as a kid i somehow got the idea that a peanut butter sandwich would taste better with dill pickle chips and 'real' bacon bits on it (not the soy based crunchies) somehow i think i may still find this enjoyable.
peanut butter sandwiches with cinnamon sugar.
corn flakes with orange juice (i've been lactose intolerant since i was a baby, and this was the only way i'd eat cereal 'wet') to this day... i can only eat cereal dry now.
miracle whip and alfalfa sprout sandwiches
consulting with one of my younger brothers about the topic:
they always talked about how Elvis liked his hot dogs - deep fried.
they loved them (still do apparently). i never could bring myself to it.
other 'dishes' he notes:
grilled cheese sandwiches with cinnamon sugar. (he still loves)
peanut butter and maple syrup by the spoonful.
oreos covered in cool whip.
doritos (or any other kind of chip) crumbled up on about any kind of sandwich.
he also is a big fan (still) of the PB/pickle/bacon sandwich as well.
i'm sure there's other stuff we're not thinking of.
i still love the taste of eggs with ketchup.
especially if there are some sort of hashbrown type thing involved.
maple syrup loves all things pork.
as of late at work:
mustard butterscotch on seared, cured pork belly. (i use the sauce on a dessert, but you have no idea how good this is... it's like the world's best honey-mustard sauce).
Allan Benton's bacon on anything. (tastes like you're licking the inside of a smoker).
