Unconventional things you like to eat or drink

[Rita]

Chips cheese and gravy or chips cheese and curry sauce, usually when drunk but I don’t think it’s all that unconventional?

 

[Nancy]

I used to eat biro pens. Both the hard plastic outer casing and the inner plastic tube (as the ink went down. I didn't consume that.)

 

[RJN]

I’m on a new diet. I can only eat paper, but I can eat as much paper as I want.

 

[RJN]

Popcorn with American mustard

Probably not unconventional

But I do love (salted) popcorn with pretty much anything. Sometimes with a cuppa soup it's the ideal lunch.

What is American mustard?

 

[Nancy]

What is American mustard?

I presume it's the yellow mustard you use on hot dogs.

[jyxz]

And I still add Worcestershire sauce to pretty much anything I can get away with. Frying onions in it, on chips instead of vinegar, absolutely anything with cheese and tomatoes.

Have you tried Hendersons Relish?

 

[Suedehead]

What is American mustard?

The hot dog one. The least sophisticated mustard as we know.

Seriously though I'm a mustard FIEND but Dijon, wholegrain or English mustard don't work with popcorn (believe me I've tried).

 

[Nancy]

Have you tried Hendersons Relish?

Yes! I love it because it's like Worcestershire Sauce, but vegan!

 

[Ellie]

Have you tried Hendersons Relish?

Meh. It’s fine. There was a Lea & Perrins shortage for a while during lockdown and I was forced to resort to Hendersons. It’s a weak substitute.

Gravy
Chicken tikka/korma sauce
The rind of the bone from a cooked lamb leg
Salmon skin
Orange peel

What is unconventional about the first two things, or do you eat the whole list together?

 

[Rachey]

Oh maybe they're vegetarian

What makes them vegetarian and not vegan

Also some of you eat some weird stuff.

The Haribo strawberries are vegan, but the Tangfastics are not. It's the tanginess of the latter that makes them so good with mint sauce.

 

[Tisch]

I go through phases where I use marmite as a condiment. Or I add it to my salads.

Imagining a healthy SPREAD of marmite on a cucumber/bed of lettuce here and

If someone has made a roast and there's gravy left in the boat, I'll drink it.

The tikka and korma sauce I'd eat from the jar, warmed up first.

 

[PercyPig]

I think they all contain some form of monosodium glutamate (MSG) which isn't as bad as previously thought.

MSG in its powdered form is a must! Smash that on anything savoury and you’re good.

Haha I drink gravy post dinner

 

[lolly]

Sucking on and swallowing the kernels that failed to pop at the end of a bag of microwave popcorn.

I've cracked a tooth on unpopped popcorn so NEVER AGAIN

 

[RJN]

The hot dog one. The least sophisticated mustard as we know.

Seriously though I'm a mustard FIEND but Dijon, wholegrain or English mustard don't work with popcorn (believe me I've tried).

Don’t tell my New York Jewish mother, but I put ketchup on my hot dogs. I like the fancier mustards for other things

 

[Indie]

Vinegar (in all varieties)
Cold baked beans from the tin

Popcorn with m&ms mixed in
Pretzels with m&ms mixed in

@Moderator when are we going to do something about these AI accounts?

 

[Marina Salty]

okra

artichokes

Yes he can

I wouldn't have considered these unusual, just rare for most to like them. I also like greens a lot.
Okra is also known as 'lady's fingers' though, maybe that's unconventional to eat

Other leaf vegetables - kale/cavalo nero, bok choy, and spinach, of course. The 'spicy' salad leaves (like arugula/rocket) can be rather nice too

 

[Tisch]

Yes he can

It was the right time.

Nice knowing you all x

 

[POP!]

Pizza and ranch dressing. Not sure if this is a typical American thing.

 

[Halli]

Skittles from the freezer. they pop in your mouth

 

[IntoTheDark]

Using pasta instead of rice in a Chinese or Indian curry is amazing

What desperate times you must have found yourself in to have tried this out.

not SALAD

i don't think it's salad tbh, but I lack a short term to describe them collectively
(it's the random species of little greenery that grow in the wild and you collect on your own from the mountains or meadows, like a collection of pigweed, sowthistle, hartwort etc)

 

[RJN]

Pigweed, sowthisle, and hartwort are definitely grown by Professor Sprout

You Mediterranean people are WEIRD. That’s the sort of thing both of my exes would have said.

JUST EAT A TESCO BAG OF SPINACH LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

COLD HEINZ RAVIOLI.

You mean like rocket/arugula? I like that too but only in small doses.
