Food combos that seem gross but aren't

Hey! I’m not the only one! I’ll also occasionally dip chicken nuggets in a Frostie. They don’t go as well with it as the fries, but it’s still a pretty good combo.

When I was a kid, I liked chocolate (particularly Crunch bars) dipped in pizza sauce. I haven’t tried it in over 10 years and honestly don’t think it sounds that good anymore, despite having liked it before.

My sister is a fan of bacon with chocolate, but the rest of my family doesn’t like the combination. We still give her a hard time about the bacon chocolate cupcakes she made for our dad’s birthday a few years ago.

Salsa Omelet. Used to make me cringe when my father did this. 25 years later the old taste buds have changed to a point where it has gone from disgusting to delicious.

Heh - I used to think that my dad’s habit of using malt vinegar was totally disgusting - now I love it on my french fries.

French fries dipped in chocolate shake or frostie is deee-licious.

I’m from Eastern Europe so when I came to the US the idea of coke mixed with vanilla ice cream (a coke ice cream float) sounded very weird.

It turned out to be the most delicious thing ever, but I’ve yet to convince anyone over here.

Heh, I remember the struggle I had when I was with a group of international students in college to get them to try a root beer float so I’m not surprised. Most of them quite liked it once they did however. Hope you get them on our side later :slight_smile:

When I was a kid, my folks and I would visit Poland every four years, and one year I introduced the local kids to the idea of a Coke float at a local kawiarnia (cafe). I must have been around 14 at the time, which would have been 1989. The kids all first looked at me like I was some kind of weirdo, but by the end of the trip, almost all of them were making Coke floats for themselves. :slight_smile: I don’t know if it stuck, but I had them convinced for at least that summer.

One slice of toast slathered on one side with ketchup; another slice of toast slathered on one side with maple syrup; put a couple slices of scrapple between 'em, then squash together…you’ve got yourself a respectable Philly breakfast sandwich, my friend.

I thought EVERYBODY dunked fries in a milkshake (or Frosty)! Some prefer chocolate shakes, others prefer strawberry, but you gotta scoop up a blob of ice cream with the fry and eat it before the blob slides off.

A good friend introduced me to hot chocolate and Fritos. I think she also taught me to eat green grapes with potato chips.

And potato chips BELONG in a bologna (“bloney”) sandwich. You open up the sandwich, pile on a layer of chips, and then squish the whole thing back together again.

Sweet gherkin pickles sliced thin and included in a cheese sandwich before grilling is sublime.

It’s also MANDATORY to put strawberry jam on an Egg McMuffin before you eat it.
