Random foods poll... do you eat....?

[4Hisglory]

Love, love, love, tomato and mayo sandwiches. I will be trying the pineapple and mayo. I'd never heard of it, sounds good.

[fraidycat]

My fave is peanut butter and dill pickle. DS has been eating that for breakfast for the past week also.

 

Another good one is PB and crushed up dill pickle or salt & vinegar chips.

[MyLittleWonders]

ETA: Oh wait, technically I do not eat Nutella because I am dairy free, but I do make my own version :D

 

I know you said you make your own, but if you ever feel like buying some and the stores near you carry it, Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is fantastic! We are dairy free and happened to see it at the store one day. I cannot do chocolate, but allow myself a wee bit every now and then. It's definitely fantastic with bananas on (GF) toast.

 

As for the poll, I love mayo but can't stand tomatoes or cucumbers. My mom, my boys, and my dad when he was alive love sliced tomatoes with mayo, salt, and pepper. The bread is optional. I love PB and bananas or the above mentioned Justin's nut butter with bananas. I have never tried pineapple and mayo but I'm going to have to.

 

As for chicken salad or tuna, I don't like walnuts, but this is how we make it:

chicken salad has diced pineapple, red onion, pasta, and mayo in it, with a healthy addition of crushed candied pecans. Tuna is made with red onion, candied pecans, lemon juice and mayo. We've also made chicken salad with raisins or cranberries, pecans and mayo when in a hurry or out of pineapple.

[mumto2]

None--hate mayo and not that fond of bananas either!

[elegantlion]

None, I hate bananas and tolerate mayo. Don't like tomatoes either. I've never heard of some of these combos either, plus I don't eat bread. The weirdest I go with any of those items is peanut butter mixed with honey. That's yummy. But I eat it out of a bowl.

[Annabel Lee]

The closest I come to anything on your list is #7, but only pears with Miracle Whip, not mayo, and sans cheese. I saw it on Mr. Rogers when I was little and had to try it. Also #9, but with sweet pickle relish. If I make tuna salad the way I really like it, it will have diced boiled eggs, celery, red onion, lemon juice, and lemon pepper.

 

I think my husband takes the cake with his PB & mayo sandwiches. Blech!

[The Girls' Mom]

I'll eat almost everything on the list except the fruit/mayo combos. And our chicken salad has pecans, not walnuts. Now I'm hungry.

[Mama Geek]

The only ways I like mayo is tuna salad, egg salad, tomato and mayo, and blt's. I will grudgingly eat it if I forget to order a burger at a fast food joint without mayo.

[Ellie]

mmm the crunch of a dill pickle in the middle of a tuna salad is delish :D My fave part :)

 

((((soul sister)))))

 

And it must be DILL pickles, not sweet. Please.

[amy g.]

Ick none of the above.

[Julie Smith]

Wow. I don't eat any of those things.

 

I agree.

[MamaT]

Can't believe NO ONE shares my love of pineapple sandwiches..y'all don't know what you are missing. They are DELICIOUS (in high pitched singing voice)

 

I love pineapple sandwiches! I eat everything on your list, except for cucumber sandwich and tomato/onion salad.

 

Are you from the South? Your list makes me think so. :001_smile:

[KarenNC]

Actually, my favorites of the list are:

tomato, Dukes mayo (regional brand, the only REAL mayo ;)), salt and pepper

banana, peanut butter and mayo (grosses my husband out :))

banana and mayo

 

My preferred chicken salad has curry, hard boiled eggs, celery and apples in it, but grapes and walnuts would be good. My mother used to make the pear salad described, using canned Bartlett pear halves. I liked them, but haven't had one in years---I think they had them in the cafeteria when I was in college. It seems like a recipe that likely came out of a 1960s or 70s women's magazine.:)

 

I despise canned tuna, so don't eat it in any iteration.

[BigMamaBird]

I don't eat mayo, so I had to say no to a lot of those.

[Mandylubug]

oh yes, GA gal :)

[AngieW in Texas]

EW!

 

The closest I come to any of the things on your list is my salmon salad. I use one packet of salmon, chopped onion, and mayo. I eat it on crackers.

 

I have eaten tuna, but it smells awful and I like salmon a lot better.

[Mynyel]

I don't eat any of them! :)

[Soror]

I picked chicken salad and tuna salad option. I used to love Miracle Whip but now equally love homemade mayo. I like the tart w/ the sweet in tuna and chicken salad. I live in the Midwest and one of the local butchers had a chicken salad w/ grapes and nuts that sold like crazy. I like tomato and mayo as well but prefer to have bacon on there as well. Of course being gluten free I generally eat without the actual bread. I also picked banana and nutella but I wouldn't actually eat that because it would be too much sugar but I think it would be tasty.

[Tabrett]

You didn't offer non of the above.:ack2:

[Mandylubug]

just ate a pineapple, shredded cheddar cheese and mayo sandwich for lunch :p Thought I would rub it in how much awesomeness y'all are missing out on :lol:

[ocelotmom]

I marked the ones that I'd be willing to eat or that sound appealing, all other dietary considerations aside. There are few of those that I actually eat.

[Element]

I wanted to answer but I don't eat any of that stuff. I do put apples in my tuna salad though. Also, I don't like mayo. I make my deviled eggs with Italian dressing and mustard. :tongue_smilie:

[MissKNG]

Mayo makes me sick! Yuck! Some things I do enjoy:

 

Thinly sliced cucumbers with cream cheese on bread (on occasion)

Swiss cheese with mustard on bread

 

I use mustard as my sandwich condiment when ordering sandwiches and subs.

[DeeDeeMarie]

Just curious, does anyone else like dill pickles on their grilled cheese sandwiches?? I found out I can't have dairy and this is one I miss, esp. in the winter with tomato soup.

 

A yummy sandwich is

toasted bread

cream cheese (if you can have dairy)

bacon

tomato

avacado

 

I do like banana and pbutter, esp. on gf toast or gf pancake

[cjzimmer1]

I wouldn't eat any of them.

 

While I might consider eating peanut butter or nutella on a banana, I would not eat a banana on bread.

 

Mayo belong with a meat, always. Cucumber, tomato etc is fine but there has to be a meat with it.

 

Fruit NEVER is eaten with a meat. :ack2:

 

I also have a huge aversion to mixed textures. I find it disgusting when people want to add pickles, nuts, celery etc into they egg/chicken salads. All of those things are fine on the side but just not in the sandwich fixings.

 

So if given a choice, I'd vote "yes you eat weird" but since as you can see I have my own food issues, I will admit I'm not the most objective audience.

[Shellers]

I do not eat Mayo.:ack2:

 

Same here! I don't eat anything with mayo in it. :ack2::ack2::ack2:

[Annie Laurie]

I don't really eat anything listed, but I do like egg salad sandwiches with mayo and lots of chopped dill pickle. I'm sure it would taste fine with tuna, but I avoid eating tuna.

 

I dislike Nutella- I find it too sweet, but I love peanut butter.

 

A weird sandwich my dad always ate was fried egg and peanut butter.

[tomandlorih]

Bananas and pineapple paired with MAYO??? To show my age... Like, Gag me with a spoon! LOL The rest aren't bad but I agree with pp that cucumbers go with cream cheese not mayo=D

 

And I do hope you mean real mayo not Miraclewhip! :D

Nutella is very sweet but I love chocolate and hazelnut and found this.. not sick sweet(not super smooth either) I don't know if they have it where you live but you might like it=D

Another southern gal here wondering why the poll didn't include fried egg and mayo sandwiches, a true classic.

[Dandelion]

The only thing I've ever eaten (or would eat) from this list is the chicken salad. I eat mayo maybe once every 6 months...

[Audrey]

If you let me eat the mayo I make, then I would eat the tomato/mayo, cuke/mayo and the chicken salad. Peanut butter and fish make me gak and nutella is one of the nastiest things you can get away with calling a "food." :ack2:

[mommaduck]

Does Mayo mean just Mayo or does it include Miracle Whip. I don't use Mayo.

[Hoot]

I'm a Raw Vegan so... none of the above. :tongue_smilie:

[Forget-Me-Not]

I guess I'm picky. The only thing I'd eat on that list is the tuna salad. Maybe the chicken salad, but I'd pick out the nuts and grapes.

[LucyStoner]

None of the above as I don't eat sandwiches. Gluten free bread is depressing to me so I don't waste my starchy carbs on it. So I eat lettuce wraps instead. I do like mayo within reason, more so if it is homemade (YUM). My fave fake sandwich/lettuce wrap is turkey, tomato, onion, cucumber and avocado with a little mayo.

[Tap]

Nope, to all of them.

 

I would eat chicken salad with grapes if served to me (I would likely pick them out if possible), but I would never make it that way.

[MyLittleWonders]

Not southern, but we love fried egg sandwiches with mayo. We also include ketchup too, though, so that probably makes it more gross in most people's minds. :tongue_smilie:

[Wren5]

fried egg & mayo, yumm! (especially if you fry a thick slice of bologna to go with it :001_smile:

 

Anybody add mayo to their peanut butter & banana sandwiches, or is it just me?? My dh looked down on those sandwiches for years until I made him try one! He wouldn't make one himself but had to admit they taste pretty good :D

[Amber in AUS]

You missed the none of the above option. I wouldn't eat any of what you've listed.

[Alice]

My favorite, not listed, is apple and peanut butter.

[Kathryn]

You missed the none of the above option. I wouldn't eat any of what you've listed.

 

:iagree:

[Laura Corin]

I'd eat most of the mayo dishes if pushed, but the only one I make for myself is tomato and mayo sandwich. I had one yesterday, in fact.

 

Laura

[DarlaS]

Banana and peanut butter on toast.

 

:iagree:

 

I add honey too. It can get a little messy though.

[Lolly]

Can't believe NO ONE shares my love of pineapple sandwiches..y'all don't know what you are missing. They are DELICIOUS (in high pitched singing voice)

 

just ate a pineapple, shredded cheddar cheese and mayo sandwich for lunch :p Thought I would rub it in how much awesomeness y'all are missing out on :lol:

 

:DI was just about to tell you to add in some cheese on that sandwich! Personally, I prefer American to cheddar for pineapple sandwiches.

 

I eat most of your list. Take out the nuts and cucumbers for me. All are best on white bread. I prefer wheat for most sandwiches, but those combos demand white. Hmmm. I think I might just make myself a pineapple, cheese, and mayo right now. it sounds SO good. (Canned on a sandwich. Fresh has too much tang, though I prefer it most other times.)

[Dealea86]

Wow, I must be a bad Southern girl. Growing up, our family ate egg salad (and yes, I do prefer it with dill pickles, though Mom always made it with relish), potato salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, and pimento cheese spread. All with mayonnaise, though Mom (like me) prefers mustard to mayonnaise and would usually go about half-mustard, half-mayo for all except the pimento cheese.

 

We never used mayonnaise as a spread for sandwiches. I think all of us (except maybe Mom, who can tolerate it better) order our sandwiches at restaurants without mayonnaise. For years I couldn't use the stuff without gagging. I finally found a solution: squeezing it out of a bottle rather than scooping it out of the jar. And I have to pretend it's butter rather than mayonnaise, or else I still gag. But at least I'm able to make some yummy sandwich spreads now. :)

 

And I agree that Duke's is the best. DH brought home kroger brand mayonnaise one time, defending his choice by saying it had the same ingredients as Duke's and was cheaper. True, but....

[eaglei]

The best is thick slices of tomato, still warm from the garden on white bread spread with mayo and salt sprinkled on top.

 

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)

 

Yep! Gotta be white bread and tomato still warm from the garden - YUM!

 

Just curious, does anyone else like dill pickles on their grilled cheese sandwiches??

 

Yes! Although I sometimes simply put bite sizes of pickles as a side with the sandwich. Either way, it's delish!

Fried egg and mayo with cheese - YUM! Occasionally with lettuce added, too. My family splits between preferring these with mayo or ketchup.

[Mandylubug]

ha ha, y'all and your Duke preferences.. I like Duke until it makes me sick... I have to get Hellmans made with Canola. Very limited selection that isn't made with soy oil.. however, just a few years ago that wasn't the case. Soy is taking over the grocery world :glare:

[BatmansWife]

 

DH says I eat weirdly.

 

What? No thinly sliced turkey, extra sharp cheddar cheese, and pickle sandwich?

 

:iagree: with your dh. Poor guy....I wonder what he thinks every day he opens up his lunch box? :lol: Just kidding!

 

I couldn't vote....so I don't know what the results are.

ha ha, I do not force my wierdness upon him. He typically eats subway for lunch or leftovers from dinner which are typically the normal southern cuisine of meatloaf, spaghetti, baked chicken, etc.
