Raw potatoes are good, like eating or chewing starch. I’ve never actually eaten laundry starch though I’ve heard that some people can get cravings for it. I just stick to the occasional chaw of raw potato.
 
I would be wary of laundry starch. It probably has chemical additives that one’s system wouldn’t like.

People who do this generally buy an old-fashioned brand that is made of cornstarch only and comes in a block form, not in a bottle. However, even eating the pure kind of starch can bring on health problems, so it’s best if one either doesn’t eat it or eats very little. Craving starch can also be a sign of a health problem.

It’s, uh, also not food, right? Is this like the old timey equivalent of eating Tide Pods?

condiments on my hot dogs

I want to a college that had a lot of kids from Philly and a lot of kids from New York, and the Philly kids would pile the condiments on their hot dogs and New York kids would have one little line of mustard.

The Harrisburg kids were split evenly half and half.
 
I like to dip pretzels in tartar sauce.

Bare hard pretzels are simply too dry

Oh my. My father would do that with pork chops. Cook the pork chops in a pan. Then dip the bread.

I do that if I make them baked on a sheet pan. Also for roast beef. A crusty piece of bread dipped in the pan juices is almost as good as the roast itself.

It’s considered a form of pica, same as chewing/ eating clay. It’s been fairly common in the American South in the past and has persisted into modern times. You can find a lot of articles and discussions about it online even today.
 
I grew up in New York. Just mustard, sometimes sauerkraut.

I used to like hotdogs from the cart too. When I was a little girl and I would run errands with my mom a treat would be to get a hotdog from the cart. There was one lady who went to that my mom would tell me was safe to eat because she kept the cart clean.
 
Cart hotdogs in college is what made me start to get them with everything. I did not attend college in NYC, but my city had a ton of hot dog carts just like NYC. The hot dogs from the boiling water were more tasteless than I was used to, and were better with everything on them. However, I prefer a hot dog with enough taste to stand on its own. Roller dogs from 7-11 are generally better than hot water cart dogs.

They were probably trying to compete with Chex mix.

I can’t remember off hand if Chex and Cheerios are the same producer.

I thought @StephieNorthCo’s peanut butter and tomato sandwich was the cap of this thread, but this broke the ceiling and horrified me more. 😀😀
 
I have a buddy who regularly goes wild mushroom foraging with his wife and posts his finds.
They are fun to look at; however, I would never want to eat dinner over at his house, even though I know he studies this and has managed to stay alive doing it for some years.
The “Mushroom Capital of the USA” is just a few miles away and I am happy to just eat their pedestrian output, I don’t need woodsy shrooms.
 
Me too…out in the paddock fresh :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

This afternoon I decided to get a snack and walked past Turkish delight,Licorice …and picked out a jar of anchovies 🙃
 
I like mushrooms, but am wary of picking them in the wild. When prepared right, they are tasty and flavorful. But if you’re eating them without adding anything to them first, then of course they’re gonna taste bland and disgusting eek.

This is true. It’s called kaolin. I’ve tried it and it surprisingly tasted like dirt to me. I did just pick it up from an exposed vein on a dirt road, so maybe the kind sold in more rural convenient stores tastes a little better.

I love fried pickles.

I guess the weirdest food I eat is a banana and mayonnaise sandwich

With peanut butter on one bread slice—yum-yum! We also would place a few plump raisins from a newly opened box. Great energy snack!
