Weird Food Combinations You Like

Vinegar on fries is weird? And gravy too? Oh, you crazy 'Muricans. Bet you think poutine (fries topped with cheese curds and gravy) is downright strange, right? :slight_smile:

I have to second the motion for hot sauce on mango, though I prefer to use this kind.

My SIL the corn freak makes ice cream with brown sugar and creamed corn.

I sometimes add some mustard into the eggs before I cook them. I haven’t tried chicken soup. Salsa works but ketchup is usually handier.

Try olives in your eggs (the green ones not the black ones).

Poutine is tasty. Not that strange in concept, but definitely not something you’d see around here. Still, being asked for gravy on my fries as a matter of course (when it’s not part of the dish, as in poutine) sounds about as odd to my ears as ordering fries and being asked whether I’d like chocolate syrup with that.

At LJS, I never thought to use the vinegar with fries–I always thought it was there just for the fish (VERY tasty!). For the fries, I used the ketchup that was also provided.
When I was a kid, at school on hamburger day, we always had lime jello for dessert. I would save the ripple-cut chips to eat with the jello. Mmmmm–yummy!

I don’t remember if I did or not. I don’t think so. I think just lettuce, tomato, and onion. I thought the peanut butter would go really well with the onion and be passable with everything else but really it clashed hard with the tomato and the hamburger tastes. It was good enough to finish, but just barely. I wouldn’t do it again.

My dad used to make banana sandwiches. He spread the banana with a knife. Then he would add onions,peanut butter or pickles. For some reason there is no law against that.

You can get a hamburger with peanut butter and Scott’s Place in Indy~

Peanut butter and onion is the best sandwich in the world.

I don’t doubt that one bit - in fact I googled a bit after trying it and found that some people had done it before me - but I had never heard of it at the time. I think it’s certainly uncommon enough to be called “weird” - as opposed to some of the things in the thread like vinegar fries, or fries and frostys - those are some of the first things I think of to pair fries with, after ketchup, of course. But I don’t blame whoever said fries and frostys; I’ve met about a million people in my life who thought they “discovered” that, including my wife :).

No, because God intended ketchup should be used on scrambled eggs. Shortly after He decreed it would be a condiment on hot dogs only until the age of six.

Milk and Pepsi.
Milk and Grape soda (you don’t even know).

Peanut butter and salami/or taylor ham sandwiches.

Fries with cheese and gravy are a staple here (New Jersey) They call them Disco Fries most commonly.

Cheetos in melted chocolate (if available)

Gummi-bears on pizza (if available)

There are a few more…I can’t think of them at the moment though…

Snickers bars and really hot chunky salsa is all i got for wierd tastes, you guys have blown me outta the water.

The milk and pepsi ones i’m still trying to wrap my mind around. Do you just drink them… together?

I made a thread about that a few years ago and Anasataseon drew some hilarious pictures of herself trying it. Maybe if I spelled her name right she’ll do a vanity search and come post them.

French fries with mayo: common in Europe, greeted with horror in the U.S.
Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches, which I’ve often touted on this board
Chocolate/chili: common in Mexico, not so much in the U.S.

Heathen! Everyone knows god demands we eat our scrambled eggs with salsa.

I like chocolate and cheese. My favorite snack on a cold evening is a quesadilla and hot chocolate. I don’t know how weird that is, though, it seems like a lot of people like sweet and salty things together.

Really? I’ve had Mexican hot chocolate in several places in the US. It doesn’t seem that unusual. It IS delicious, though. Yum, spicy chocolate.

It seems to be gaining in popularity. We even have a shop here that serves a very spicy hot chocolate. I put bittersweet in my chili to give it a bit of a mole’ flavor.

Y’know, this has me wondering what a hamburger with Thai peanut sauce would be like…

Peanut butter, bacon and American cheese on toast. Plus you get your weekly recommended salt intake in one sandwich. I’ll sometimes add some lettuce for my veggie intake.
