Strange food combinations that you love

I moved from medium rare to medium several years ago. Depends on the beef of course, but MR comes off a bit chewy oftentimes.
 
The first 2 at world market, last 2 at bass pro shop. That Unholy Trinity is goooood. Spontaneous Combustion is hot as hell but gross.

For a Habanero hot sauce this is some of the best I have found. A lot of the sauces just go for heat with no taste, Melindas has both.

Also check out http://www.sometimesitshotter.com in St George Island. Everything is homemade in house. The dry Habanero shake is awesome on pizza. If you order try a jar of the peach Salsa, you will thank me later.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

And on the same subject and strange combinations, Dirty Dick's hot sauce is made with bananas and I've heard it's pretty good. I just don't wanna pay that much for it.

Years ago I watched a 20 year old man eat a whole box of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls in about 5 minutes and washed it down with a quart of Mayfield's chocolate milk.
 
Add a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper to it will add a heat factor you wouldn't normally have too.


Payback for the "time alone with your steak" comment.

:)

Hahahaha! :) That was a while ago. You've been holding on to that this whole time?

While were on the food topic. Who all eats their steak well done?

Overcooking steak is a crime that should be punishable by jail time. Order a hamburger next time instead, it's cheaper.

People who get overcooked steaks are the same ones that put steak sauce on it. Mostly because all the flavor is cooked out of it and it chews like shoe leather.

Haha, naw. I was just being a smartazz and remembered your comment about the steak. Thought it worked out good.:)

Agree.

This is from supported bicycle touring rides in Georgia - pimento cheese spread on a piece of bread, put a dill pickle spear in the center, fold it up and eat it - the "pimento-pickel-dog."

Bit of historical context: At one time, Georgia grew more pimentos than anywhere else in the USA. Despite the nickname, Peach State, pimentos were once Georgia's biggest crop. Locals created pimento cheese spread using the plethora of available pimentos. Across the Southern Piedmont, various locales claim to be pimento cheese's place of origin. Some Yankees argue that it was created "up north," when pimentos were imported from Spain and expensive, and that it spread :)D) to the south only when Southern farmers began to grow pimentos.

The only thing I know for certain is that pimento cheese is sought after on supported bicycle touring rides in Georgia. Rumors of its availability at certain rest stops will change riders' route plans. Years ago, while on one of these supported touring rides, I came upon a rest stop which still had homemade pimento cheese (a local Church group was providing the provisions). I requested pimento cheese on one piece of bread instead of the usual sandwich. I placed a dill pickle spear in the center, folded it up and ate it. Others followed my example. These days, if I'm lucky enough to find pimento cheese available at a rest stop, folks I've never met will ask if I'd like a pimento cheese sandwich or a "pimento-pickle-dog." Go figure...

True story. My mom worked full time at tva..it was summer..i was about 6 and my sister 9 years old. Baby sitter had a huge pool. Lunchtime came early, bout 11 am. She made me a pimento cheese sandwich. I refused to eat that God forsaken garbage. Baby sitter, about 40 years old, says no swimming for me...and i will sit there at the table until i eat it. At 630 or 7 pm when mom came to pick us up...the sammich and i are both still seated at the table. In our entirety. Babysitter fired, me grounded, mom pissed.

Havent eaten that garbage since. Didnt eat it then. That was 34 years ago give or take. Yuck.

That's quite the dedication on yours and the babysitter's part. Why do I get the feeling there is a lot more history between you and this babysitter though?

I believe Pepper Lewis in The Cowboy Way summed it up best when asked how he would like his steak cooked..."Oh, just knock its horns off, wipe its nasty a$$, and chunk it right here on this plate."

Nah...i was only 6. Wasnt devious yet. The only 2 things i can remember about her at all are her pool and the sammich incident. That was in chattanooga. We moved to Knoxville the next year thankfully. Guess my mom fired her for making a 6 year old sit at the kitchen table for 7 hours. Ironically, my mom always made us eat all of our vegetables before leaving the table, and ran a tight ship. Still hate brocoli, spinach, cauliflower, etc because of that. What the heck is a pimento anyway besides a great way to ruin perfectly good cheese? Bout to google it....cheers.
 
I put chili on fried eggs the other day. No idea why, but it was decent.
