I’ll sheepishly go first:

In the 1980s, Cheerios released a novel recipe called “Hot Buttered Cheerios.” It’s just Cheerios heated in butter in a saute pan with a bit of salt added. I’m mildly ashamed to say I still love it. Something very comforting about it.

And growing up, whenever she’d fry hamburgers, my mom would take a piece of bread and soak up the grease and crusty bits left in the pan and share it with me. Horribly, disgustingly unhealthy. But heaven.

My husband lovingly thinks I’m mad for eating both.
 
I love peanut butter and tomato sandwiches.

My brother liked onion and mustard sandwiches.

I’ve been known to put hot sauce on virtually any food… eggs, spaghetti, tuna, cereal, coffee, cookies…

Hey, don’t knock it. They’re gooooooood particularly on rye or pumpernickel.

That caused an actual gag reaction for me🤢. You should be either ashamed or proud for admitting this😋

Be proud, @StephieNorthCo! Fellow food freaks unite! 😂
 
Fried pickles might seem weird to people that aren’t from the same region that I live in, but I like fried pickles
 
I can’t really say anything, I used to put water in my cereal because I would run out of milk and I didn’t want Dry Cereal.
 
That just sounds like it would clash to me. To each their own, though.

My mother did that too. I’m pretty sure it was a common practice left over from the days when people were stretching the hamburger through large families. Mom would even put butter or margarine on the bread first before sopping the grease. Yes it’s very good. I don’t think it’s that unhealthy, Mom lived to be 89.
 
We used to have the bread in the burger grease too! It was quite delicious! My aunt used to do it with bacon grease too. 😋

And yes, as Bear said, we did it to stretch the food budget. 5 in our family.

And you have the nerve to mock @StephieNorthCo’s choice of sandwich? 😂
 
I don’t eat anything that weird IMHO, but have gotten the fish eye for buying hot dogs with nothing on them. As a child I never put condiments on my hot dogs except for maybe a little margarine on the bun. I didn’t start eating hot dogs with condiments till I was about 20 and even now my preferred hot dog/ kielbasa etc either has just a little mustard on it, or nothing on it. Apparently buying a hot dog with nothing is odd enough that some counter staff thinks I am buying it to feed to a dog in my car instead of eat it myself. I don’t have a dog.

Also when I have cupcakes and remove the paper from the bottom and it has cake all over it, I will often chew the wrapper to get all the cake flavor out of it and then throw the chewed paper wad away. As a kid I would swallow the chewed paper wad for the amusement of my classmates. It’s not terribly digestible though. A couple of my cats also like the cake residue on the wrappers so sometimes I give them the wrapper instead of chewing it.
