I’m asking because my SO just had me try a watermelon-feta salad… Initially I was horrified, and thought it was a prank, but now I’m curious. Would you describe it as a good or bad weird?

    When I was a kid, maybe 11 or 12? I was at the birthday party of some kid. Mind you, this was the 1970s. The parents dumped us all in the “playroom” (a big basement room, finished and with furniture) with some toys and games and a table full of food and they had their own little party upstairs. Meanwhile, we had a table full of candy and chips and cupcakes and bread and sandwich stuff and whatever to drink.

    For whatever kid reason, we started making the Weirdest Sandwiches We Could Think Of. Mine, I will never forget. One slice of bread slathered with peanut butter, upon which went M&Ms, chocolate Twizzlers, potato chips, and Fritos, folded in half like a taco.

    How did it taste? Well, I made a second one. But I was 11 or 12 and had the food palate of a caveman.

      When I was that age I fancied putting M&Ms on my pizza and sandwiches. I resonate with “food palate of a caveman”.

        If given half a chance, I’d probably still put potato chips on anything I could.

        Heck, to use the non-American definition of the word “chips,” I spent most of my life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city known for many things but gastronomically for putting french fries (the other kind of “chips”) on sandwiches and salads!
