Well...it's very similar to the blintz concept actually....you have a kind
of thin pancake filled with ricotta or other cheese and then you can opt for
a fruit topping (usually one of those syrupy kinds!).  So I don't see that
as something weird but rather one that I'd enjoy.  And I do fall in with the
crowd that uses salt on things like melon and grapefruit!

Now if you want weird...my husband's favorite sandwich is peanut
butter/butter/catsup....AAaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhh!  I can see peanut butter
and bacon...kind of reminds me of a wonderful Virginia delicacy, peanut
soup!
