When I was over in Scotland, after a couple of months I started getting nostalgic for things like Kraft peanut butter, etc.
I enjoy a nice cheese and pickle sandwich sometimes (Kraft singles sliced process cheese and Bick's Yum Yum pickles on bread). So Andy heard me say I miss having a nice cheese and pickle sandwich.
He made me a sandwich with cheddar cheese and something called "Branston Pickle" - uggh! it was dark brown and was essentially pickled vegetables - yuk - it was disgusting and I could not eat it
Bless him, trying to make his beloved something fancy.
I loved this!
I know, it's funny as hell!
And you'd think after this episode the man might think about cooking a meal for us sometime, but still no, almost 24 years of marriage and I think he's made dinner three times, and it's just a box of frozen something thrown into the oven.
I played soccer, and when you're sprinting to get into position or chase down an offender, your mouth is open, you're panting, and you catch one. You can either stop and retch on the field, or swallow and keep going. I always chose the latter.

Okay - now that really IS strange!
Must be octupus for me. Not the ordinary way. That i have done many times and liked. But i was on vacation in crete and i usually try local specialities when abroad. This octupussy come in on a plate and I was completely certain that it would run of the plate in a moment. Looked like it had just been dragged up out of the water some moments ago, put on a plate and then carried in. All the arms still attached to the rest, you could still se the little cups( or whatever you call them that is under each arm). Didn't taste too bad though but i prefer to eat octupus in anotherway. A little rubbery but eatable and there were some read wine to swallow it down with. It looked very strange though.
Surprise cereal. My kids always left a little in each box. I would mix them all together and it was surprise cereal.

I guess if you are expecting a chutney like substance, then it is good on its own merit - I was just taken aback as to me, the pickles I was looking forward to were these ones:
Yum Yum pickles are sweet, crunchy and green - oh well - he meant well!
Old water? Used first for what? Bath? Dishes?
I am not going for dinner at your home. (Not that I was invited or anything.)
Strangest dinner I remember....
You know those boxed taco kits? I had cooked up ground beef, added the powdery spice stuff, chopped up onions and peppers, tomato, etc, and grated cheese. everything was ready so everyone could top their own tacos. I stuck the shells (the hard corn shells) in the oven to warm...and turned it to high. Burned them to a crisp.
So, I opened a bag of potato chips (plain), crushed them a bit and put the ground meat on top of it. Let everyone put what toppings they wanted on their own plate.
It was actually much better than it sounds. We now make it that way and use Doritos corn chips.

I ate shark once a long time ago when I was on the east coast (before I became a vegetarian). I just remember it being really salty and I didn't like it. I was never a big fan of seafood, though. 
When I attended Culinary Arts, I had to try everything I cooked. I put my foot down with mutton though. I refused and lost marks that day. I do like escargot and I will put up with frog legs.
Do frog legs really taste like chicken?!
...did they at least let you wear the hat while you ate?....I ate shark once a long time ago when I was on the east coast (before I became a vegetarian). I just remember it being really salty and I didn't like it. I was never a big fan of seafood, though.
