Foodstuffs.
I know we have other food threads, but let's talk about weird or new foods.
I once made meat brownies. I think I mentioned it here the night I did it. Anyway, you take a london broil, broil it for about seven minutes on each side, stick it in a large baking dish, mix up the brownies, pour them over the meat, and cook as per brownie directions.
Honestly, it's pretty good.
Anyone else make things like this or enjoy unorthodox meals?

Fried bacon wrapped up in a pancake. Toss some brown sauce on it and it's the ambrosia of kings.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
I'd have to add something sweet to it.
Sticky maple syrup or whipped cream.

My father makes this weird sandwich and swears it`s good.
He puts cheese, jam and Hummus on bread, wraps it, then eats it.

What's unusual about flapjacks and pavlova?

That'd be fine, minus the jam....

There's nothing unusual about flapjacks and pavlovas, I was just saying I can make them. Don't you start.

I'm not, but it was supposed to be a weird food thread.

Okay, whatever. I also quite like to dip chips into liver patè.

While I haven't tryed this yet, the idea of squid and honey on a bagel sounds amazing. I just needs to wrestle me up some squids.

Squid linguine is good.
I learnt to make a dahl today.
It's not really weird, but uncommon out of India.
It's a lentil curry, basic foodstuffs.
I make it with tofu and it tastes lovely.

I like this Vietnamese dish that I forget what it's called. You mix ground pork and garlic and form it around a stick and barbecue it, and then put it on softened rice paper with some rice and lettuce and chilles and chives and whatever else, and then wrap it in the rice paper and take the stick out of the pork and eat it like a mini pita wrap. It's very good.
I also once put curry on Italian noodles. It was alright, but not as good as on rice noodles or rice.

Dahl isn't that uncommon at all, it's available in pretty much every Indian restaurant in the world, and those aren't exactly rare. It's also a breakfast staple in Malaysia, which is where I ate too much and got kind of sick of it.
I'm not much into weird foods. Most seem to involve weird meat and combinations of meat, and that's something I try to avoid. The weirdest thing I make is probably my chocolate mousse cheesecake, and that's just because I haven't yet found such a creation in any recipe book. It's just an unbaked and extremely creamy cheesecake (no lame cookie base) with a layer of chocolate mousse on top, followed by a layer of chocolate ganache and served with whipped cream and custard. The reason I could never be vegan.

Cicero that sounds really good, I think I may have to try and make some.
Chocolate covered bacon is rather yummy but most people seem too put off by the idea to try it

Sushi with brown sugar and cinnamon on top. I only eat salmon sushi with this topping...

While I don't think either of these are weird, I've been told I'm odd for liking them: Mustard with french fries/chips; melting cheese onto white rice.
While in a patient's room today, I heard a doctor discussing a dish he recently made: Beef roast (cut down the center), filled with crab, lobster, and shrimp; topped with strawberry jelly. Ewh.

I think that's called a Spring roll.

As far as weird foods, I Spread Cream-Cheese on toasted bread and put these fancy Dutch chocolate sprinkles on it. It's very good ^^.

I always put turmeric in my rice when I make it. It turns bright yellow.
And I think turmeric, at least post-cooking, is black-light reactive.

I like omelets filled with cheese, bacon, sausage, and salsa. The salsa really gives a nice little kick but isn't overwhelming because it is balanced with the cheese.

I dont make wierd things, but am always being told I eat wierd combinations, mainly in sandwiches. Cream cheese goes with so many things. Peanut butter, bananas, jam, mustard and corned beef, bacon and chicken, lettuce and paté. Cooked cold chicken mixed with mayo and smokey bacon crisps is great comfort food too. I make ham and cheese muffins sometimes too. Taste the same as cheese scones without the pain of rolling and cutting the dough.

Currywurst with mayonnaise, apparently, that's uncommon.

Vegemite is the shit. I got addicted to that in NZ, and can't stop buying it.
