As for the PB&B with mayo, I don't like PB so I don't think I'll try it. However, when I was a kid I used to fry my bologna like it wasn't fatty enough as is. I also used to put margarine on saltines.

MARGARINE???? That is way worse than the butter I used

My dad grew up on ranitas. They were half cooked hand made tortillas, rolled up with salt in the middle. He says it was the best lunch he had when he was little.

ohhhhh, I am addicted to salt. When I was a kid, me and my lil bro would steal the salt shaker and hide in the closet and shake salt into the palms of our hands and then throw it in our mouth.

There's this taiwanese breakfast thing, it's loosely translated into rice wand. It's basically made like a sushi roll without nori paper, it's a chinese doughnut (imagine a giant thick churro without the sugar and cinnamon) with rice rolled around it. There's a salty version with preserved vegetables in it (I always got that one) then there's a sweet version with just the doughnut with sugar rolled inside the rice. That one's good too with sweetened soy milk.

Did you know there's also a salty/savory version of soy milk? There's the same preserved veggies in it with bits of doughnut, and they're served in giant pho sized bowls. yummy!

i haven't read this whole thread, but i'm sure no one else has written this....
when we were little (me & 2 sis') we would slit a cold hotdog down the middle and fill it with peanut butter! it wasn't done out of desperation, but idk what the heck we were thinking! i haven't tried it in adulthood but we loved it then!

Aha, upon further research (wikipedia ) this is what I found.

"Cabeza is a Spanish word meaning "head". In Mexican cuisine, it is used to describe the meat from a roasted head of a cow, served as a taco or burrito filling[1]. Typically, the whole head will sit on a steamer or grill, and customers may ask for particular parts of the head meats they favor, such as ojo (eye), oreja (ear), cachete (cheek), lengua (tongue), or labios (lips)"

Lisa, lengua is technically part of the cabeza since the tongue is located on the head. Cabeza is actually pretty close to lengua. They messed up my order, I ordered 2 lengua tacos, 2 cabeza, and they gave me two packages, one marked with "AZ", I later found out it was asada, so after I ate a super yummy tender meat taco, I wondered which one it was. I looked at my order receipt (from the kitchen, not my reciept) and it was cabeza. so YUM! Hve yet to try ojo. Never seen it on any menu, but I use to eat ojo de pescado chinese style when I was a kid. LOL I'm being serious. Did you know there is an inedible bone type ball in a fish eyeball? I don't think the cornea is edible either, it is quite plasticy.

Just found this thread. I once worked with a young lady who made her husband "sugar sandwiches" to take for his lunch!!! She said he had grown up eating them for school lunch(!) and still had to have one every so often for lunch. White bread, thick with butter - and white, granular sugar piled on!

lol I haven't had this since I was a little girl and it sounds so good right now, I grew up in a large mexican family and I think the oddest thing served was head cheese
I so miss the homemade lemonade, salsa, tamales ect ect!
Now I'm dating a german boy and his grandma is straight from Germany and I don't even know what I ate at Chrismas, I just knew better than to question it and just put it in my mouth bc those were the rules there, very old school german

Thank you again Admin for creating this section!

I wonder how he stayed awake after 3pm. LOL
However, the Vietnamese have a smoothie that is an avocado milkshake. For me, I love avocados with salt, I don't have much of a sweet tooth. But, I've tried it. The nuttyness of an avocado is a perfect match for sugar and sweet. Just like how before you ever had chocolate with cayenne, or sausage with maple syrup, after you have it, it just makes sense! Just as the sugar slowly melts into the thick butter, if I had a sweet tooth, I think I'd try it.
