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.

    I put some pickled cowboy popcorn salt on some rice with seasoning salt. Tasted ridiculously good.

    So, less of a food and more of an interesting drink… but pickle backs! I have only met two kinds of people, ones that have never tried them, and ones that love them!

    You get a shot of cheap well whisky, and a chaser of pickle brine. Different bars that have em will have different pickels, so there’s a big of variety. IMO, its best with brine that is a little sweet, and medium on the spice.

    I’m also a fan of herbal drinks, so sometimes I’ll throw in a bottle of underburg as a chaser to the chaser.

      A woman I one introduced me to these years ago. They’re good! We used tequila, though.

      I like any tangy fruit! Chunky pineapple works well, too. The salty and sweet and tangy combo is amazing.

    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.

    My favorite food combo of all time:

    Original Rold Gold pretzels with ripe purple grapes and extra sharp cheddar cheese all go into the mouth at once. Then as your chewing take a sip of Dr. Pepper. Life changing.

    Dude, a small spoon of cottage cheese on a Lay’s original potato chip. It’s so amazing.

    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.

    Fresh cheddar (bonus if in curd form) , warmed in microwave with maple syrup. Sweet, salty, fatty.

    Waffles with cream cheese and blueberry jam. I personally don’t think it’s that weird but I’ve gotten looks from roommates.

    Goldfish and dump in a “sharing size” bag of peanut m&ms. It’s that perfect mix of salt and sweet … I call it my fat kid trailmix
