Would you like some sugar on your booger? (_I_ certainly don’t eat them, but some kids do!) Chips and dips. Bologna and spumoni. Berries and cherries. > [@scifisam2009](#): > > For Americans, Cheddar and Feta. Maybe for some on the East Coast, sort of, but for most Americans, no. ---

> [@](#): > > Apple scrapple. Might work. Back when I was a kid and my family went to the beach in Delaware, we always used to drive through a town advertising the “Apple Scrapple Festival.” They didn’t say whether the apples and scrapple were to be consumed separately or together, though. Mustard and custard. Lamb, ham, clam, and jam. ---

You could serve that tori and nori with a sauce made from miso and shiso. (fermented soy bean paste and perilla) And a soup of yuzu and kuzu. (Although such a soup would probably be called something like yuzu-no-kuzuan) Myself, I’ll have a bowl of mice’n’rice. ETA: You could also have buri and kuri! (Yellowfin with chestnuts) Or some ushi sushi! (cow sushi) Or that down-home favorite: same and mame! (shark ‘n’ beans!) ---
