I make milk kefer daily, do a secondary ferment, and drink the product a day and a half later. I eat the excess kefir grains.

Also, I mix the kefir with ground flax seends and let that ferment into a slimy porridge, then eat that 1-3 days later.

The kefir makes me wish I could sing in Russian. I can feel the ancient nature of the kefir as I make it and drink it.

Also make kombucha. I eat the scoby.

Perhaps it's coincidental, but my LDL went down ~20 points and my HDL went up ~10 points 6 months after starting the Kombucha (started making the K 2 years ago, most recent labs 1 1/2 years ago). Also started putting raw bitter chocolate in my coffee, so that could be a confounder. No other dietary, body size, or exercise changes that I can think of.

I just plain enjoy the fermented foods. I always tell people to eat something alive every day. The kefir is quite literally teeming with microbes.

PM me if have questions.

Doesn't everybody?

Peanut butter and raisins on a flour tortilla, apparently.

I don't think it's weird at all... Basically just a stripped-down PB&J. But I've had several different friends declare me a weirdo for eating it.

My mom has me over about once a year for fried chicken livers over rice, an old family recipe, my grandma grew up on a chicken farm. Takes about a year for the cholesterol to rebalance after that. But damn it's good. My 8 year old son tried it this year and pronounced it ok to eat. My wife had a bite many years ago when were dating to be polite and has never had any since. My mom is nice enough to bake a chicken breast for her while the rest of us gorge on the feast

few combinations I like that other people can't figure out

White rice and cottage cheese

Sandwich of peanut butter, Miracle whip, white bread, and dipped in canned peach syrup

Dill pickles and milk

Peanut butter, liver sausage, and cheddar on Ritz

And I hate onions

I have durnk chocolate milk with chili. That's about as weird as I get.

If I can't identify it, I don't eat it. And I don't eat at least half of things I CAN identify.

flashguy

Leftover fried cabbage with crumbled crisp bacon... COLD

(No visitors for two days thereafter! LOL)

Frozen croissants!

Apple cores. Some people look at me weird when they see me consume an entire apple.

Also, peanut butter with my yogurt. I think it's delicious. I take a spoonful of peanut butter and eat the yogurt with the PB on the spoon. I slowly consume the peanut butter with each scoop of yogurt.

And then I mix uncooked oatmeal with my Cheerios and raisins.

Raw hamburger. Family always ate it very fresh.

Was in Germany @ 40 years back and walked into a deli where there was row after row of raw hamburger on buns (brotchens) left out under plexiglass with no refrigeration. I didn't think it was fresh enough and didn't buy any, but thought "ahhh hah, I'm not alone". Later in the day wandered into the same place and noted that @ 25 % was still for sale, now looking gelatinous in non- AC room in the 90 degree weather.

I notice a few peanut butter concoctions. Mine is PB and corn flakes. Hard to eat but yummmm E.

I don't think these are weird but other people do; my family likes wilted kale, seaweed soup, and kombucha.

Regularly? Cow tongue tacos (lengua). MMMmmmmm!!!

I make my own deer heart pastrami also.

1 can of spaghettios, ~ 8 or 9 original flavor Doritos chips (crumbled into the spagghetios after they've been cooked) and two medium sized (preferably soft) chocolate chip cookies (also crumbled) plus a dash of siracha sauce.

Stir and start spoonin'

Fried squirrel.
Possum Stew.
Octopus and squid ceviche.
Sea Urchin.

Macaroni and cheese with a can of tuna mixed in. Sounds gross, but I have had it since I was a kid.

Can of Spaghetti-O's with a can of Ranch Style beans stirred together, heated up and served with flour tortillas. Deer camp dinner.

You consider this weird?

Jeez, we kids practically lived on these. Or peanut butter and onion slices. Of course the onions were fresh out of the garden.

My husband did, so I just assumed I was weird!

This onion thing, though, this I may have to try. He keeps pushing the pb banana thing at me, but doesn't understand, for me it's about the crunch, and the tang mixed with the smooth peanut buttery flavor. Mmmm.

Not for many years, but as a kid I enjoyed mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches. Nothing else- just white bread with mustard on one side and mayo on the other.
