Seemed like every time they’d surprise us with the ‘treat’ of chocolate milk for lunch at my elementary school, I’d have brought tuna from home that day. > > Ergh. Chocolate milk(or any milk,for that matter) doesn’t mix well with any food that isn’t cake,biscuits or chocolate,anyway. ---

I absolutely cannot STAND the taste of nutmeg in savory foods. ---

While in Germany, I tried wheat beer with banana juice. Sounded bad, but it was delicious. I couldn’t remember if you could even find bananan juice in the US. I did not try the beer and Coke or beer and Sprite. ---

Many wheat beers have subtle banana flavors already… I have never even seen banana juice though. It sounds interesting. ---

(cold) merguez & nutella. It’s actually not that bad, all things considered. It \*is \*bad, but not horribly so, not as godawful as you’d think anyway. The tastes kind of layer themselves instead of mixing - first you’ve got the ultra-sugary & chocolatey nutella that overwhelms everything, then the meat of the sausage neuters and washes it, and finally the spicey fire comes as an aftertaste. Then you take another bite and it starts over. And yes, it was a bet. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/describe-some-awful-foods-combos/631618.md?page=4)
