I (and the rest of my family, for that matter) make spaghetti with ketchup and ground beef, with garlic, minced onion, and black pepper mixed in. It also doubles as a great sloppy joe sauce. Outside reactions have ranged from "oh, that's kinda weird" to glaring at me as if I'd just murdered the Pope, for the blasphemy against Italian cooking I had apparently done.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Just to piggy-back on those talking about chocolate and spiciness, I had THE most DELICIOUS chocolate cake a while ago at this pan-Asian restaurant here in the UK. It was a chocolate fudge cake with wasabi and it was TO DIE FOR. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. 
As for my weird ingredients, I'm not sure I really have any. I put a little milk in my scrambled eggs (along with garlic powder, onion powder and a bit of American cheese), but I don't think that's especially weird. When I make pasta sauce, I used to add some molasses and Worcestershire sauce to the usual spices and things I'd put in there, but I think that's pretty normal too. I don't have any molasses here in my school flat, but I do throw in a pinch or two of sugar when I make my pasta sauce now. Cuts back on the acidity (or the taste of it, anyway).

Has anyone ever tried a fried Bacon and Banana sandwich?

Nope but a couple months back I had what amounted to a jalapeño popper wrapped in bacon and it was great.Kitsune wrote:Has anyone ever tried a fried Bacon and Banana sandwich?
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yes. We also put honey and peanut butter on it.Kitsune wrote:Has anyone ever tried a fried Bacon and Banana sandwich?
It was incredibly delicious - on the other hand, that was the night my friends managed to convince me to get stoned with them, so that might have, uh, unduly influenced my judgment.
I was really hungry.

Other than adding small pieces of bacon to various stir fried vegetables, no...

I like Celine Dion myself. Her ballads alone....they make me go all teary-eyed and shit.

That's not really a weird ingredient by my reckoning. Here in Taiwan, about half of the stir fried vegetable dishes include some form of pork added for flavor -- including bacon. Stir fried green peppers with little pieces of bacon is a common and surprisingly tasty dish.muse wrote:Other than adding small pieces of bacon to various stir fried vegetables, no...

Generally speaking, I take ordinary things and try to do odd things with them that I have lying around at hand. Kraft Mac 'n Cheese, for example, is invariably made better by adding ground peppercorn, Monteray steak seasoning, garlic, and your favorite brand of chili (I recommend something spicy, the Mac itself tends to dull the fire). One can's worth of home made or canned chili per box, makes delicious chilimac.
The other day, I discovered Emeril's apple-chicken sausages in our fridge, so I sliced up a pair of them, got them hot in a pan, and promptly inserted them into a cheese sandwhich that I grilled. Tillamook sharp cheddar grilled cheese, melted around a pile of apple-chicken sausage slices. It was surprisingly delicious!

Using ketchup sounds like it would be way too sweet. Chopped tomatoes boiled down is the way to go.Executor32 wrote:I (and the rest of my family, for that matter) make spaghetti with ketchup and ground beef, with garlic, minced onion, and black pepper mixed in.
