I live in Houston, and was out to lunch with a few colleagues and we were discussing school lunches, and food in general. I told them when in Elem, MS, and HS I couldn't wait for Chili day with a big ole cinnamon roll. They all laughed and looked at me like I was crazy. Went into a pretty in depth convo, where one guy from Ohio said that he eats chili with spaghetti noodles. What are other weird combos you guys/gals have heard of?

Pizza with sauerkraut. Waffles with peanut butter & syrup. Nutella & banana sandwich. My favorite is grilled Romaine lettuce with blue cheese crumbles.
Yeah. I loved our school lunch program. It is funny to me to hear people from other places say how they brought there own, or just ate the goodies line. Our school lunch was awesome, and I would have much rather had it then bringing my own.
Our school lunch always had chili and a cinnamon roll. I don't remember a single time that we had chili and didn't have cinnamon rolls. Everyone loved chili day.
Runzas big thing is their Chili with Cinnamon Rolls.
One of the best pizzas I've had was topped with spaghetti and Bolognese sauce.

Chili over spaghetti is just Cincinnati Chili. It's really good. It has chocolate in it and is usually a really smooth consistency.
Two that don't really work for me: Doughnuts with big chunks of sugary cereal on them. The cereal is always stale, so now you have two empty-calorie junk foods and they don't even taste good anymore.
Also don't really get the Goober Burger that's a big hit in Missouri - the hamburger with peanut butter on it. Not terrible, but there are far better toppings for a burger. It also really, really, really needs a different name

Pizza with sauerkraut, Bratwurst, Bacon, Onion and Gruyere cheese. (Also known as Flammkucken) Yum!
Lighthouse Pizza makes a pizza with Bacon and Macaroni and Cheese with an Alfredo sauce. It is the bomb. I miss the Jiffy Burgers at P.O. Pears.
Dippin Wendy's French Fries in their frosty's... No idea how it is good, but it is!
Chili and cinnamon rolls very other Friday at my school in the middle of the cornfields. Homemade Runzas with fruit kolaches every third Thursday of month. Shout out to the cooks!

Don't know how common it is, but I love to dip my grilled cheese in ketchup.

Tanners...Hot Lip nachos...buffalo tenders in the nachos. Not THE oddest combo in the world, but it is freakin awesome though.
In my early 20s I was living in a studio apt. in NYC. My across the hall neighbor was a chef (line cook at the time) and used to bring home left over raw unseasoned product from where he was working. One night he gave me a really nice piece of Chilean sea bass.
Again in my early 20s...first job...I had like 3 things in my fridge...I marinated it in rum, spread bbq sauce all over it and gave it a coating of raspberries I crushed with my hands. I still make it today and people love it...and in the last 20 years of making it I've actually have had it sober (unlike the first time) and it is amazing.

That's just nasty right there BigHawk. I myself put ketchup on everything. Everything from chips to vegetables.
Dated a girl who would mix cottage cheese and french salad dressing in a bowl and have that for lunch like 4 times a week. Sorry, this was back in the pre-internet/cell-phone camera days so can't follow board rules with pics.
Peanut butter and mayo sandwich. Another odd combo is peanut butter and horseradish on a triscuit. Sounds weird but damn it is good.
Carrot, celery, jalapeno and pickled red onion on a burger. I recently tried this on a burger and it was fantastic. Here's is the post I made on a BBQ site.
"There is a Burger restaurant near us called Slaters 50/50 that serves a burger called the Buffalo Buffalo Burger. Here’s a description:
“The tangy stack features seasoned ground bison (aka the American buffalo) nestled on a bed of shredded celery and carrots. All that's topped buffalo sauce-infused sharp cheddar cheese, grilled onions and jalepeños, and then smothered with housemade buttermilk ranch and Frank's RedHot dressing”
I decided to try to recreate it here. First I bought some ground Bison meat at Costco.
I mixed in some onion and some blue-cheese into the meat.
To speed things along I placed a chimney of charcoal on my side burner.
Once the charcoal was ready I poured it into the charcoal baskets in my Weber OTS.
I placed my Camp Chef griddle over the coals and waited for it to get screaming hot. I then place 4 meat balls on.
They started sizzling in no time.
I smashed them and then flipped them.
While they were cooking I made up some Crystal Hot Sauce Mayo.
When they were done I assembled my burger. First was the Crystal Mayo on bot top and bottom haves of the bun. Then some thinly sliced carrot and celery.
Next the burger, 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and some thinly sliced jalapeno.
And finally some pickled red onion.
Here it is plated up with a slice of watermelon and a Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA.
The crunch of the carrot and celery going with the heat of the mayo and jalapeno with the savory buffalo meat and cheese and the sour of the pickled onion. Mmmm!
Best burger ever!
Thanks for looking."
