If you don't already know, I am NOT a foodie! I'm simply not a picky eater. I love carbs. I love fattening shit! If you've got something frying in bacon grease, don't be surprised if I'm standing there dry humping your leg!
There are only two common foods I totally wretch at.
- Rare meat - My father liked his steaks rare. When my father sent leftovers to my hotel room, I most certainly did call down to the bar and ask to speak to the veterinarian. Once he was on the phone I told him he needed to rush to my room ASAP because I was pretty sure he could still save Dad's steak!
- Okra - The Queen made the mistake of making boiled okra once! Let me tell you right now that boiled okra smells exactly like cat urine and has the consistency of cat vomit!
Other than that, I'm pretty open minded. If it walks, hops, or swims, I've probably tasted it. Basically, I'm up for trying anything that isn't laced with arsenic... at least once! That's not entirely true... I draw the line at insects (not enough chocolate in the world for that!). There are many exotic and 'healthy' foods that I have not yet had the opportunity to taste, but I'm not against trying them at some point.
With that being said, I find most people's flavor atrocities perfectly acceptable. I dip my french fries in chocolate frosty, I'll put dill pickles on a peanut butter sandwich, and I love to sip a Coca Cola with popcorn in my mouth.
However, I do have some standards (and they are pretty LOW).
I once watched a student eat butter straight from the container!! I put a screeching stop to that if I was going to be eating in the same building with him!
My sister-in-law grew up loving ketchup sandwiches. Not a huge fan of the big K anyway... let alone just spread on a slice of bread!
And I once knew a girl who liked mayo and PB sandwiches! (This makes my tongue have a grand mal seizure!)
But yesterday at work, I encountered a person who's lunch made me want to leave the building (and I wasn't even trying to eat anything!) Our maintenance guy... who has to be like 112-years-old... proceeded to explain to me the contents of his sandwich. I literally had to have him repeat it about 3 times to be certain that first, I heard him correctly, and second, he was NOT kidding... he had to show me before I believed him!
I am now going to subject you to the same GAG-factor:
It was a slice of wheat bread spread with butter. On top of that he added peanut butter and jelly. If the whole scenario had stopped right here... I could have shrugged and walked off. Butter is fine and I can see how it could add a uniquely appealing flavor to even the classic PB&J (though I'm not going to test this theory.) BUT NO!! He did not stop there. In addition to this trifecta of spreads, he added...
a slice of PIMENTO LOAF!
Yes, I just threw up in my mouth a little!
How about you?
Now the current debate between the Prince and I is whether this sandwich is worse than his sisters ketchup catastrophe. I say it is, he says the ketchup sandwiches are way more disgusting.
So I leave it to you dear readers. Which is worse?
- Ketchup Sandwich (Just ketchup on bread)... OR
- Butter + PB&J + Pimento Loaf on Wheat!
And while you're at it...
What food do you totally love that others may think is crazy?
AND
What is the grossest food you seen someone else enjoying?
