Without doubt my personal food favourite is raw carrots dipped in taramasalata - which for anyone who's never heard of it, is a dip composed of olive oil, pink fish roe, and seasoning which originates from Greece. My daughter and youngest grand-daughters are also keen fans of this snack, so maybe there's something hereditary there? I often have just this and nothing else for lunch, which is even nicer with a glass of white wine to accompany it.
Every other food I eat is fine, but nothing else comes even close to this one for enjoyment. Has anyone else got 'unusual' food favourites?

Two , I think. Well I love ALL food (except pickles and broad beans), and ALL desserts in particular. There are two that I adore :
avocado with french dressing.
asparagus with butter.
Then there are new potatoes with mint and butter
Emmentaler cheese.
Oh dear that's four already.
Hummus.
olives.
Hmmmmm

Shellfish, lobster, spider crab etc comes pretty high on my list of favourites but I am not sure that it comes as high as really well cooked (as in rare and juicy) roast beef with crispy roast potatoes. For a really rare treat, nothing beats KFC though - I guess that could be considered an odd choice.

An unusual favorite food... probably artichokes. I know they're becoming more common in recipes, especially the marinated artichoke hearts, but a good fresh artichoke, steamed with lemon water and served with butter for dipping... that's a lovely thing!

I love Braunschweiger. With horseradish! That's two, I guess, but it makes for a wonderful sandwich and, historically, Braunschweiger is patently unpopular around here. As a kid I wouldn't even take a whiff of it but now it's a real treat.

Oh, and no offense intended AT ALL (to each his own, and thank goodness life works that way ) but I must admit to being dashed by the raw carrots and fish eggs. At once? It makes my belly hurt just to imagine it . But I've got this "thing" against carrots of any variety. Love artichokes and asparagus, though, if that redeems me at all...

Oh, sorry . Here's the scoop on Braunschweiger...

My dad loves braunschweiger and horseradish. yick.

Hmmm.... Not to keen on the sound of liver sausage.

Reminds me of a man i met once who order about 3 extra servings of sauerkrat (I think that's how you spell it) on his hotdog. I actually found the smell putrid enough... Let alone the taste!

This reminds me of an epicurean adventure I had some time back.

It was at the Gilroy, California garlic festival. The garlic ice cream was actually quite delightful!

I enjoy Mum's spaghetti bolgnaise, she makes it the way I like it! And anything chocolately is good with me...in moderation

Prof electro I hear that chilli ice cream is also realy good though I have never tried it.
After living in the Middle East for five years, I love Babaganoush (eggplant salad) with pita bread and like Aramis, I could sit down and eat it all. A lot of Middle Eastern foods are similar (if not the same as) Greek food and most are realy tasty.

My friend used to pig out on carrots, until her skin turned yellow!

Too much carotene Sue!!

Mmm, I love everything I can't have . . . pizza, pickled herrings, mussels . . . they are the main few that leap to mind right now, but the list is endless (mostly savoury stuff tho', not much of a sweet tooth here!)

Mmmmmm Dark (Bournville) Chocolate.

I guess this could also go in the "What do you miss from childhood?" thread, but as it's food related I'll pop it in here.

I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house as a child, and was regularly collected from there at dinnertime when my Dad finished work. My grandmother often slipped us 'starving' kids a little treat when the vegetables were cooked for her own offspring. One of my favourites was definitely boiled turnip (swede) mashed and served on a thick slice of country bread and butter. It's not very luxurious, and probably not even very appetising for most people, but the way in which it was presented to us as an extra-special treat made all the difference in the world. I still love to take a piece of bread and butter and make a turnip-sandwich when it's on the menu here.

Another treat, usually on a Saturday, was to be allowed have the core of a cooking apple when she was making apple tarts. We could dip it in the sugar bowl as cooking apples aren't very sweet, then nibble away any flesh remaining. Us kids used to squabble like mad to have the core....not to mention the sugar

The thing about cooking apple cores reminded me of a similar childhood treat - although nowadays I'd turn my nose up at it. We used to squabble over who would get the core of the raw cabbage when cabbage was on the dinner menu. How's that for odd?

My favourite food - for dinner: lamb chops, with new potatoes, green peas, mint sauce and gravy. I'm also partial to fried tomatoes and bacon (with the obligatory HP sauce, of course). Yum. And when I'm grumpy or blue, nothing beats hot buttered toast - and a nice cuppa Rosie Lee goes with everything.

We also got to eat the peel as well as the cores of cooking apples, dipped in sugar of course. Those were the days of real apple tarts!
I also recall bread and dripping with a liberal sprinkling of salt, delicious and not many people got fat or worried about heart disease or obesity. Everyone worked and played too hard for such things to be a serious problem, or maybe we just didn't know enough!

Oooer, bread and dripping! Delicious, we all wanted the bit off the bottom. Actually I still love to have the 'jelly' off the pork dripping spread on bread, and yes, with lots of salt.

Wow most of those sound unusual, I have a few. I tend to get cravings and then put togather what i want. I love sandwiches with avocado, vegemite, mayonnaise, tomato, betroot, aparagus, lettuce, cucumber, cheese, ham, also I love rice bubbles mixed with vanilla ice cream um vegemite and avocado on toast. deep fried oysters with tartare sauce and lemon. roast pork gravy and apple sauce sandwiches. Hot chips (fries) and mayonnaise sandwiches. Yeah i'm sure theres more but they are the ones that come to mind.

Ah, yes, bread and dripping. It was particularly delicious in the form of dripping on toast.

Chocolate(any kind I take no prisoners), burgers, and potato chips.
Is it any wonder I'm almost 300 lbs.?

In order:
chocolate
pizza
chocolate
chicken
and finally...more chocolate!

As for unusual, I rather enjoy pixie stix and butter on my cornbread!

Well, though I don't consider it at all odd, everyone else seems to. I call it S.O.S. Let's just say that it stands for 'Stuff On a Shingle' Basically, you just mix canned tuna with cream of mushroom soup. You put a slice of cheese on a slice of toast and top with a generous portion of the heated tuna and soup mix. Viola!
