(possible poll in the future)

You get 4 nominations and unlimited seconds.

I’m looking for classic food and/or drink combos - you know, liver & onions, milk & cookies, mac & cheese, etc.

Entries outside of the spirit of the thread (I like ketchup on my bananas) will be ignored.

I will eventually create a poll if there are enough entries to make it interesting.

Agreed. It only makes sense to me if you add something to it, like hot dogs and mac and cheese or something. Not saying I would.
