along with the contents of a Pixy Stix or two,
    and proceeded to eat her lunch....
    
    talk about weird....
    
    -Jody
    

    I love baked ham and pineapple slice sandwiches with mustard.
    
    Another of my favorites is half a cantelope filed with crabmeat
    salad. yum ....yum....

    
    One of my favorite sandwhiches is made up of peanut butter, marshmallow
    and potato chips.
    
    Another old favorite is a Ham and Mustard sandwhich on Raisin Bread.
    
    Probably the worst combination of food I eat is Kool-aid and dill
    pickles.  This was especially true around the time I was pregnant.
    Just couldn't get enough.  I don't have as big an urge for this
    now, but once in a while...
    
    Beckie
   

    I've got it!  Here's one from my grandmother.  Beat several eggwhites
    until stiff add fresh raspberries to taste, beat some more, add
    sugar to taste, beat some more.  Do not cook eat plain or as a topping.

I love peanut butter toast with honey and rasins. It's like
eating natural honey with the bees still there. YUM!

cal

    
    
    Boy, you people are crazy!
    
       Now for a real gourmet delight try...
           Dill pickles (Kosher of course) and milk or
           Big fat Hot Dogs and Tapioca and Tab (or Chocolate milk)
    
    Nanci

                           


    
    All these peanut butter lovers - I can't resist..
    
    	PB & Jelly and potato chips
        PB & Mayo with or w/o peanuts
        PB & onions
     And are you ready for this
        PB & Tuna fish!
    
     My favorite pizza is black olive and anchovy and one of my favorite
     snacks is chocolate covered potato chips. 
        

	And of coursw, PB with banana on wheat (the _heavy_ kind my sister
used to bake) with fresh honey dripped all over it.  Part of the fun is
eating around the edges    quickly  before the honey dribbles al over
the place.

			Michael

Of course getting the honey can be an adventure  8{)

    We used to eat PB spread on kosher dills 
    to keep from getting sea sick,  or crackers
    with PB and jalapeno slices. And from Girl Scout days, 
    core an apple and fill it with PB.
    
    My mom and dad used to  make us a salad with lettuce, tomato,
    banana, mayo and PB, it was called some kind of angel salad. 
    
    and I thought I was the only one that ate peanut butter and bacon
    on toast...  Peanut butter is a major food group.

From "Vibration Cooking" by Verta Mae [Grovner] (who may be often heard
today as a contributor to All Things Considered).  Doubleday, 1970.

"To tell the truth, I ain't never had no serious job working from nine
to five.  The ones I had I didn't keep cause my nevers would not take it.
It's just not my rhythm...  not my style.  I have had some freakish jobs.
I used to sew for a photographer.  I made special effects such as aprons
for elephants and six-sleeved shirts for a shirt ad.  But my cooking jobs
were the funniest.  I remember, "Obedella, Obedella, I want to be your fella!"
That's what Jean use dto say every time I came to work.  Obedella was my
new name since I had become to  cook in Pee Wee's Slave Trade Kitchen.
It didn't last long.  But everyone dug my cooking.  One of the things
that everything dug was chicken in peanut butter sauce.  It is a West African
dish sometimes called

				Ground Nut Stew

Cut up and season and saute the chicken in peanut oil.  When brown,
add chopped bell [green] pepper and chopped onions.  When the onions
are transparent, add red pepper and chicken broth and lots chunky-style
peanut butter.  Sauce should be on the stiff side.  Serve with rice or
plantain.

    Liver and chocolate sauce!

    I am a liberal, and flexible woman who is open to a wide

    My favorite midnight snack is homemade chili con-carne with crumbled
    blue cheese, and sliced fresh strawberries... YUM YUM, and it's even
    good cold !!!
    
    I like blue cheese dressing on taco's, with tabasco sauce and hot
    peppers.
    
    As for liver with chocolate sauce, try it with ketchup and crumbled
    oreo cookies, it's much better

    Favorite weird veggie combo, a salad made from steamed brussel sprouts,
    canned lima beans, and chick peas...just like a 3 bean salad !!!!

    Your "gunk" is a staple of the diet at our house.  
    
    I have just concluded that I must be terminally wierd.  About 90%
    of the stuff in this string is stuff I have eaten at one time or
    another. 
    
    Did anybody mention using honey as dip for potato chips?  Yummy.
    
    --bonnie

    
    My grandmother loves - grilled cheese with bologna, onions, tomatoes
                           and mayo.
    
    My grandfather loves - meatloaf, peanut butter and mustard.
    
    Like he says, it all ends up in the same spot.
    

    wheat bread with peanut butter, honey, and sharp cheddar
    
    a complete meal

I also love pickles and potato chip sandwiches.

My FAVORITE is super chunky peanut butter melted and poured over
chocolate ice cream!  It's kind of like a peanut butter cup only
better.

I've also started eating a chldhood favorite that my daddy and I
liked, sliced cucumber in vinegar.  Now that I'm a "grown-up" I
have 'em in different varieties of vinegar.

One of my nephews loved butter on french fries and his mom liked
gravy on french fries.  Makes sense, butter and gravy on potatoes.

Liz

One other thing I forgot, tarter sauce on french fries or onion rings!

When I was 16 my first job was at a McDonalds (like probably a lot of
folks).  We used to grab handfuls of fries and slip into the walk-in
cooler to dip in the tarter sauce.

Liz

    Oh goodie, no one's mentioned my all time favorite yet.
    
    
    Cranberry sauce mooshed into mashed potatoes.  8-}
       I loooove it!
    I always go for seconds.  (The chicken and veggies are just
    a side dish.)
    
    
    
    Peanut butter with ground-up hot pepper and a dash of
    tamari (soy).  Stir it into pasta with veggies.  Yum.
    
    
    Karen
    
    

    My cousin eats pb on pancakes, no syrup.  Sounds kind of "dry" to
    me!!
    
    I like black pepper on french fries, and I love chocolate with potato
    chips.

    
    
    I like tartar sauce on french fries, too!  And I thought I was the
    only wierd one!
    
    This may not be weird, but the only way I'll eat mashed potatoes
    is if I put the 'taters on one side of a butter knife and dip it
    in corn or peas!  Some habits are hard to break....
    
    Cherie
    
    P.S..........Liver with chocolate sauce????  Not even chocolate
    will get me near liver!
    

    My daughter is one of the "potato chips on any sandwich" types -
    but that is beginning to sound *normal* - wow (or should I say 
    ggggggaaaaaaaaggggggg).
    
    Of course - my favorite is sauerkraut mixed into mashed potatoes,
    so... 
    
    Linda

    My fiance *loves* pilsbury croissants with butter and lots of molasses!
    
    I think it's disgusting!!!!!YUCK!!!!
    
    Tam

    Fluffernutters made with crunchy pb and CHOCOLATE CHIPS on wheat toast.
    
    Cold curried veggies for breakfast.
    (sauteed zucchini, summer squash, onions, and curry powder
                                                  --sauteed in butter)
    This must be left over from dinner
    so they're good and COLD.                                  
    
    I'm not going to try most of the favorites listed in this note,
    but I love to imagine what they might be like.
    
    When I was a kid, we were given sugar (white, or brown, it didn't
    matter which) sandwiches.  (Butter, sugar, wonderbread)  It scares
    me to death to think what that did to our metabolisms. Molasses
    sandwiches too. Same recipe except substitute molasses for sugar.
    
    Oh well, I suppose someday they'll discover that things I *like*
    aren't good for us either.

    I used to think that grilled cheese and tomatoe was a weird
    combination, but not after reading the replies in this note....
    
    

    Some of my favorites that make my husband sick are:
    
    Peanut butter, jelly and salami (or bologna) sandwiches
    Peanut butter, jelly and American or cheddar cheese
    Peanut butter, cream cheese and jelly
    Hot dog on a bun with peanut butter on one side and yellow mustard
       on the other
    I'm another who likes PB and mayo--but it needs to be Miracle Whip
    
    My husband likes to drink pickle juice or olive juice straight
       from the jar--now that makes ME sick!
    
    My mother knew a family who liked a large slice of Bermuda onion
       on their chocolate cake.
     

    
    
    	I actually enjoy potato chips dipped in Mustard.
    	
    	The plain yellow kind.

    Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are delicious!
    

    Pink Chablis and Microwave popcorn

    
    When I was younger, every Sunday after church, a friend and I would
    have what we called a chocolate jimmy party. We'd buy a bowl of those
    chocolate jimmies, put half into a glass for each of us (we'd buy
    the big bowls) and pour milk into the glasses. We were, of course
    supposedly on diets. Every week, without fail, we'd make ourselves
    sick. We'd also buy the Pilsbury chocolate chip cookie dough (the
    stuff that you just slice and put in the oven) and eat that right
    out of the package, uncooked.
    
    Salt on watermelon is a must.
    
    PB and bananas is great with butter.
    
    PB and cheese is good too.
                             
    French fries/potato chips are great with almost all condiments 
    (ie. mustard, A1, bar-b-q, taco sauce, etc.) all except ketsup.
    
    Pork-n-beans are great with mustard.
    
    The more I think about the things I eat........ugh!!
    
     
      *Carina*
    

    Well, after reading some of these replies yesterday  I went home
    and took a burrito skin and spread mustard on it, put cottage cheese
    in the middle along with chopped onions.  It was GOOD!!!
    
    Still thinking of more off-the-wall ideas too!!!
    
    Denise
    
    P.S.
    
    On Thanksgiving my sister puts a small piece of turkey, some cranberry
    sauce, some mashed potatoes, and some sweet potatoes ALL ON THE
    SAME FORK and then puts it into her mouth!  I tried it - it's YUMMY
    but it takes SO long to finish all your dinner!	:-)
    

    This one's great for cold winter days...
    
    Potato chips in Bisque of Tomato soup. Yum!
    
    Then again, peanut butter, molasses and banana is too bad either--not
    a favorite, mind you, but interesting, especially on a flour tortilla
                                          
    Some of these "goodies" sound pretty decent.

    I believe they are the little chocolate sprinkles you put on cakes,
    cookies, etc.

Re:  .75

>    Excuse my ignorance, but what are chocolate jimmies???

One of the quaint things about New England is that they have their own words
for a number of foods that have perfectly ordinary (and understandable) names
everywhere else.  The replacement names are usually more confusing.  Some
examples:

	If you want a Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, or Seven-Up, don't ask for
	a soda.  What you want is a tonic.

	You may be understood in a sandwich shop if you order a submarine,
	but you are likely to do better if you order a grinder.

	Don't expect to visit your neighborhood diner, order a milk shake,
	and get what you would get in Colorado.  I haven't yet figured out
	what you get, but I don't find it very tasty.  The local term is
	"frappe" (pronounced frap).

"Jimmies" is another of these terms.  It is the local confusing term for
sugary chocolate sprinkles that are usually put on top of ice cream sundaes
and such for decoration.  I find most of these terms annoying; every once in
a while, when I order an ice cream cone, I order one with "James's" on it,
smile benignly at the confused server, and then explain that I'm feeling too
formal for jimmies and preferred something less familiar.

They usually don't get it.

    and "nutmeggers" call "jimmies" "shots".

    Peanut butter and bananas on raisin bread.  Or, better yet, I take
    a banana, smear peanut butter over it and then stick raisins into
    the peanut butter (it's fun to eat).  Yum.
    
    I also like mixing Fritos corn chips into my chili (along with sour
    cream, onions and cheese).

    re. 76, 77
    
    Thanks for the enlightenment.  Actually I lived in Amherst
    for a while way back in 19(mumble) and knew about grinders
    and frappes but the jimmies had me stumped.  The only thing
    I could think of were Cocoa-Puffs.

    re: .77
    
    In New England, if you ask for a milk shake...what you get is milk
    and flavoring whipped up. That's it. (I should know, I spent many 
    months working in ice-cream places during high school and college.)
           
    It's okay to ask for a soda when you want Coke, Pepsi or whatever.
    But don't ask for a 'pop'! They'll think you're nuts. (That's what
    it's called in Ohio, where I grew up.) 
    
    (And I've asked for ice-cream with James's on top, too...I usually
    just get a confused look, then the wait-person moves quickly away...)

    My husband eats this, not me....
    
    He puts a blob of cottage cheese in a bowl and then fills the bowl
    with milk so that the curds are floating (sorta like a chunky soup).
    He eats this on real hot days and says it's refreshing.
    
    
    EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW
               
    
    
    

    So far nobody's mentioned putting the chunky peanut butter on the
    hot grilled cheese sandwich!!!!!! ....even better with bacon....superb
    if you use pumpernickel bread.....dip it in honey, mmmmm....excuse
    me....I've got to go get a snack.

    Please stop assigning those outlandish names for things
    to New ENgland in general - it's mostly Eastern Mass.!
    
    In Western Mass. (and I suspect, the rest of the N.E. states),
    a milk shake includes ice cream, tonic is what you have with gin,
    and a submarine is a naval vessel!

    When I moved to Maine in 1967, I got hit with the frappe vs. milk-shake
    confusion.  However, now that the big chains (Friendly's, et al) have
    gotten into the act, there are few places left that make the
    distinction.

    But, I *like* milkshakes!!!  (Without the ice cream)  You can still
    get them at "Have A Scoop" (or whatever it's called) on Main St., Maynard.
     They always say, "You mean *without* the ice cream?"

   Most of these so-called snacks you people mention sound like something
    you picked out of a garbage can :-)!  I am so glad I am a fussy
    eater (so was my mother and so is my daughter - 3 generations of
    people saying, "Yuck!" at many foods)

    The other day I was at my boyfriend's parents house and his brother
    was eating white bread smeared with relish - oh my God!

    re: .86
    
    You can get milkshakes at What's The Scoop? Great! Another discovery...
    
    Lorna- you can get a milkshake without the ice-cream at Johnson's
    Drive In on Rte. 119 in Groton. And boy are they good! (I worked
    there...guess what I often had for lunch? ;-) ) 
    
    -Amy.

    People who put flavoring in their milk don't have any business
    criticizing other people's peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwiches.
    
    --bonnie 

    re .88, well, you see, Bonnie, all of my life people have criticized
    me for what I *don't* eat, and *how* I eat it!!!  So, I enjoy a
    chance every once in awhile to get back at "them" for it!  :-)
    
    I had one friend who couldn't stand to watch me eat an Italian GRINDER
    at lunch because of how I picked it apart and left a pile of scraps
    on my plate.  He used to say, "Oh, no, why am I having lunch with
    you?  Now I have to watch you pick apart your food!"

    	Mashed potatoes, apple sauce and mustard mixed together.
    
    	Cantelope, melons, raisins, croutons all on top of
    	cottage cheese, with large dollops of hot fudge.
    
    	Toast with butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips,
    	sprinkles and sliced bananas - all on top of each
    	other
    

    My favorite salad of all time is:
    
    water chestnut slices, chick peas, kidney beans, sprouts, a little
    shredded cheddar, huge croutons, and real bacon crumblings, with chunky 
    bleu cheese dressing.
    
    Sometimes, if I'm drinking an herbal tea that has some citrus-y
    stuff in it that would curdle milk, I put OJ in it instead of milk.

    Tuna fish, chopped onion, chunked cucumber, chipped apple, and peanuts,
    all squidged together with mayo and sharpened with a little Singapore
    hotsauce.  Yummers.  With a glass of salted lassi to drink.
                    
    						=maggie

Melt 2 1/2 oz top quality semi-sweet chocolate (Merkens Yucatan) and
1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate over a double boiler.   Watch it carefully
and don't let any water contact the chocolate.

When melted, stir in 2 1/2 oz unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
Leave to cool.

When cooled to room temperature, stir in 3 egg yolks.

Beat 5 egg whites until stiff, adding 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar half way through.

Fold together carefully.  (Take a goodly spoonful of the eggwhites and
stir into the chocolate to lighten the mixture, then stir a big spoonful
at a time into the egg whites until mixed.)  Don't overmix, or you'll
lose the lightness.

Serves six decent-sized portions (with a bit over for seconds).

I've found.)

    My mother loves Cottage Cheese and Plain Yogurt for lunch!
    
    I love the taste of orange and chocolate together. Whether it's
    chocolate covered orange slices, or Herrells dutch orange chocolate
    ice cream, or orange milano cookies from P.F., or a bit of O.J. 
    mixed with some Hershey's.....
    
    BTW, there's a new drink made by the Kahlua people called Kahlua
    Royale. In addition to containing Kahlua and brandy, it also had
    in it - you guessed it - orange and chocolate!

    Roberta,
    
    You ought to try the Isreali liquor, Sabra.  It tastes
    just like those orange jelly sticks covered with chocolate.
    Yum!!!

    Amazing! Maybe I can pick some up to bring home for the holidays.
    Thanks for letting me know!

    My dad liked to put mustard (yellow) on plain donuts!
    
    He also thoroughly enjoyed a turkey sandwich with mayo, stuffing,
    and cranberry sauce.  Very messy.
    
    My husband likes sliced cheese with peanut butter and applesauce.
    
    Seems I recall someone telling me they put molasses on peas to help
    keep them on the fork.

I suspect you may be thinking of a different implement of destruction!  As
the poem goes,

	I eat my peas with honey;
	I've done it all my life.
	It makes the peas taste funny,
	But it keeps them on...

Smiles for a happy New Year, everyone.

						--Q

That reminds me of some earlier favorites...
    
    As a kid, I loved bologna, mustard, potato salad, lettuce and dill
    pickles on my favorite bread.  Yumm!!!
    
    Then there was radish or pickled cucumber sandwiches...
    
    

    
    Thoughts...
    
    1.) Co-noters you are a truly *amazing* group of people!  But only
        a few  of you have gone into the _fridge dimension_! -the ability
        to eat things cold!  My mother eats cold baked potato with cold
        butter (ugghh!) and my brother (actually an alien from another
        planet) will eat *anything* cold!! (almost makes canned pears
        with mayonaise seem delightful!)
    
    2.) I'm sorry  - another Navy story (but with what some of you eat
        you'd have *no* problem in the navy!!)
        One of the cooks on our ship was Viet Namese. I got a chance
        to talk to him when I was doing my required three months duty
        on the mess-decks.  One day during a conversation he mentioned
        that his favorite cheese was American cheese (right - those
        tasteless but edible slices of textured plastic).  I said but
        wait a minute have you tried  some of the other hundreds of
        kinds (knowing he'd spent most of his life in the U.S.) Yes
        he replied but they weren't as good.  Here's a guy who could
        have anything in the galley he wanted and here's what he would
        come into the lounge eating - cold rice, cold hotdogs with 
        catsup all over it.  Enough to make you sea-sick!!
    
   C.)  And here's my addition:
        Chocolate icecream covered with honey and sliced bananas.

    Here are my favourites...
    
    		Chocolate Chip Pancakes
    		French Fries with Mustard and a dot of Ketchup
    		  (On REAL bad days...Hold the Ketchup)
    		Strawberry Sundaes with Rocky Road Ice Cream
    		Milk and Kool-Aid Powder...(Once called a "Purple Cow")
    		PB and Fluff
    		Fluff and Jelly
    
    
    	Now..THEMS good eatin....:-):-)
    
    
    		- Donna

    Ok, here are some of my favorite
    
    Crunchy Peanut Butter on Hot Dogs
    Potato chip sandwiches
    fried mushrooms,green peppers and onions on Italian bread
    stuffing sandwiches with mayo..(Just the stuffing..no turkey)
    Vanilla ice cream sprinkled with Nestle's Quik
    Dipping french fries in anything..gravey,ketchup,tabasco sauce,bar-b-q
      sauce,
    Dipping Cherry suckers in anything that you are drinking at the
    time...kool-aid,tea,milk,water,applejuice ...
    
    
    Each one taste's great all the time

    Here's the recipe for my favorite food of my youth:
    
    toast a piece of wonder bread, butter liberally, sprinkle cinnamon
    and sugar then add a piece of american cheese and toast again until
    melted. 
    yummy!!!!
