Eating Odd Things!

Today at lunch time, I opened the fridge and summed up the various leftovers and lunch meats. None of which, met my palates approval. Hmm, marinated artichoke hearts sat in a jar in the side of the fridge. Sounds good. I fixed a glass of my blood juice, Mountain Dew, turned on the news, my lunch ritual, and proceeded to eat my lunch straight from the jar. Now I ask you. Am I unique? Does the fact that a jar of marinated artichoke hearts suffice as a compatible substitute for that ham sandwich or Big Mac? Does it make it even odder that I followed the salty sour goodness with 3 chocolates from my 10 year olds Valentines Day present to me? Just after lunch, my friend called, and I confessed my little lunch bag. She laughed and said she often did the same thing. I said, "really? You eat artichoke and chocolate for lunch?" She laughed, "oh yuck, no, but I won't tell you some of my weird combinations, I specifically keep on hand!!!" Which got me to thinking, growing up, my mom would always gross me out, as a snack, she loved saltines with butter and a little sugar sprinkled on top. I think we all have closet food combos that just nurture our own quirky personalities...What about you? Brave enough to list out loud?
