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.

I’ve never heard of that, maybe it was something they learned to do during the Depression, they came up with some really strange recipes. .........................................
For birthday cakes my aunt would usually make an angel-food cake, a boiled frosting and buy those hard sugar decorations to top it that said “Happy Birthday”, thinking about it now that was kind of a strange combination. The sugar decorations didn’t taste good & were hard & crunchy, the boiled frosting was soft and angel food cake was chewy. I like angel food cake, it’s good with strawberries but that combo is weird.
