Writer's Block: Acquired taste

I don't even know it this counts as "weird", but here's two of my favorites:

1)  Tuna Sammich -- water-pack chunk-light tuna, drained and squeezed, with Miracle Whip on toasted wheat bread.  No fancy "sandwich goop" or chopped pickles or tartar sauce or celery, JUST the three things mentioned.  I'll never understand why people have to glop things on. 

2)  this constitutes a full meal and then some:  Two or three SteakUmms, fried or griddled, on wheat bread -- no sauces or dressings or cheese or anything else, TYVM -- a bowl of air-popped popcorn with or without salt, a couple of cubes of Medium Cheddar and some Kosher Dill Pickle spears.

The odd bits for both these are that they have to be just. that. .way.  Med cheddar, not mild or sharp or colby; MW, not mayo; chunk light, not the fancypants Albacore....the details :D

I'm the same way on number 1 minus the Miracle Whip and subbing butter instead. I dislike chopped things added into my "salad" sandwiches so that pretty much rules out egg, chicken and tuna salad sandwiches at most restaurants. :P

Because tuna is disgusting! I can only stand to do that if it's White Albacore. (Or ahi, but I'd never use ahi for such a plain meal, as it's quite expensive in Washington.)

How about this one: hot dog and peanut butter on a tortilla. Hot preferred (the pb runs out the bottom and goops all over your plate), but cold is perfectly acceptible, especially if it has nuts.

Not so much a weird combo, but a weird avoiding of combos here. I LOVE chocolate, and I love mint. I dislike chocolate-mint candy. I love peanut butter, but dislike peanut butter cookies.

As for tuna, Miracle Whip is the only way to go, but I do like the pickle chunks and some onion (very litte, but enough for some flavor) in mine. As for plain tuna or albacore...either will do especially since they got rid of the dolphin flavored ones.
