What strange or unusual food preferences do you have?

For example, in my teens, I often ate onion sandwiches, with freshly sliced, uncooked onions. Nothing else on the bread except ketchup. (But never before going on a date.) I still enjoy a ketchup and onion sandwich occasionally.

I like oatmeal without a sweetener. Maybe with raisins and cinnamon sometimes, but oatmeal seems naturally sweet enough to me without needing sugar. Same with Cheerios.

Pickles and mayo on melted cheese sandwiches. Mmm.
