Weird Shit your Grandparents and Parents used to (or still do) eat or drink
 

The Thread Title says it all, lets hear it.

My grandpa on my Dads side is the only one who ate weird shit.

Mustard and Butter sandwiches
Mayonnaise and Black Pepper sandwiches
He'd drink Buttermilk straight (sometimes with pepper)

my Grandma loved liver and onions, but that's not that weird.

Lutefisk

:Lin:

Also my Grandpa said he ate monkey brains and turtle. I dont know if this was when he was in the war (Japan WWII) or when he was a kid (East St. Louis, Illinois), or if he was just bullshitting me, because I never saw him eat that.

Grandma FAX used to eat live chickens. It was always, "C'mon in the house now Grandma and stop eating those chickens."

I saw that on Man vs. Food the other day.

Tell me who in their right ****ing mind would say, let me soak this fish in Lye, and then soak it in Water and see if it tastes good?

My grandpa used to drink Falstaff beer, after he sprinkled salt in it.

He liked liver and onions, too. It may not be weird, but it is disgusting. I hate onions.

My grandma liked peanut butter and sweet onion sandwiches. It's weird but actually not too bad.

My grandma always used to make stewed tomatoes with pieces of white bread in it and lots of pepper on top. I've never seen that since.

my grandma who is from Austria would do all kinds of crazy shit. Bread rolled in sugar and dumped into milk. Soup with duck but for some reason there was blood in the soup. Duck blood soup

It wasn't my grandmother ... somebody else's. But her practice was to sip her coffee - not from the cup - but from the saucer. I always thought that was an odd, but somehow endearing, practice.

Sounds Klingon. :D

Grandpa used to drink some concoction of Vinegar and Apple juice. It was supposed to help with something or other. Quite a shocker when I went get a drink of what I thought was just Apple juice, and took a big swig of that.....

Breaded tomatoes, or whatever other folks call them, are wonderful.
