Growing up, instead of eating a bowl of cereal, we would eat saltines smashed up in a bowl covered with milk. I liked it better than cereal since it was salty and not sweet. It was a comfort food dish in our family. And mom liked it because she didn't have to cook it. LOL
I used to love eating lemons with salt, until I found out it was bad for your teeth. Sometimes, when I eat something served with lemon wedges on the plate, I'll sneak a few nibbles in.
Peanuts drizzled with honey. It kind of tastes like a PayDay candy bar.
When I was young and broke, I would eat bread drizzled with any kind of condiment I could find in the house, including Taco Bell sauce.

Ever bite of my burrito must have sauce on it. I can use 10 packs of taco bell sauce on 1 burrito. I used to eat ice with salt when I was a kid. So did my brothers.
My dad ate raw potatoes for years. It won't kill you, but your body doesn't get a lot of nutrition from it if it's not cooked.
I still love to do that! I don't do it much, but sometimes I just crave it. That can't be too good for your teeth, either, though.
Add 7-up or sprite to beer. Use a 1 to 10 ratio (10%) it makes cheap beer like Budweiser much more tolerable to drink. I wouldn't try it with a strong beer like Guiness though.
Over-easy fried egg, pulverized on a plate with white rice or yellow cornbread, heavy on the black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mmm. Sounds kind eww, but I think it's delightful.
I dip potato chips in ketchup. Many look at my sideways when I do that. It was an epiphany when I found out that my friend did that as well.
Love chips in ketchup!

Mustard on fries is better than ketchup on fries!

Strangest thing I can think of is probably crushed soda crackers in a tall glass of milk. Maybe steak sauce (A1) on baked potatoes.
Oh, and I do put salt on some fruits, especially the acidic ones like grapefruit and pineapple (a little old Hawaiian man taught me that one). Really smooths out the flavor. Grapefruit is a funny one, though. One of my parents put salt on it ... the other sugar. I can do either.
I love salt on melons and green apples, and baked potatoes always have Worchestershire or A-1 on them.

That is how I eat bell peppers, too

I need it to be cheddar, but yes, the cheese/apple combo is so good!

I'd also used to mix Strawberry Jelly into cottage cheese.
Oh, and cottage cheese on Doritos. Use the chip as a scoop. Cool Ranch flavored tasted best.
I like cottage cheese with Wheat Thins and my Cool Ranch dipped in a ketchup/mustard combo

My son asked him if he would prefer to cut it up and put syrup on it.
Turns out that he had never had or heard of French toast and this was his first time eating it.
It also turns out that he prefers to eat it cut up with maple syrup poured over it. LOL
We don't put syrup on pancakes or french toast in our house, either. It's either peanut butter or shredded cheddar.

My favorite TV watching snack for a while was saltines with margarine spread on them. Later, pretzel sticks with chunks of Velveeta.
Love Saltines with the butter!

Make mine a pb and dill pickle sandwich and we are in business!
I have a ton of "odd" combos of how I eat things.
Swiss cheese and cole slaw sandwiches
swiss cheese and kraut sandwiches
ranch dressing on any thick crust pizza (or thin crust frozen..)
caesar salad mixed into my spaghetti
sour cream to top my spaghetti sauce
pb, american cheese, and dill sandwiches
chips on all sandwiches - doritoes on pb and j are the best.
horseradish and swiss cheese sandwiches with lays potato chips on them

That is something I know from my younger years in Bavaria/Germany..called 'Radlermass'
I used to snack on yellow mustard on saltines......not so much any more.
I like cold bake beans with vinegar and sugar on white bread as an open face sandwich.
I remember mother serving me bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on it..when she was little it was a treat at War time to wetten a bread with water and add sugar on it.
