I voted shrimp and grits, burger and onion rings, something else and other, which was seasoned, seared foie gras perched atop a brioche and glazed with pineapple gastrique and served with a Sauternes. Didn’t see that one on there. ---

Voted other for chili & baked potato. I learned about it here a few years ago. It was a life changing moment. 😉 I would have never thought to pair those together. Add some shredded cheese and sour cream. Yum ---

I am surprised at the hate for cake and ice cream. Double yum. Also, I missed baked potato and sour cream, another classic pairing. mmm ---

Have you ever put baked beans on fried chicken? Or put BBQ sauce on rice, or put sour cream on meatloaf? This list is not comprehensive. ---

Looks like **pulykamell** and I are the only ones so far who picked “chicken paprikash and galuska”. I am pretty sure that this is only because none of the rest of you have ever had chicken paprikash and galuska. Otherwise it would be leading the poll by a huge margin. 🙂 ---

I am pretty sure that this is only because none of the rest of you have ever had chicken paprikash and galuska. Otherwise it would be leading the poll by a huge margin. 🙂 I wanted to select that and only didn’t because I’m vegetarian. One of my favorite treats is paprikás made with Quorn naked “chik’n” cutlets and homemade nökedli. Even though making nökedli is a serious PITA because I lack the proper equipment. But yeah, I’ve really been going to town on Hungarian tofu goulash and Quorn paprikás lately. I usually make homemade egg pasta to go with the goulash, but last time made it with nökedli and that was sooooo good. ---
