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.

Visiting Iceland I was just introduced to licorice and chocolate (mostly in the form of chocolate covered licorice candy bars). In some parts of the world, like the US, I think this is an unfamiliar combination, but it's pretty good.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Man, I just couldn't bring myself to try it. I will eat just about anything, but black licorice is not my favorite. I did have hakarl and chased it with some Black Death, though!

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.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah! Ice cream burger shop near me sells a Sicilian orange sherbet. So good with fries!

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of dipping french fries in a wendy's frosty. I love it.

[-] Fennario@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

Peanut butter in garlic bread

[-] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I know PBJ is already a thing, but toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches are actual power food.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Am bodybuilder. Canned tuna + cottage cheese w/ salt + pepper

Match made in heaven and hell

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Former PLer/OLer here. I used to eat some strange combos to get my protein/macros. I feel you!

[-] BrudderAaron@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sometimes I like to dip the end of a french fry in just a bit of pickle juice, then into some good powdered parmesan cheese.

[-] DelvianSeek@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Pineapple and anchovy pizza.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Salty and sweet! Nice.

[-] Barthosw@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Chicken nuggets dipped in apple sauce. This discovery dates back to when I was a kid, and it was Dad's turn to cook dinner.

[-] blazera@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yellow mustard plus grape jelly is some culinary sorcery

Mandarin oranges/clementines in cottage cheese

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Banana and pesto. Thank me later

[-] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Rice with mayo. It was pretty much all I ate when I was 16.

[-] BakingCookies@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Here in Brazil it's very unusual. Rice is usually combined with beans.

[-] CaspianXI@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Smoogy@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I recommend pb on garlic toast

Have you had a grilled cheese + PB? Surprisingly good!

[-] CaspianXI@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Never tried it... but I should!!

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

Just a heads up, let's try to phrase post titles in the form of a question, please. The rule is pretty lax for the moment, but will be enforced further down the line with the use of an automoderator bot.

Nilla Wafers and sharp cheddar cheese. Sometimes I add grapes or berries to the mix if I’m feeling saucy.

[-] barryowens@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

When I was young, I put ketchup and apple sauce on my broccoli because I hated the taste of it. I don't put it on the broccoli anymore but I still mix ketchup and apple sauce together.

[-] ClarissaXDarjeeling@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Peanut butter, jelly, salami, and giardiniera.

[-] Alenalda@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

When I see suggestions like this o don't know of it would ever work for me. I could eat peanut butter out of the jar by the fistful. I tend to go way overboard with it when I use it.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The only reason I tried it was because it was free. My friend's sister was the manager at a Potbelly and said she'd make me a new sandwich if I didn't love it.

I love all the ingredients separately but it sounds absolutely disgusting together....but it was not. DELICIOUS!

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Popcorn and siracha, eaten with chopsticks to keep your fingers clean.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Soy sauce and sour cream. As in, a cold dollop of sour cream on reheated leftover Asian takeout. For breakfast.

[-] Deelala0516@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Peanut butter pickle sandwich. Toasted bread, spicy pickles, and crunchy peanut butter.

[-] nichos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

When I was younger: Vanilla ice cream & maple syrup. Talk about a sugar high!

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.

[-] Bahalex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Scrawny@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

A peanut butter and mayo sandwich.

[-] Abrslam@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Potato chips and a big glass of milk.

[-] Scooter411@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ginger snaps in hummus.

[-] lorax@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.
