ooh chips (fries), cheese and coleslaw haven't had that in ages must get hubby to bring some in tomorrow night.
Odd food I like? Raw salmon. I wouldn't mind biting the thing alive. Homemade ice-cream I make with whatever I fancy. Last one pistachio, egg yolk, rum and...hierbabuena (a mint hybrid)
My favourite food is chocolate ice cream..nothing peculiar in that. My favourite taste is roasted chicken skin....she could roast whole chickens in order to eat the skin - leaving the rest, which would be odd/ extravagant.
pasta! i could eat it happily [in its various forms], 7 days a week... could have something to do with my being half sicilian/italian...
I would look for either: - a fruit that's not common (papaya, mango, kiwi) -- depends on where your are in the world, and these days everything is common, likely... so, the 'or': - a weird combination of two foods (some have been brainstormed in this thread), e.g., putting honey on cookies, and doing this very frequently all day. Can be a health tick, or an eating disorder.
Kiwi, but have her eat the skin as well. I do that, and everyone gives me the WTF look. I sometimes do it just to get that look. And I think it tastes good.
I really enjoy dipping regular potato chips in sour cream. It's one of my favorite snacks. Another odd thing I enjoy is spreading mayonaise on tomatoes, then sprinkling them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ranch with most anything is pretty awesome. My favorite seafood is crawfish. Basically a miniature mud-lobster. Raw oysters are DA BOMB! Put some horseradish, lemon juice, and cocktail sauce on that and bottom's up!
I like kiwis with skin, too Feels furry and funny on the tounge. And I eat everything with tons of chili... "normal" people can't eat anyting I've cooked. I put chili into chocolate and jam and cookies and everything. Same for wasabi, just that chili burns much longer so I use it more often. But I LOVE wasabi-cheese! I also love raw fish and raw meat and I really like blood pudding... I also like to buy danish vanilla sauce (same fat content as cream) and drink half a liter of it for breakfast (half a liter because I can never stop before the pack is empty... tastes too good!). After it I'm usually very sick but very happy. And I usually split my food into its components. Like when eating a mars, chocolate first, then caramel, and then the fluffy stuff... like that ^^ Always looks like a food massacre, but I like it much more that way. Yeah I know that's disgusting -.- But maybe it helped...
Anything and everything that deals with pasta! Love the stuff, can't live without it! I love all types of cheeses and sauces on it too! I like it made into a homemade or just from the box.
Won't work for her, per se, but you may turn up in a future book. I don't know what to say exactly...
I heard that Germany(?) or somewhere have interesting combinations like spaghetti bolognese and ice cream or something. I can't remember any others but yeah, perhaps combining a hot and cold meal together?
That's a great idea, but she's human, not a cat and since it's not a fantasy it may look a bit more odd than intended if she runs around eating mice Eunoia- Hot and cold meals together, maybe some potential there, though I may gag everytime I write it. kazpa- Hadn't thought of that! My son does that karem- Did you have any particular kind in mind? Or just seafood in general?
It's not spaghetti bolognese with ice cream, it's just a special sort of dessert called "spaghetti ice cream" but there's no spaghetti in it, it's just supposed to look like spaghetti bolognese. Actually, it's vanilla ice cream pressed through a kind of sieve so it gets that spaghetti-like form. Then you put strawberry sauce on top (looks like the bolognese sauce) and rasped white chocolate on top of the strawberry sauce (should look like parmesan cheese). So it's not really something exotic. Germans don't usually combine cold and hot food... not to my knowledge. Typically, it's a warm meal for lunch, bread and stuff like butter, marmalade, honey, cheese, sausage... for breakfast and dinner. Well, and beer. Sometimes even for breakfast (Bavarian style: Beer, veal sausage, sweet mustard and a pretzel) But in genereal, of course there are some things that might seem exotic to people from USA in other countries. How about Swedish meatballs with cranberry jam? I love that one... Or Estonia: Pickled herring for breakfast. Just great ^^
Does it have to be an odd food combo. Why not keep it simple, after all President Regan (or was it Bush) had a thing for jelly beans. In fiction Kojac sucked a lollypop. I think the simpler the better and the quirk could be the choice of food as with Kojac - a grown man and a lolly.
Smoked oysters. Venison sticks & syrup. A "bullpen" sandwich: mayo & tomato, basically. Sour kraut with green olives & chunks of onion/pickle. Raw potato sandwich. Caviar. Boiled sparrow/lizard eggs. Fried bugs: crickets, grasshoppers, ect. - a delicacy in many countries. Crab butter. Fish eyes. Brains.
No. Unless you are talking about molecular cooking or fusion cuisine. Ah, I see that senkacekic has already solved the mystery. How about cold soups? I'm in Russia right now, they have a traditional kind of cold soup called Okroshka, which is based on a kind of bread beer called kwass with vegetables in it. May include meat or mushrooms as well.
I love chili. I make my own and serve it on rice and I love love love it. And chicken gumbo. Louisiana has some of the best food I've ever tasted. And smoked oysters on Triscuits. Probably my favorite snack. And bacon and egg sandwiches - YUM! And watermelon.
The food doesn't necessarily have to be "odd" to make her real. I have a character who is fairly addicted to Starbursts. The food isn't odd, it's that she eats it so much that makes it odd. But, if you still want odd foods, I can help you there. I tend to eat strange things that make other people wince... Pepsi in milk Poptarts or toast in yogurt Orange malt Eggs and syrup Quesodillas in soy sauce Tacos with soy sauce Mashed potatoes and meat mixed together There are a few others, but there are some for you. ~JM
