What food were you fed as a child that you didn’t know was weird until you were an adult?

I had a grandmother who would hard boil eggs, mash them and then make breaded egg patties out of them for breakfast, or sandwiches. Wasn’t terrible. Just different. I’ve not ever known anyone else who did this.

Brown sugar cooked in with sauerkraut. It's the only way I would eat sauerkraut, and I never realized it was weird til I grew up. It tastes kinda like sweet and sour.

@DearAmbellina2113 That sounds rather interesting actually! I might have try that one day.

@ImplodingVoices my mom would make a pork roast in the crockpot and add sauerkraut with brown sugar. It was soo good. 😊

@DearAmbellina2113 That's really not that much different than sweet and sour red cabbage or kapusta.

@DearAmbellina2113 that sounds good!! I don’t eat much pork but I may have to try this. I love sauerkraut!

@DearAmbellina2113 Sounds good. I add a brew of brow sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce and water when cooking down cabbage for a sausage-cabbage casserole.
