Weird but tasty foods

Eggs with pasta sauce. Did this just yesterday, it’s pretty good.

I think that fruity jello molds made with vegetables are weird. I don’t eat OR like them.

I can think of quite a few. I have an adventurous palate.

Kosher Prosciutto (got it at Pomegranate)

Elk

Venison

Beitzim (got them at Pic N Pay)

@ mod 42, kasha varnishkas is my 5 year old sister’s favorite shabbos dish.

@WIY,

That would be so difficult for me, for both the reason that I am a big fan of all the things I have tried, and also because I am one not to play kashrus politics (I accept all hashgachas whose standards I know to be adequate for the items they certify. For example, I use Pic n Pay because I know Rabbi Gavrielov to be ehrliche, learned, and in it l’shem shamayim. I know R’ Saffra and trust the fact that he is somech on the same shita of Tosfos on cheese that Rov Soloveitchik held by.)

So here it goes:

The Dairy Kosher Greek Lunch at Kehila Kedosha Janina

Aufschnitt from Wasserman and Lemberger

OH Danish Kringle

Kosher Filet Mignon

The flakiness of the fleshig apple pie

Kimchee (produced by Adamah at Isabella Freedman Retreat Center, Vaad of Hartford)

Never knew anyone that ever heard of that stuff. My parents love it while I can’t even touch it.

I would add:

Truffles

Hot dogs with marshmallow fluff

corn and spinach crepes

quesadillas

Fried Pita stuffed with cheese and tomatoes

omelet with peas

scrambled eggs with couscous

Sephardic dishes such as

yebra

machshi (onion, tomato)

kibbeh

lachmagine

Canolis arent weird, they are just awesome

One thing weird I do eat is savory french toast. While some like their french toast sweet, I can’t stand it.

I take slices of whole grain or white bread, dip in egg beaten with milk, salt, and pepper, and fry in a little canola oil. I drain them and eat them with butter and ketchup.
