People Are Sharing The Really Weird Food Dishes Their Families Ate Growing Up, And I Am Not OK

I wish I didn't know what beef salad was.

I'm sure we've all eaten some strange food dishes before, but this new TikTok trend may leave you second-guessing what you consider "strange"...

TikTok user @taybeckerbeauty recently went viral for asking people to share what weird food they ate growing up that they thought was normal:

She shared that her dad mixed cold peas, mayonnaise, and sugar as a dinner side all the time.

Soon, many other people started jumping in to share the bizarre dishes they ate as kids. Like user @ruthielovescoffee, who said her parents would cook a pot roast and put the leftovers in a food processor. They would mix it with Miracle Whip and pickle relish and eat it on bread. They called it BEEF SALAD.

She went on to explain that her grandparents did the same thing, except with hot dogs and they called it "ham salad."

And then we have something called PRESIDENT'S SALAD — which consisted of cold spaghetti noodles, lettuce, leftover chicken, croutons, cheese, and French dressing — shared by user @lifewithgrant.

"My mom used to say, 'This is what presidents eat.'"

Even though most of the dishes were pretty weird, people tended to rave about how good they were. User @johannawestbrook shared her recipe for meat pie that is very different from traditional British meat pie:

It's basically a pie filled with ground beef, cottage cheese, egg, and shredded Parmesan.

User @she_writes_black explained how her grandma made ~damn if I know soup~: "One day my grandma had a pot on the stove and my cousin came in and he was like, 'What that is?' And my grandma was like, 'Damn if I know.' So that's why we call it 'DAMN IF I KNOW SOUP.' My grandma would literally take everything out of the refrigerator, clean the refrigerator, and just throw it in a big-ass pot and make some cornbread. AND THAT SHIT WAS BANGING!"

User @fredericaseverinsen loved something called "mock chicken" — a recipe made up of salted potato chips, chicken (or mushroom) soup, and tuna layered up and baked like lasagna...served with peas.

Scrapple is something that user @ronnierukus enjoyed eating. It is made from pig scraps, like pig lips, pig heart, and pig anus.

He explained that it's a grayish-brown loaf that you fry up and serve for breakfast.

And then there's user @thebryanmiller, who explained how his family invented something oddly delicious called SCHMOES:

"Take two Ritz crackers. Upon one Ritz cracker, place chocolate and marshmallows. Stick that in an oven or microwave. Atop the other Ritz cracker, smear a bit of peanut butter. Once the chocolate and marshmallow are warm to your liking, sandwich it all together in a wonderful, crispy, salty-sweet snack."
