None of the things you listed are gross. I mean... there's wax candy for crying out loud (I used to love the little wax bottles filled with crappy koolaid, but what a weird kind of candy if you think about it too much).
I tend to experiment with my food when I'm bored. People used to think these things were gross but most of it is pretty popular now. Much like when Elvis made fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches popular. It's pretty ingrained popular in a lot of places now, but there was a time that it was unheard of in most places.
Like: I like putting a slice of american cheese in my Ramen noodles.
I like MREs. When I was in the Army I had to eat them a lot (I was deployed most of the time). Some people think they're gross, but these days more civilian do buy boxes of them than used to. Other than the occasional spoiled bread (that's the worst part about MREs- is when the bread or the cake spoils. You won't know, usually, until you try to eat it) I loved the stuff.
I like crushing Oreos and pouring milk on it and eating it like a bowl of cereal.
I like toast with butter and koolaid on it.
I like this dish my Mom "taught" me to make (quotations are because it's super easy- so much so that teaching it is an overstatement) where you mix cottage cheese, jello mix and whip cream in a bowl. I forget what she called it, I think she just called it "stuff" (like the horror movie) but you can add more things to it. Some people like to add fruit to it or marshmallows. So good. Now I want to buy the ingredients for that.
I like easy cheese. I know it's awful cheese (I've had great cheese before- stuff that Dan might call "fancy"), but I still love it. Europeans are mostly the ones that tell me it's gross.
I don't know. I can't think of anything else right now. Last thing is: I like to add seasoned salt to almost everything I eat. The reason being is I like the taste of salt, so way back in the 80s I would put tons of salt on everything I ate. In the 90s (I think it was) I switched to seasoned salt so it wasn't as likely to give me an early heart attack. I can't stand bland food, though. In most restaurants I have to use salt because general restaurants don't have that much flavor in their food. At least not until recently when Gordon Ramsey started making restaurants think about how their food tastes. It's actually gotten a little better in the last 5 years. Shitty restaurants still exist, though.
