Weird foods that aren't so weird to YOU

Are there any foods that you grew up eating - maybe something from your family's nationality - that others think are just plain weird?

Last week I was eating an asparagus and potato fritatta at work and at least 5 people asked 'what IS that??' in a way that made me feel like I was eating human remains.

This is really funny! I love all the foods mentioned, love cucumber sandwhiches.... polish food.. I'm 1/2 Ukrainan and FH is 1/2 Polish (Ukrainan is very similar to Polish)
Growing up, I use to eat bolonga and ketchup- loved them. I don't eat them anymore.
My Mom makes a mean Shepard's pie, but w/ corn and ketchup in the meat- yummmmmiiiiieee.
I eat yogurt/ wheat germ and honey at work and I always get comments 'what is that???'- It's delicious!

If falafel's weird then I have a ton more I guess. I eat middle eastern, indian, afghan, thai, cambodian....all sorts of foods.

Oops! I forgot bubulas, which is matzoh meal, milk and egg fried on both sides and eaten with sugar, or matzoh meal pancakes, which is matzoh meal , and eggs whites , and the egg whtoes are whipped to form a 'snow' and then put all together and fried, YUMMY and fattening!

I like to eat peanut butter by the spoon, without anything.

I like olive paste on crackers, with some cheese

Herring with onions

Strawberries with sour cream (although I don't think its all that weird)

Eggs with ketchup (FH thinks its weird)

And all russian foods
