Wasabi peas are my favourite snack of choice right now. Jam with cheese is another. One of my other favourite things is chocolate covered ginger. I have odd tastes. Always have. It was my Dad's fault.

Chocolate covered ginger Chaplin? Can you buy that? I use to love sugared ginger slices.

Eew, I hate the chocolate ginger ones. I get boxes specially made to exclude those ones.

You can buy chocolate covered ginger however it is getting harder to find. My favourite is from a Chocolate Shop in Ottawa that makes it by hand with dark chocolate. My friend Kellie who lives in Ottawa brought me some for my birthday all the way down on the bus which was a 5 hr trip.

This isn't the oddest food I've eaten, but it is odd. Here's the deal. I can't have cheese because I have a lactose intolerance. I can't have fruit because the acids give me severe cramps. BUT if I eat fruit and cheese together, I am usually okay, cuz they balance each other out. I find that just plain weird, myself. Anyhow, when I am dieting I am always eating an apple with cheese (right now it's a red delicious apple with a slice of Edam) or cottage cheese and fruit cocktail combo.

When I was growing up we enjoyed a cold slice of watermelon eaten with a side of white bread slathered with peanut butter. Whenever we made popcorn we would also slice up apples to eat with it - something about the sweet/salty combination. My DS & DH, although leary at first, now enjoy both combinations.

I used to love salt on my watermelon. Salt on mangoes was good too.

Pepper on strawberries is yummy and also on melon. I also love balsamic vinegar on strawberries. By the way live in Toronto, Canada. Never heard of Purdy's and I dislike buying stuff online. I found a chocolate place near Mame's that has chocolate covered ginger however, at 20.00 for a tiny box of it I cringed. I will have to really think before splurging on that!!!!!!!!!!

I thought 'salt on watermelon' was the rule.

Not to my hubby or his friends. I'm the only southerner in the bunch and the only one that likes salt on watermelon. Must be a regional thing.

All my melons must have salt on them, water, cants and honeydews.

NEVER heard of salt on melons... (I'd say that's just weird, but don't want to be rude. LOL)

Me neither, Mame, though, I don't put salt on (or in) anything except corn, so I'm not about to try it. When I was in Montreal, I remember watching horrified many, many times as people put salt in their beer.

It all started when I was a youngster in West Virgina, so it sure sounds like it might be a southern inspired thing.

I'm born and raised in California so I don't know where it came from for me.

Anyone else eat peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches? They were a staple in our lunch boxes -- kinda' like pb on celery. Still love them, but have yet to meet anyone else who ate them.
