Do you have any weird food combinations that actually taste good to you?

I usually add potato chips or Doritos to PBJ’s, ham & cheese, sloppy joes, and hamburgers. IMO, it adds some extra flavor to the sandwich, along with an added crunch as well.

The most common food, drink, and condiment combos (IMO) include: dipping fries in milkshakes, using different flavors of milk for cereal, using more than 1 condiment, and mixing all holiday food together (Thanksgiving).

On an extra note, a “Hurricane” is when someone uses every single sauce that’s available. This usually happens at Subway or similar restaurants.

Squash and blood sausage. It happens in stewed beans and is one of my favorites.

3

My wife thought it was weird that I “dipped” Fritos in cream cheese. It’s pretty much the only thing we ever used cream cheese for growing up. It’s delicious!

4

I make cranberry sauce with zero added sugar by just simmering cranberries with a splash of water. I then add a few tablespoons of this cranberry sauce to a dish of plain Greek yogurt. Delicious!

5

My favorite sandwich is tuna salad with lettuce, a slice of cheese and bacon crumbles.

6

A good, sturdy cheddar cheese makes a fine sandwich with quite a range of jams/jellos/preserves. Some you might like to try: strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, cranberry, apricot, apple.

Cottage cheese works well with Indian pickles like lime or brinjal.

Marinara (or any red) pasta sauce and Sriracha. Easy way to add a little heat to spaghetti or lasagna.

8

I always get a Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich with mayonnaise. I was introduced to this exact sandwich probably in the early 1980’s by a dude who worked for my dad, and I don’t think I have ever seen anyone else ever order a BEC with mayonnaise except for me and him.

9

Mexican crema + pineapple. I mean… yum!

10

Pizza with chocolate chip cookies. Not on top of the pizza but a bite of pizza, a bite of cookie. Good stuff!

11

Fresh strawberries dipped in balsamic vinegar, with or without a 2nd dip in powdered sugar.

Fresh strawberries rolled in freshly cracked black pepper.

Figs or dates stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, and seared in a balsamic vinegar reduction.

Pineapple jalapeno jelly with cracked pepper, a dab of cream cheese, both sitting on a Ritz cracker.

12

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches.

13

Red jello and chocolate pudding. Try it!

Qadgop mostly beat me to it, but here’s how I learned it:

Strawberries soaked an hour in balsamic vinegar with a pinch of sugar. Then serve over vanilla ice cream with a bit of coarse black pepper.

15

A guest at a party I attended brought a salad made from watermelon, supremed grapefruit and oranges, fresh jalapeno & mint, tossed in a balsamic based dressing. I think there was something else dark in color, maybe blueberries or grapes? Anyway, I took a small, just-being-polite token portion and quickly went back for more. I was astounded at how well it all came together.

I sometimes stir a few spoonfuls of hot giardiniera into cottage cheese with a small pinch of oregano.

16

Are these considered weird? I would not be surprised to see them on a catering menu or in a good cook book.

17

Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. A fave since childhood.

Hot dogs with chunky peanut butter and Sriracha. Salty, smokey, sweet and hot. Yummm.

18

Peanut butter and salami sandwiches.

Hot dogs with peanut butter.

Pickled herring and mayonnaise.

19

I like peanut butter and mustard sandwiches

Fritos dipped in blueberry yogurt.
