i couldn't really say. i will say, i have been to fancy restaurants, and had it there, and have enjoyed it more then at not so fancy restaurants, so i can totally see it.

just seems weird to put on ice cream, but i'm pretty open to try any food combinations.

there's a korean dessert like this, but i don't recall ever having it with creamed corn.

Maybe Fsoyars can speak to this, but I get the impression that all the things that make Norm hilarious to watch on TV probably make him really difficult to work with.

Other things to put on ice cream.

1- SALT
2- (pongo turned me onto this) Honey.

didn't know that "prerogative" started with p-r until a few years ago

i have had sea salt on ice cream. it was a bit too intensely salty, but mostly cause the top layer was salt.

i have an irrational fear of honey, and therefore, will never try that.

LOL read the thread title and at least 5 things popped into my head. I was very pleased to read the OP though because I knew oddjob was Korean, as am I, and I actually bet $20 last summer in Vegas that at least 50% of people in our house ate soup for breakfast at least once a week.

I lost.

Yep, standard.

What's weird is that as a kid I ate cereal, both cold and hot for breakfast nearly every day.

But if you told me you had soup for breakfast I'd look for your tail and Wolf mom.

I thought the word casual meant formal and formal meant casual for most of my childhood

I used to go on ski trips for school and people would go on the "terrain" park. I used to always think they were saying "train" park until one day someone asked if I was saying "train." Embarrassment ensued.

Never heard of anybody thawing stuff in the fridge. Why would you ? Takes longer...

i didn't know that until i read your post, so i guess that can be mine too =\

In early middle school I first heard of the word queef (had to look up spelling). For some reason my definition got lost in translation because for at least half a year I thought it meant girls farting out of their tits. I used the term totally in the wrong context later in the year. People got a good laugh out of that one.

To avoid bacteria collecting on the warm edges of the meat. Standard practice is before you cook dinner, place meat for tomorrow nights dinner in fridge. Will be perfectly thawed and fresh for tomorrow.

my mom laid out my clothes all through elementary.

never did laundry til i was in college.

My parents are Buddhist. Well kind of, they don't really do anything for it and always raised me to be independent and no religious beliefs were ever forced on me. Needless to say, I never really went to church except for Korean school where I would just close my eyes and think wtf is going on?

One day was playing hockey outside with neighborhood kids and a couple of them had to leave to go to "mass." I asked what this "mass" was and they all looked at me like I was the devil.

lol...elaborate why you brought up girls farting out of their tits only to be embarrassed in the first place.

I like to eat canned corn and cream of mushroom soup (as well as other creamed and chunky soups) straight out of the can.
When BBQ sauce isn't available, I do the chicken with ketchup thing as well.

I have a ton of these, including some that I'm sure may lose me any shreds of respect that I may have created for myself on these forums. I want to put some effort into them and have to leave in a few mins, so I'll just post a couple quick ones for now.

When I was a little kid like 3-5, my parents would have my picture taken at the mall (you know, where you can choose between the silly fall colors backdrops and you kneel on that mini-footstool thing). So to get the kids to smile, instead of doing the "look at the birdie" thing, it was standard that the photographer would play a game with the kids where they'd ask you not to blow at the light that was lighting the area. Then you would do it, and they would hit the switch and turn it off and pretend to get mad or frustrated, as if you blowing at it turned it off like it was a candle. They'd do this a few times to get the kid laughing and then "ok seriously, now we have to take the picture" and then the kid was all giddy and happy and then the pics would be taken.

I actually thought that this light was somehow sensitive to air pressure and blowing at it actually turned it off.

Yeah.

Cut to years later, I'm 17 and I'm at some photo place getting my Yearbook picture taken. Everything is all set up and we're ready to take the pic, and for the sake of getting a taste of nostalgia, I start blowing at the light like a jack ass. The mid 20's emo chick who is running the photo session asks me what the hell I'm doing. I tell her.

When I was six I went to a friends house and his mom made us Eggo waffles with butter on the bottom, followed by a thick layer of peanut butter, then topped with syrup. To this day I will only eat Eggo's like that and have converted many people. But I thought this was standard waffle practice until I was about 14 years old.

Edit: not butter on the bottom of the waffle, just as the bottom layer.

this is what i do. when i thaw a steak (normally i don't freeze steaks, but sometimes there's a good deal on decent cuts) i thaw in fridge, then take out 30 mins prior to cooking.

We used to have bottle-rocket wars (and other fireworks that were useful) when I was a kid. I used the term "******-chasers" when my older brother smacked me upside the head. Our black friend Sean was right there and I was like "What? I thought that's what they're called!" lol. I still don't know what those things are called...

Wiping standing up. Thought this was normal then found out weirdos somehow do this while sitting.

My mom was raised by her grandma who was German-American. Pretty much everyone else on both sides is Irish. Because of this, my mom got all her recipes and used to cook all kinds of German food when I was a kid. I didn't know it was German food. I thought everyone ate Braunsweiger (sp?) meat and bratwurst with saurkraut, etc. I thought it was pretty standard until I was 23 and this Swiss guy I worked with heard me mention how I like brats/saurkraut and he was astonished, claiming he never heard an American say that. Obviously he was over-reacting as plenty of Americans have eaten this stuff but I realized it wasn't as common as I thought.

It smelled a little funky at lunch or something and one of my friends turned to a girl and was like "did you queef? Close your legs, it smells like fish!" Everyone burst into laughter, except me. I asked something to the effect of "Why would you close your legs? She would queef from her tits?" A louder burst of laughter then followed.

Yeah, I'm an idiot.

This phrase and "I'd just assume" were two that I said wrong for years until a couple years ago.
