Ooh! I just remembered another one. Chocolate-covered potato chips. Sounds disgusting, but once you try 'em you can’t eat just one. Really. A good, dark chocolate enveloping a salty potato chip. Mmmm.
Hi. Are you my husband? He loves pretzel Jello (so do I, truth be told), and requests a peanut butter and American cheese sandwich for lunch. Every day. Packing his lunch is a breeze, I’m tellin’ ya.
Okay, that’s new for me. But am I the only one who makes pancake towers? Start with a pancake, and top it with an over easy egg. Then pancake, then egg, then pancake. Then (this is very important), press down on the top pancake so the yolks break open and run down between the pancakes. Liberally apply syrup. Consume. Stagger off to lie down somewhere until your head clears. It’s the only way, kids.
Oh, and another vote for Chubby Hubby.
Nope, but the guy sounds like he has good taste!
Peanut Butter and Banana all mushed together and spread on plain white bread.
I’d have to call those complimentary flavors, not contrasting ones. I love those together, too. Try a toasted peanut butter and banana sandwich! But my wife, who hates bananas, can’t think of a combination more unappealing.
We used to have neighbors where the lady liked to eat peanut butter and Spanish onion sandwiches. Now there’s contrast! I’ve never been brave enough to try it.
Plain M&Ms and salt & vinegar potato chips. Not in the same mouthful, but alternating. Yum.
Try this combo: All dressed Ruffles potato chips, dipped in plain yogurt*. The two flavors combine to produce a unique flavor that is absolutely delicious. One big bag of chips and a standard-sized container of yogurt is a good ratio. When you’ve dipped all of the big chips, crush the remaining fragments into little tiny bits and dump them into the bowl of yogurt and stir them together. Eat with a spoon or fork. Yum.
*I don’t know whether this works with low-fat or fat-free yogurt. Use regular yogurt. Balkan style works well.
Jack Daniels & cinnamon hard candy
bacon & lemon meringue pie
sauerkraut & ketchup (of course)
clam chowder & Sam Adams
Chocolate and string cheese. Chocolate chips in particular; something about the bitter chocolate and the perfect amount of creaminess from the cheap Mozzerella.
I have a couple.
Sandwiches made out of Saltines and Sour Patch Kids
Bacon cooked INTO the pancake batter and topped with dark maple syrup
Bacon, dark maple syrup, real butter, sunny-side up eggs, and pancakes all mixed together.
Extra sharp chedder with strawberries, on garlic bagle chips and topped with either pineapple or dark maple syrup (or both)
Any flavor ice cream with salted/butter popcorn
From my days as a Dunkin Donuts employee:
Berry Berry bagle, with chive cream cheese and bacon finished off with a bottle of strawberry milk
From the Indian restaurant I went to a few weeks ago:
These little sweet bready balls soaked in what tasted like honey (but not quite). I wish I could remember what they were called.
Anyway, mix a bite of that with a bite of chicken vindaloo, wrap in naan and then smother the whole thing in that sweet honey tasting sauce. Finish with a steaming gulp of chai. Yum.
I will put pineapple or maple syrup on just about anything. i don’t think I’ve ever found something which wouldn’t go well with one, the other, or both.
