I heard the pickles and ice cream wives tale through my pregnancy and never hit on it. But since my daughter came along, I've found out what the real wacky food combinations look like.
They're perpetually on my daughter's plate.
Ever notice your child would eat ketchup, not as a condiment but as a full meal if you let them? Ever get requests for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some mayo on top? Or have them beg for you to put salt and pepper on their applesauce?
CafeMom did a run-down on the weirdest thing their kids have eaten, but those were truly scary (part of a plastic spoon? strawberry scented shampoo?). I'm not talking about "Aaaack, call poison control" accidental ingestions here. It's the foods that are perfectly acceptable for ingestion but mixed up in strange combinations that get me.
I'm sure some of my favorite foods would be considered off the wall to most folks, but I'm happy to report that I grew out of my strangest kid food cravings. Anyone up for a bowl of spaghetti, pretzels tomatoes and Crunch bars slathered in ranch dressing? Didn't think so.
So what's the strangest food combo your kids have cooked up? Will you let them eat it?
