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

French fries dipped in mayo. Common across the pond, but people here look at me like I’m weird.

I do that on occasion, but more frequently dip them in yellow mustard.

sour cream goes well with various things.

Sour cream and meatloaf is good.

Sour cream with macaroni and cheese as well as hot sauce, also good.

Got to disagree - that’ll be peanut butter and sweet pickle on crusty wheat toast for me please.

A nice bowl of chili con carne with a soft, gooey cinnamon roll floating in it.

I have to try this one. Thanks! (I might add a touch of honey as I usually do with plain Greek yogurt.)

A now-defunct restaurant in Chapel Hill, where I grew up, served an “African Tuna” sandwich. I have no idea why it was named that, but the filling was:
-Canned tuna
-Olive oil
-Garlic
-Curry powder
-Cayenne

and it was tasty.

But that’s not the weird part. They served a variation of the sandwich, in which the tuna was spread on peanut-buttered toast, and it was freakin DELICIOUS.

I also sometimes make myself a tuna melt using this recipe.

Would PB, banana and cream cheese sandwich be weird? I gots to know.

SC on corn chips right outta the bag (I’m so pedestrian.).

And cream cheese on pretzels.

ETA: Almost forgot to mention: This diner we frequent has a dish that consists of Pulled Pork (with sauce) on Macaroni & Cheese on top of a Cornbread Waffle with Cinnamon Butter and you can get syrup. It’s 2190 calories. :eek:

I like peanut butter with spicy bread & butter pickles in a sandwich myself. I’ve also been known to do peanut butter with hot pepper flakes, but it’s not quite the same as without the acidic punch of pickles.

OMG! You’re the only other person I’ve seen who likes this, apart from one of my friends’ kids.

But it has to be the right kind of peanut butter on the right kind of hot dog. Kraft smooth peanut butter, the kind with sugar in it, to start with. Organic “just peanuts” peanut butter will NOT work. The weiner is ideally a Schneider’s Red Hot, vaguely smoked and vaguely pork. And the weiner should not be too moist either.

I think there’s some sort of savoury/sweet contrast thing going on.

I prepared some table snacks by mixing pickled lupins and green olives. Is that weird, though?

Moving thread to Cafe Society (from MPSIMS).

I dip okra in ketchup.

I recently backed a hot sauce company on Kickstarter which is producing a strawberry-basil-and-Carolina-Reaper-sauce that’s intended as an ice cream topping.

It works surprisingly well.

I thought this was weird until my wife and kids introduced me to it, and I realized that every mall has a pretzel place that serves them like this.

Also ruined one of my frugal snack strategies, as I can no longer buy a $2 box of pretzels without doubling the price with at least 1 block of cream cheese.

I like mustard on a lot of things, including pretzels (soft or hard). So that’s what I do. No one else I know eats mustard at all.

Is it weird to dip hard sourdough pretzels in ice cream? My uncle turned me on to that when I was a kid. Doesn’t matter what kind but I prefer something chocolate based.

I didn’t discover it until last year, but it’s amazing. Add onions and or hot sauce to take it to the next level.

Hot sauce on vanilla ice cream is pretty good too.

My favorite breakfast sandwich—

egg
extra cheese
ham
bacon
breakfast sausage patty
ketchup
a little grape jelly
a few drops of Tabasco sauce

I love the sweet hot sauces such as Toad Sweat on ice cream.

Sadly I fear they may have gone out of business. It seems unavailable via the net at the moment. I will conserve my stash for special occasions

(bolding mine)

My mother puts a fair amount of grape jelly in her Swedish(?) Meatballs :confused:. It must do something, as they always disappear toot sweet.

… and wing it against the cafeteria wall. Yeah, I remember you from Junior High, Bennie. :smiley:

I like to put salsa on my tuna salad sandwiches. Perks them right up.

Sounds like a riff on the classic (at least in some parts) barbecue sauce & grape jelly combo for appetizer meatballs.
