SC - Boiled peanuts, was, food bashing

Lady Tyrca Ivarsdottir shared with us one of her indulgences:

Hmmm... now, I would normally not want to put a mayonaiss-y dressing with
eggs, but you show such passion for this combo that I may have to try it.

And the guava paste and banana paste sound intriguing.  I've never heard of
either.  I'll have to see if I can find any here in Atlanta.

And I wonder, if it wouldn't be possible to *make* banana paste?  I would
expect from it's name that it should be relatively simple.  Does anyone
know more about this substance?  (I'll do a web search and some research
later.)

Actually, the first type of omelet that I ever learned to make was a sweet
fluffy omelet with strawberry jam.  It sounded odd to me at the time, but
it was absolutely *delectable*.  I still enjoy them every once in a while
and haven't had one in a very long time.  May need to make one soon.

I don't think that I would enjoy jam with cheese (I don't like chedder
cheese on apple pie either) and I can't even imagine it on a tuna sandwhich
(although I *do* love my tuna sweet... and can get pretty wierd about tuna,
since I like it sweet *and* salty.)
