What foods do you like together that most people might not? Or what foods do you like together that people usually wouldn’t think of having together?
I’ll start - steak and pound cake. I kind of stumbled onto this combo by accident by showing up late to dinner when dessert was being served. So I put a steak and a slice of pound cake on a plate and just ate thrm together. Surprisingly good.
Rice with mayo. It was pretty much all I ate when I was 16.
I lived in Micronesia when I was young, and I have memories of people, including myself, eating that. Now I can’t imagine wanting that combo, but I believe it was not uncommon there.
Here in Brazil it’s very unusual. Rice is usually combined with beans.
When I was younger: Vanilla ice cream & maple syrup. Talk about a sugar high!
I do this often still at an adult!
Nilla Wafers and sharp cheddar cheese. Sometimes I add grapes or berries to the mix if I’m feeling saucy.
Mandarin oranges/clementines in cottage cheese
I like any tangy fruit! Chunky pineapple works well, too. The salty and sweet and tangy combo is amazing.
Banana and pesto. Thank me later
Waffles with cream cheese and blueberry jam. I personally don’t think it’s that weird but I’ve gotten looks from roommates.
that sounds like deconstructed cheesecake. I gotta try this.
A peanut butter and mayo sandwich.
Peanut butter and cheese.
Peanut butter and pickles.
Peanut butter and raw onion slices.
Peanut butter and tuna fish.
I’ve tried peanut butter combined with the strangest pairings I can imagine. They’ve all been excellent.
I recommend pb on garlic toast
Ooh, sounds amazing!
Have you had a grilled cheese + PB? Surprisingly good!
Never tried it… but I should!!
Jello and Ice cream.
Little cubes of jello (I had red) with a vanilla or neutral-ish ice cream.
I was skeptical, as two tasty things don’t always mesh, but this was too intriguing to pass up, I’m glad I did not.
I think my Aussie friend eats this? She refers to jello as jelly, but same thing. I don’t know if it’s just her or if it’s an Australian thing.
Yellow mustard plus grape jelly is some culinary sorcery
@blazera @TheGiantKorean my brain is going 😬 but my mouth is going 🤔. I’ll have to try this!
Peanut butter in garlic bread
I know PBJ is already a thing, but toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches are actual power food.
Drizzle a bit of honey in the sandwich. Also can sub in apple slices instead of banana if you want a bit of crunch.
Hmm, you appear to be suggesting that there isn’t already crunch, thereby revealing yourself as a preferrer of smooth peanut butter and undercooked toast. Not impressed…
No, I just occasionally enjoy the contrast between the toasted bread, warm peanut butter and cool, crisp apple.
I can totally get behind this! I had an Elvis burger once (PB, bacon, caramelized banana, burger patty) and it was amazing, but I was also drunk at the time.
Pineapple and anchovy pizza.
Salty and sweet! Nice.
Soy sauce and sour cream. As in, a cold dollop of sour cream on reheated leftover Asian takeout. For breakfast.
I’m sure people like french fries and a hot fudge sundae together. But I actually like sticking the fries in the ice cream itself and eating it that way.
Oh yeah! Ice cream burger shop near me sells a Sicilian orange sherbet. So good with fries!
Reminds me of dipping french fries in a wendy’s frosty. I love it.
