This is probably the weirdest one, but here's mine:
 Chik-fil-A french fries dipped into a chocolate chip blizzard from Dairy Queen.

Why is everybody backing away from me slowly?

There's nothing weird about fries in shakes, malts, or blizzards. The hot, salty and crispy just pairs so well with the cold, sweet and creamy.

I like other combinations of sweet and salty too. When I was a child, if Mom didn't have any homemade cookies or brownies to send in our packed lunches, she'd improvise a dessert by mixing raisins, peanuts, mini-marshmallows and chocolate chips in a baggie.

My poor son, Iowa boy that he is, craves Chick-Fil-A.

The closest one is a hundred miles away.

I like Spam...I never admit it, but I love fried Spam...
I don't do gizzards, but Country's Barbeque in Columbus Ga makes the best chicken livers on earth. Slather them in medium bbq sauce and stand back. I love beef liver and onions too...
I love fries with ranch dressing and ketchup mixed together. Or with mayo and ketchup mixed. And Heinz 57 sauce on Waffle House hashbrowns (scattered, smothered, covered and capped). Heinz 57 on tater tots or baked potatoes too....
I have finally found the bar I can't get thrown out of....

We all have something we love to eat that grosses out the people around us. Mine is cold meatloaf sandwiches...my husband cringes, but I love to get a nice slice of cold meatloaf, come bread, mayo, mustard and ketchup....mmmm. I also love cold fried chicken and plain buttered spaghetti. All of which DH rolls his eyes at.
So what are yours??
Fried spaghetti sandwiches.  You fry left over spaghetti and put it on bread with mayo and parmesan cheese.   
I used to eat peanut butter and onion sandwiches but can no longer eat peanut butter.  (To make matters worse for people, they are open faced so they have to look at the ingredients!)  Butter a slice of bread, spread it with peanut butter, top it with very thin slices of purple onion and a little sprinkle of salt. 
I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished.  Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

Mayonnaise on barbeque rib sandwiches...  And mayonnaise on french fries/potato chips...

Love that mayo!
I always dip my french fries into plain old yellow mustard.  Boy, my mouth is watering.

Hmmmm...mine:

V-8. Just plain old V-8 juice. NO ONE I know likes the stuff or will touch it. They also look at me strangely when I go out to eat with them and order a Bloody Mary. What? Quit looking at me like that.

Beets. Whole pickled beets, dipped in mayo or ranch dressing. I loooooooooove beets. No, really. Quit looking at me like that.

Rice or pasta with ranch dressing, especially plain pasta, rinsed in cold water and drained, with ranch dressing. It's my "poor college student" version of pasta salad.

My brother, the king of the gross-out food combo, did me one better with this one: Cuban-style rice and black beans. With ranch dressing.

Rice with butter and parmesan cheese.

Rice with Velveeta and frozen broccoli. Yes, I know this is "broccoli-cheese rice" but some people look at me like I am the spawn of Satan when I say "Velveeta."

Fried, breaded Spam "steaks."

Spam musubi (popular in Hawaii - a slice of Spam and a block of rice with seaweed wrapped around the middle)

Spam in general. Mmmmm, Spam.

Salsa and sour cream mixed together as dressing for taco salad, nachos or just as a dip for tortilla chips.

Wow - now that I look at it I like a lot of really weird foods.
I love v8 juice, especially the one that is hot and spicy.  I like it plain or with a little lime juice and plain unsweetened sparkling water (like Perrier or something like that.  I use it with the lime flavor perrier, too, if I can get it).  I like rice fried in butter with parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.  My ex husband used to make fun of my family because the only way we ate rice was with butter and salt and pepper.  His family cooked rice with milk and sugar and even ate that at suppertime.  I love rice pudding but not like that.

Joe's Gizzard City?  Wish I'd known where it was, when I lived in Michigan!  LOL

I love rice with butter and salt. I also like it with butter and cinnamon sugar (no milk), but I really love it with butter and salt. I also love macaroni with butter and Parmesan cheese, or, if there's no Parmesan, just salt.

When I was a struggling single mom/underpaid radio person, I used to eat macaroni and canned baked means mixed together, salted, or if I had some, topped with Parmesan. I figured I was getting a complete protein with the pasta and beans, and it was cheap. It's also really good, but most people think it's a weird and gross combination.

I like beef bologna sandwiches with mustard, but only if we have potato chips to put on them. I've been eating them this way since I was in elementary school, and after a while the other kids started doing it too. They probably quit after awhile, but I'm now in my young 50s and ask that you please don't give me a bologna sandwich without potato chips.

I think for people of a certain generation (I'm 40 and include myself), bologna sandwiches and potato chips are a comforting throwback to our childhoods. I love to make sandwiches for my kids, cut them in half and put potato chips on the plate between the halves of sandwiches. Why? That's how my mom served them. :)

That's exactly how I serve mine, too. Then I add the chips to each half when I'm ready to eat it (so they'll still be crispy). It is comfort food, and I don't have it too often.

When I was in high-school, a faborite lunch was "fried" bologna sandwiches.  We'd put it in a pan, like hot-dogs and brown it, then add cheese.  Gee!  That actually sounds good right now!  LOL

Now I never liked fried bologna but I have seen somebody fry it, then put an egg in it when it forms a little cup.
