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.

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.

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 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 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Fennario 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

that sounds like deconstructed cheesecake. I gotta try this.

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

Match made in heaven and hell

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

[–] ClockworkOtter 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] TheGiantKorean 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] Barthosw 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.

[–] DelvianSeek 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pineapple and anchovy pizza.

[–] TheGiantKorean 2 points 1 year ago

Salty and sweet! Nice.

[–] CaspianXI 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recommend pb on garlic toast

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

[–] CaspianXI 2 points 1 year ago

Never tried it... but I should!!

[–] Laticauda 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Banana and pesto. Thank me later

Mandarin oranges/clementines in cottage cheese

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yellow mustard plus grape jelly is some culinary sorcery

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

[–] BakingCookies 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ClarissaXDarjeeling 5 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

[–] Gang 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yesterday i added an entire little can of chipotles and their adobo to my bolognese sauce for pasta. turned out very good.

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.

[–] glimse 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Peanut butter, jelly, salami, and giardiniera.

[–] Alenalda 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 4 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!

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] MissO 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nichos 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

A peanut butter and mayo sandwich.

[–] Bahalex 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 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.

[–] Deelala0516 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cuken 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ginger snaps in hummus.

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.

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