What weird foods do your significant others (spouses, or whatever) like?
My wife likes two things I have trouble comprehending.
One is "whites". This is some form of pasta in milk (she has an Italian background). I think it's mainly pasta with milk and maybe butter, but I haven't looked too closely.
The other is ketchup on eggs. I posted once, years ago, asking for votes. Half thought it was god's gift to eggs, the other thought it was the grossest thing ever. There was no middle ground.
I dunno; milk and pasta is great, but sour cream and pasta is even better.
And next, the Bayer aspirin primitive:

1. My husband is English, so he likes bland, boiled things that are pretty indistinguishable from each other.
He also likes tea .... a lot.
His idea of pasta is the dried stuff with bottled sauce. And he makes grilled cheese sandwiches by toasting the bread and putting cheese on it. And he thinks potatoes should be served al dente.
I, the foody who loves to cook, am soooo wasted on him.
I'll bet the husband weighs less than the Bayer aspirin primitive, too.

2. We have very similar tastebuds, so there isn't much I see as weird, but he eats potato chips that I wouldn't touch.
You know, the weird ones that seem to be burned bad spots, etc?
Creeps me out. LOL
The commode-sitting sparkling husband primitive, and oh my, he reveals more than he intends to:

3. Sparkly enjoys the occasional ....... uh ..... "bean dish"
Not that beans are weird.
I'm just sayin' ............
The sparkling husband primitive's wife passes gas in bed.
Oh my.

4. Not on all eggs...just scrambled. With ketchup and hot sauce.
My other half will eat things that I won't but that most people don't find weird...sardines, anchovies, etc. Since I do all the cooking, he mostly eats whatever I cook without complaint and usually with compliments.
I think Grandma's husband should lay off the dead fish, and eat whatever Grandma fixes for him, which apparently he does. But he needs to lay off the dead fish.
