amaryllis Housemate	posted 07-15-2002 12:28 PM quote: Originally posted by dzine!: Also, my bf made me a grilled cheese the other day and he put mayonnaise on the sandwich before grilling it... What's up with that? Oh my God, my best friend in high school turned me on to that. Butter on one side, mayo on the other--put the butter side down in a pan, layer cheddar on top, cover with another slice of bread with butter on the top (exposed to the air) and then fry. You can feel it clogging your arteries, but it's so good and rich. I don't think I've had one in five years. IP: Logged

What's up with that? Loved him for cooking for me so I tried to choke down as much of it as I could... oh, but it was so gross. I guess I have this one too, because that's the way I always make Grilled Cheese. IP: Logged
ChaosDaisy Housemate	posted 07-15-2002 05:26 PM quote: Originally posted by BellaDonna: I'm a huge lemon fan. They are so bad for your teeth. But I love them with salt. I also looove squeezing them in ice trays with a dash of salt and sucking on the cubes. I could live on green olives out of the jar. A pimento cheese with green olive sandwhich is so yummy. Frosted Mini Wheats dipped in peanut butter is good, too. Fattening but good as hell... a bacon sandwhich with mustard and cheese. Crackers, cheese and pickles. Chips and fries on my sandwhiches. Sometimes just a chip sandwhich. Wow...I eat those exact same things. I love lemon ice in water. Green olives are so yummy. But espically with piminto cheese. I love piminto cheese. I haven't had that in ages! Do they still sell that in kraft slices? My favorite sandwich when I was little was a peanut butter grape jelly bananna and cheese sandwhich. Now that I think about it I want some of those things now...OH this is gonna gross out my roommate I know. IP: Logged
Ms. Moneypenny Housemate	posted 07-16-2002 05:42 AM My favorite sandwhich is pimento cheese, mustard, chips and pickles. Mmmmm... IP: Logged
kittenkat Housemate	posted 07-16-2002 10:52 AM When my brother was little his absolute favorite sandwich was yellow French's mustard and GRAPE jelly on white bread. BLECK BLECK Double BLECK!!! Oh how I love to torment him with that memory! IP: Logged
amaryllis Housemate	posted 07-16-2002 11:09 AM Weird food combos: in conversation with a friend today, she mentioned making a black olive and black currant pie. She was kidding, but the very idea made me nervous. IP: Logged
yambf Housemate	posted 07-19-2002 05:51 PM Tuna salad with pistachios in it. A restaurant across from my school makes it that way (also with red onion mixed in) and it's yummy! IP: Logged

yambf Housemate	posted 07-21-2002 10:52 AM I think so. I haven't tried to make it myself yet, but I will one day soon. IP: Logged
amandafaith Housemate	posted 07-21-2002 09:00 PM Tuna with mustard is excellent. Also, and I HIGHLY recommend this, strawberries compliment salmon surprisingly well. I will bake some salmon with a honey-mustard glaze and then eat it with strawberry slices. Everyone I've ever served it to loves it, too! IP: Logged
BellaDonna Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 09:20 AM Daisy, they make pimento cheese SLICES? I'm craving a green olive & pim. cheese sandwich now. IP: Logged
BellaDonna Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 09:24 AM Oh, Oh, OH... I forgot! My mom taught me how to make tuna patties, similar to salmon patties. Can of tuna drained, egg white, bread or cracker crumbs, combine, fry or bake till brown. SO YUMMY, and not too fishy. IP: Logged
Lis Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 10:10 AM Everyone always looks at me funny for mac & cheese with ketchup on top. My mom eats it that way too. Especially good with slices of hot dog or hamburger mixed in. Although not that weird, I love tuna salad with lots of lemon juice. All mixed together with the mayo-like salad dressing, onions, celery, and pepper. Tuna salad of just tuna and mayo is gross. IP: Logged

I'm with you on Tuna and mayo though... the mayo needs to be downplayed with other ingredients for me to stomach it. IP: Logged
Brookiebaby Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 10:40 AM My father's favorite sandwich is roast beef, peanut butter, mayo, mustard, salt/pepper, monteray jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. YUCK! IP: Logged

Especially good with slices of hot dog or hamburger mixed in. I'll eat mac and cheese that way (except for the hot dog - I've never liked them even as a kid). Most of the time though I use tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce. In fact lunch today was mac and cheese with spaghetti sauce. IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 11:14 AM Everyone here eats mac'n'cheese with ketchup. Or more like, eats kraft dinner with ketchup. Canadians eat massive quantities of kraft dinner for some reason. Two years ago a student at a local university got scurvy from eating nothing but kraft dinner. IP: Logged

Canadians eat massive quantities of kraft dinner for some reason. Two years ago a student at a local university got scurvy from eating nothing but kraft dinner. There is a classic Kids in the Hall skit where scienctists want to study two guys who eat nothing but kraft dinner and ketchup. They win a free lifetime supply of kraft dinner and ketchup. Then they get a free lifetime supply of tapeworm food. It cracks me up. IP: Logged
BionicGirl Housemate	posted 07-22-2002 02:27 PM When you guys say "Kraft dinner," do you just mean Kraft macaroni and cheese? I've never heard anyone use that term. IP: Logged
starrie8 Subletter	posted 07-22-2002 04:00 PM Corned beef and potato chip sandwiches... although I haven't had this since I was like 10. IP: Logged

fluffygurl Housesitter	posted 07-23-2002 01:45 AM > bella donna the way I have posted it, it is but very yummy! IP: Logged
Lis Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 06:50 AM OK...mini-tangent...but someone earlier posted about their love of lemons and salt and I'm just posting to say that's also an awesome stain remover! My aunt just used it to get some unidentifable, old stain out of some comfy pants of mine that I had planned to throw out. I'm going to have to test this on my white clothing now. IP: Logged
SLourdes Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 06:56 AM quote: Originally posted by BionicGirl: When you guys say "Kraft dinner," do you just mean Kraft macaroni and cheese? I've never heard anyone use that term. It's actually called Kraft dinner in Canada (as in, it's printed on the boxes and everything). And from what I could tell when I visited last spring, there are other kinds of Kraft dinner (spaghetti, for example). However, I think everyone here is referring to the mac and cheese variety.

Lis Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 07:06 AM LOL...I'm a compulsive poster today! It's also referred to as Kraft Dinner (with ketchup) in the Barenaked Ladies song, "If I Had a Million Dollars." OK, I'll shut up now. IP: Logged
SLourdes Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 07:08 AM Yep! I actually bought my mom a big box of Kraft dinner in Canada because we're big BNL fans. IP: Logged
TrendyMatt Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 07:10 AM quote: Originally posted by Lis: It's also referred to as Kraft Dinner (with ketchup) in the Barenaked Ladies song, "If I Had a Million Dollars." OK, I'll shut up now. Thanks - now that's stuck in my head. "We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner But we would eat Kraft Dinner Of course we would, we'd just eat more!" One of my fave snacks from childhood was when my mom would mix candy corn with peanuts in a bowl. If you get just the right mix, it tastes just like a Payday bar! Mmmmm.... IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 08:26 AM Yeah, it's actually called kraft dinner (or D�ner Kraft) in Canada. Everyone calls it KD. A common going-off-to-school gift here is a case of KD and a case of soymilk. Hee. We have kind of a unique hippie/white trash crossover market. And KD is always the plain orange cheddar kind. The other stuff, like the freaky spaghetti stuff or the white cheese kind or the spirals get called Kraft white cheese or Kraft spaghetti or Kraft spirals. IP: Logged
breana Housemate	posted 07-23-2002 12:15 PM Kraft, KD, Kraft spirals.... It's like a crazy Canadian code language! IP: Logged
yambf Housemate	posted 07-24-2002 07:39 PM I love mac and cheese with ketchup! That was a staple of my diet last semester, but I haven't had it in a while. IP: Logged
amandafaith Housemate	posted 07-25-2002 10:35 PM quote: Originally posted by yam: Yeah, it's actually called kraft dinner (or D�ner Kraft) in Canada. Everyone calls it KD. From my newfound love, the book Souvenir of Canada by Douglas Coupland (my birthday present from Yam! Yay!): "Cheese, in fact, plays a wierdly large dietary role in the lives of Canadians, who have a more intimate and intense relationship with Kraft food products than the citizens of any other country. This is not a shameless product plug-- for some reason, Canadians and Kraft products have bonded the way Australians have bonded with Marmite, or the English with Heinz tinned spaghetti. In particular, Kraft macaroni and cheese, known simply as Kraft Dinner, is the biggie, probably because it so precisely laser-targets the favoured Canadian food groups: fat, sugar, starch, and salt. Most college students live on the stuff, and it's not the same as American Kraft Dinner-- I've conducted a taste test and find there's something slightly chemical and off about the U.S. version. I invite you to take the taste test. I'd be happy to hear your conclusion." IP: Logged
becca11 Housesitter	posted 07-26-2002 12:08 AM Oh good god. Australians do not have a thing for marmite. We love vegemite, which is subtly yet importantly different. Yummy salty yeasty good. IP: Logged
Lis Housemate	posted 07-26-2002 09:29 AM Eeewww...Vegemite I guess it's an acquired taste. Several co-workers went to a convention in Australia earlier this year and came back with some. They were daring people who passed in the hallway to try it. One of the girls in my area tried it and told everyone it tasted like puke. After that, wild horses couldn't have dragged me to it. IP: Logged
becca11 Housesitter	posted 07-27-2002 03:13 AM Well it's salty. I think the thing is we grow up eating it every day on toast, or on school lunches. So it gets hardwired into your brain at young age. It is very good for you though - it's high in some of the b group vitamins so very good for hangovers. And just general kiddy wellbeing. I think most o/s people try it the wrong way, like grab huge table spoons (ala peanut butter) when you want to spread it thinly on top of marg/butter. I often eat a grown-up version on Turkish bread when I need reviving. IP: Logged
amandafaith Housemate	posted 08-25-2002 11:00 AM bumping this up to say that I have recently discovered that mustard on cheese pizza is gooooood. . . IP: Logged
tree Housemate	posted 08-25-2002 03:57 PM Yumm! My husband turned me on to cottage cheese with potato chips and doritos on tuna fish sandwiches! Makes my mouth water to just think about it. IP: Logged
ralphyr Housemate	posted 08-25-2002 05:21 PM Sandwiches - Potato chips, ham, banana, cream cheese is optional. I'm so starving drooling reading this thread. IP: Logged
fairystar Housemate	posted 08-25-2002 08:35 PM Buttered popcorn ricecakes with melted cheddar cheese on top. This is one of my favorite childhood foods, and last year when I worked in a grocery store I had it about every other week. I'd buy a pack of ricecakes to keep in the breakroom, and every day I'd get a few slices of cheese from the deli, pop it in the microwave and chow down. I got the wierdest look from my co-workers, but it's so so good! If anyone tries it, let me know what you think. Also good: Joe's Special (I think my mom had it in some diner in San Francisco years ago). You cook up some ground hamburger with diced onion, add frozen spinach, and after it's cooked, dump some ketchup on top. It looks incredibly gross, like something the dog coughed up, but it actually tastes great. I haven't had it in years, but thinking of childhood favs make me think of it...mmmm, I might have to cook some up tomorrow for dinner... IP: Logged
silvermoon1984 Housemate	posted 08-27-2002 06:14 AM Ham & Pinneapple Pizza...haven't had that in a looong time. IP: Logged
