Peanut butter. That's not too strange on its own - and therein lies the problem. See, I'll mix peanut butter with any number of strange things in a sandwich (although only one thing with the peanut butter at once, of course). Cheese (Cheddar or Tasty Lancs preferred). Honey. Bovril. Crisps (chips, for Americans; salt and vinegar or chicken are best). The strangest though must be mixing peanut butter and home-made crabapple jelly, although I've not been able to do that for many years since my mum stopped making jam. A good non-peanut butter combination is mature cheese and honey - Grandma Singleton's Tasty Lancs spread on toast and mixed with honey is great.

For something that's pleasing to the tongue but not the eye, try chips (fries), baked beans and grated Cheddar cheese. Mix them all together thoroughly until the sauce has soaked into the chips and the cheese has melted. It looks like a car crash in a maggot factory, but it tastes great.

On the gross-out theme, I would nominate bogies, but I'm not sure they qualify as food since they're low in nutritional value... ;-) And scabs - after all, what else do you do with them once you've pulled them off?
