What will be next? Pepsi in milk?

Maple bacon doughnuts sound OK to me. When I was teaching and assigned to breakfast duty, I saw kids pour orange juice over Fruit Loops, but I don’t even want to think about ketchup.

(ټ) all these hybrid foods!

GMOs are getting out of control

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

I thought it had been established that ketchup is a vegetable, not a froot.

I’m still mulling over bananas on pizza from yesterday’s Believe it or Not….

Jalapenos: what to do with food that’s doesn’t taste good.

S-pices were originally intended to mask the taste of rancid meat.

Froot Loops? Yech. What a way to spoil perfectly good ketchup.

My mind is refusing to grapple with the concept of blueberry feta pizza.

I knew someone that did mashed potatoes & Kool Aid.

The worst: fruit in beer.

I have maple syrup in my coffee today. Nice change from the norm.

Garlic ice cream

A long time ago at a bed and breakfast not so far away, my partner and I met a nice lady who used the kitchen to make sandwitches for her family for the trip home. Whole wheat bread, peanut butter, a thick slice of vidalia onion and strips of sweet bell pepper. She admitted it sounded wierd but suggested we try it at least once. It was rather good.

I remember seeing a sign for “fat free fortune cookies” at a Chinese restaurant. There was a pillar at the end of the word fat, which seemed like it was obscuring an extra letter. In my mind, it became “fate-free fortune cookies”. :)

I put ketchup on most vegetables

Maple Bacon Donuts!!! I love them.

I worked for a while in a building with a donut shop on the ground floor. They had Long John donuts with a big strip of thick-cut bacon on top, all covered in a maple glaze. On Fridays, they did a two-for-one deal. I would get two just to have that extra strip of maple-glazed bacon. They foolishly never took my suggestion to sell extra strips of maple-glazed bacon, and they wound up going out of business.

Are a few of you trying to make me sick?? (I HAVE tried Pepsi & milk though . It’s not half bad! )

Adding “Fruit Loops” to the unfortunately spelled list.

For a real stomach-turner food idea, see today’s “Brevity”. ::gak::

Only in America (smh)

I’ve actually had a raspberry chocolate beer from a Polish brewery . While not my usual beer fare , it was quite good.

I’ve never seen blueberries on pizza
