Odd stuff

Ok... so as I was eating dinner Saturday night with our family, I thought of this blog post/question...

What odd food combinations are commonplace in your families life?

We have a taco night once a week. We have had this for years... I think I started making Taco's on Saturday night when Alex was a baby. When we started it we had a simple menu on taco night:
Meat, cheese, tomato's, lettuce, onions, taco shells (soft corn tortilla's lightly fried in oil), taco sauce, (hot sauce for Rich, mild for me) and cottage cheese (a Newton Grandparent Taco night tradition).

For a while the kids did not want to join us in eating taco's... so it became a taco/salad bar night. Rich and I would make our taco's, and the kids would take the lettuce, tomato's and cheese and make salad's and put on salad dressing and eat that. So... to our original items we put out on the table we added salad dressings of various types for the kids to choose from, and bacon bits.

As the kids saw us savoring the taco's week by week we slowly got them to try the taco's and eat them. They didn't however choose to have their taco's the same way Rich and I made them. They would take a tortilla, put in cheese, tomato's, bacon bits, and salad dressing (tangy tomato bacon is the favorite) and a touch of ketchup and eat that. We added fresh guacamole, sour cream and black beans to the items we put on the table each week to add to the taco's or salads. The guacamole is actually what got Alex into eating taco's...

Then one week we decided to have a different type of taco... a double decker taco. For this you take a crunchy corn taco shell, and a soft flour tortilla... slather the flour tortilla with refried beans and then "paste" it onto the taco shell. Then fill the taco with whatever fillings you want. This lead to the crunch wrap. Kind of a copy cat on what Taco Bell sells, but our own version for home. We take a big burrito size flour tortilla, slather it with refried beans, fill a small crunchy taco with the fillings wanted, and then put it in the middle of the burrito tortilla and wrap it up, using more refried beans as the "glue" to hold the tortilla together around the taco. It's actually turned into a fairly clean way for the kids to eat their taco's because it's kind of self contained...

So all that isn't too wierd, but a few weeks ago Alex decided to add another little twist to his taco. He wanted miracle whip, and honey mustard dressing on his taco... So his taco consisted of: Flour tortilla with refried beans, crunchy taco with miracle whip, meat, tomato's, guacamole, taco sauce (2 types), and honey mustard salad dressing.

Now I have to admit as a child I went through a short phase of eating peanut butter & mayo sandwiches so it may be hereditary...

But that is the recent odd food combination that can be found in our house each Saturday evening...

What are some odd food combinations that your kids (or you even) regularly eat?
