(Today I am taking a cue from my dear friend, Pam and re-visiting a post from my early days. It's silly and reminds me how much I love my Grandma Gigi and her Pop-Tart eatin' ways! I am taking a day of rest so I can get back to my super stalking, comment love spreadin' ways tomorrow! Hope you have an iron stomach!)
My grandma Gigi eats PopTart and bologna sandwiches.
PopTarts as the bread part and bologna as the filler! Oh...and they have to be strawberry PopTarts. What the?!
The first time I saw her do this I stared in disbelief. She giggled and kept eating it.
"It's good!" she assured me.
"Hey, if it works for you, Gigi, then I'm good," I smiled (a fake smile because inside I was mortified!)
"You want me to make you one?" she asked, licking her lips.
This is a sandwich that I can't even be in the same room with, let alone attempt tasting it.
"No thank you," I ran from the roomi in horror. Seriously, Gigi?! PopTarts and bologna?! Super yuck!
My other grandma (who is watching me from Heaven...and hopefully will not haunt me for this little tidbit I'm about to share...) liked to eat hog brains and pickled pigs feet. Can you imagine?! What kind of crazy family was I born into?!
I'm not a picky eater. I am willing to try just about anything. I've even tried rattlesnake and chocolate covered crickets. I draw the line at breakfast pastries and deli meats in sandwich form. No way...no how. And pickled pigs feet? You don't know where they've been!?! Eeewww!
My mom eats peanut butter on her pancakes. My dad, son of the hog brains lady, eats like a normal person....not too exciting...(probably because he was surrounded by hog brains and pickled pigs feet as a kid...)
The most exciting thing I've seen my husband eat is Lea and Perrins sauce on his steak. I know people that put jelly in their soup beans and ketchup on scrambled eggs. I don't know if I would eat it, but still not too freaky.
I did actually eat clam chowder and chase it with a nice hot cocoa when I was pregnant. That was a lovely meal. (My intestines, however, didn't see it that way and quickly "returned to sender.")
Now that I've made myself nice and nauseous before breakfast, I think I'll wrap up this post. My kids are hungry for their morning meal of fried cactus and diet coke.
Ok..so what's the weirdest thing you've eaten? Do you like strange food combinations? Come on, friends! Spill it!
Enjoy your Thursday!

I like normal food. No weird stuff going on here...unless you count dipping grilled cheese sandwiches in ketchup. Hubby thinks that's weird. I think it's yummy.
Thanks for the memories & all the many smiles & laughter you share everytime I get to visit!!! :)
My husband puts ketchup over his french toast. Not too gross, but odd still!
I saw your comment about the white peacock, you must live in Tucson! I have seen that one when I lived there about 10 years ago. It is beautiful!

I am a pretty safe eater. I wouldn't say picky, but that is what most picky people say, right?? The canadian in me still loves dipping grilled cheese sandwiches in ketchup, does that count? :D
Thanks for dropping by my place and leaving such a nice comment! I love your blog. And all of those foods - wow! I have never heard of a poptart and bologna sandwich before.
It's so nice to meet you!
XOXO

Thank for stopping by my blog!! And please feel free to come hang out any ol' time. There's always something crazee going down.
yep....not just a pretty face...Im smart too
the weirdest stuff I've ever eaten has to be silkworm puppae...I almost puked.
Ok. I like balogna. And I like pop tarts. But together--nope, nope, nope.
I loved this post, I can't imagine eating that sandwich. I don't really eat either of those things to begin with.
Hope you are having a good day. Off to dance? We have had wonderful weather so far this week. Today, though, the temperature has dropped and the wind has picked up. Oh, well, back to reality!

I'm so just a norm type of eater. Maybe I need to try that coffee that the cat eats the bean and then let's just say nature takes its course and you then brew it. Yup a few extra hundred dollars I would so be rushing out for that one ... LOL
I think the weirdest things I have eaten are peanut butter on my icecream (unless it's mint chocolate chip, a flavor of cheesecake icecream or cookie dough....putting peanut butter on those is sacrilege) and fluffernutters. Other than that, Im not really adventuresome in my foods.
The strangest food I've ever eaten was at this over-the-top restaurant that had like 25 courses--not only was the food itself weird, it was served in weird ways--like one of the things we had to suck through a tube and there was some butterscotch-covered bacon hanging on a trapeze!
I have tried pig brains and pig cheek--didn't really like it though!
My grossest things are probably ketchup in mac and cheese and sugar on my cottage cheese! ;)
P.S. the reason WHY I did that was because I was in survival training when I was flight crew in the USAF Reserves. ;-)
My husband once made me "bacon bread", which is bread fried in bacon grease. Horrid. Some things you just shouldn't eat.
Much Love!

My cousin puts ketchup on her mashed potatoes and stirs them up till they're pink. And my daughter puts ranch dressing on tuna fish. I'm very picky--probably the strangest thing I eat is honey mustard on my fries!
