Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

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

Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay I’m gonna have to try that. Grilled cheese with mustard and apple works pretty well. Dijon mustard if you can swing it

My wife puts sliced apple in salad all the time. My aunt makes panini sandwiches with apple or pear slices on them. Apples are the best.

Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don't have to share!

Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!

[–] Iron_Lynx 4 points 1 year ago

Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It's basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Also coffee. It doesn't make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn't help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

A shower and an orange. You can just devour that orange like a caveman without worrying about the mess. Shower beer is good too, just because it is nice to have a cold beverage under a hot shower.

Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

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

Not too surprising, considering hot peppers and peanut butter are a SEAsian stable and veggie, bread and meat are fairly neutral ingredients

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

[–] Smokeless7048 6 points 1 year ago

Ya, anything with sour and sweet notes is gonna help the pulled pork!

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

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb

Strawberries and black pepper.

Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.

I'm gonna go with game genres, specifically roguelikes and rhythm-based games. They sound terrible together and yet, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and also Cadence of Hyrule) is the shit.

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

Turn based + time pressure is just such an insane combination. Makes the simplest games insanely harder, escalates the potential for blunders and at the same time enables flow. Bullet chess is similar in that regard.

I always hated the idea to put beans and bananas together. It is a fairly common habit in my country, tho, but it's a no-no for me in general.

But once I tried a Nigerian dish that had beans, bananas, shrimps and pepper and I absolutely fucking loved it. Seriously, the flavor was from another world.

Pineapple pizza with jalapeΓ±o.
Tried it just for lolz, but it was really good. Sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeΓ±o contrast very well, and it was surprisingly tasty.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.

I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.

Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

Peanut Butter M&Ms and Bourbon. I’m a heathen. πŸ₯ƒ πŸ”΄πŸŸ‘

Coffee and fruit juice. β˜•πŸ₯­

It's a common add-in with some Tiki drinks with juices including pineapple, orange, passion fruit, and lime. When my SO makes something, he'll commonly toss the excess volumes into a glass sans alcohol for me to enjoy.

Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

Peanut butter on bread with cheese duritos. Sounds weird, but taste amazing. Has to be the American duritos, other countries don't taste the same for some reason
