I know I’m alone here. But for me fruit and chocolate.
Chocolate, perfectly nice dessert food. Fruit, lovely. Together they’re several kinds of nasty.
I didn’t realize this would be so god-awful until I tried it.
Came back to my desk with a styrofoam cup filled with hot fresh brewed coffee.
We were out of sugar packets but I do like my coffee on the sweet side.
We did however have a large jar filled with Jolly Rancher candies.
Sugar is sugar right?
I put in two watermelon flavored candies which disolved fairly well from the heat.
Tried a sip…
Absolutely retchid! Grotesque! Not even a sweet form of gross. It was a bitter foul taste worse than most oral medications. Don’t ever try it.
Beer and Orange Juice. The poor man’s mimosa.
I’ve posted many times that chocolate belongs in the candy dish and not the fruit bowl.
This reminds me of when, as a kid, I tried to dissolve Pixie Stix to make Koolaid.
One thing I’ve learned the hard way is NEVER mix cream cheese and mayonnaise. While both are great on bread, combining the two is a quick and easy way to get an upset stomach. Infact, just thinking about the combination makes me feel sick…I’ll be right back…
**Alice **asked for *two *great tastes.
I have a friend who’s somewhat of an idiot savant when it comes to food. She could come over and make a delicious meal with whatever was left in my cabinets, which was usually things that no self-respecting rat would touch. That said, she once tried a combination of two or my favorite foods, and it didn’t work AT ALL!
Never try covering raw garlic in chocolate.
Ever.
A few:
-peppermint and beer
-peppermint and wine
-chicken livers and vanilla
Orange is ok in chocolate bar.
But Black Forest Cake is one of the nastiest things ever. Don’t know why, because I like the cherries and the chocolate. Just not together. And chocolate- covered cherries are hideous, which that white goo isn’t helping a bit.
With the right fixin’s, that combination is good – my favorite shrimp dip is (from memory here):
-1 cup mayo
-1 cup cream cheese
-2 tbsp ketchup
-1 tbsp what’sthishere sauce (worcestershire)
-1 small can of shrimp (I crush them with a fork)
-1 shake of garlic powder
-s&p to taste
great with chips!

Coffee + tea = undrinkable swill.
ETA: Lipton orange pekoe, before anyone comes back and tells me that they accidentally mixed Sumatra blend and blueberry mist in the Flavia machine at work, and it tasted marbelous.
I make an amazing hot spinach dip using cream cheese (or lower-fat neufchatel cheese), sour cream, and either low-fat mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (I actually prefer the latter), with parmesan cheese and lots of garlic and red pepper flakes. Spinach too, of course. It’s on the heavy side, but comes out delicious.
I came in here to say cranberry sauce and milk. Of course, it’s been years since I thought of milk as a “great taste.”
Beer and Oreo cookies … just don’t.
Skittle Brau.
Chocolate-covered steak.
This morning on the radio (WROR out of Boston), one of the hosts remarked that he’d had Italian food heavily laced with garlic salt, then had a chocolate bunny for dessert, and the taste was AWFUL!
He needed a whole Cadbury Egg to get the taste out.
Raw onion slices on a peaut-butter sandwich. My mom used to make them and tell me the flavor was a totally differnt flavor.
Weird…just…weird…
Onion bagel and cream cheese is good.
Onion bagel and strawberry jam is horrible.
Ah, thanks, I thought mojitos were just lime flavored. Now that I know they’re minty, too, I know to not try one. (Citrus and lime. Ew. Too much like a cough drop.)
