Individually both these items are generally fine. But what ever you do… Do not ever dip McDonalds Mcnuggets into Dominoes Sweet Mango Habenaro sauce. The flavors/chemicals cancelled each other out, all that was left is the flavor of old fryer grease. :smack: yea yea, we all know ketchup needs to be administered intravenously to the flavor impaired, But… Lets us pick some unambiguous food combinations that you tried to make happen, that are fine alone, BUT… (S.Pen did not E.Shue). :o ---

Pimento cheese as a substitute for cream cheese in California Rolls. Epic Fail. ---

Green tea with honey, plus lemon juice is not a suitable substitute for green tea with lemon, plus honey. ---

My mom once made roasted chicken (pieces) with cheese melted on top. Once. I know what the next person is going to say: But Chicken Cordon Bleu! No. This was nothing like CCB. I don’t know where things went wrong but I can never eat chicken and cheese again, in any shape or form. ---

I made a Hungarian soup, once, that included both cabbage and nutmeg. I threw the cookbook away along with the soup. ---

Black coffee with a slice of lemon in it. I was curious and I couldn’t imagine it, so I tried it. It tasted like burnt ass. ---

I tried quinoa because everyone raves about it, and found it to be extremely bland. I thought mixing in some salsa would liven it up. No, it simple made inedible lumpy goo. A friend gave me a recipe for mushroom soup made with sauerkraut juice. :eek: That person is no longer my friend. ---

I make a mustard sauce that I usually put over ham and parsnips and enjoy the results. The other night I had no parsnips, but I did have snow peas. BAD IDEA. ---

McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets and Mountain Dew. Not sure why, but drinking a Dew after eating a nugget creates this horrible metallic taste in your mouth. ---

> [@xizor](#): > > A friend gave me a recipe for mushroom soup made with sauerkraut juice. :eek: > That person is no longer my friend. Ukrainian and Russian cuisine includes soups that are made with sauerkraut and mushrooms. Typically, this will involve wild mushroom varieties that have a more intense flavor than the plain white mushrooms that dominate here in the US. Tat said, the result is still a matter of taste. I don’t like sauerkraut, I won’t like the soup no matter what kind of mushroom you waste in it. ---

I like cottage cheese. I like fresh pineapple. Sometimes, because I have no dedicated lunch containers and a small fridge, I will put the two together to transport them as my work lunch. Eaten the same day, these are fine. If you forget them in the fridge and decide to eat them the next day, the fresh pineapple’s acid evidently curdles the cottage cheese and hey presto, Satan’s Vomit ensues. :eek: ---

It’s pretty, but I’ve never done more then enjoy its appearance. Is coffee with a wedge of lemon “a thing”? ---
