Apples and peanut butter. Chicken and rice. Mashed potatoes and peas. Deep-fried breaded mushrooms and pizza sauce. Deep-fried breaded mushrooms and ranch dressing (bizarre, but good). Summer sausage and cheese. Chocolate milk and chocolate chip cookies. Strawberries and bananas (with or without ice cream and/or whipped cream and/or hot fudge) Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. And, the one that gets me the funny looks and "eww"s: Brownies and lemonade. * * * Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99. “I get along well with everybody.” --I.M.F. ---

Now work with me here. You’re going to have to trust me on this one. Ham and bananas. It makes a good sandwich. But even better is if you cube both up and fry them together in butter. Maybe spinkle on a little brown sugar. ---

Strawberries and champagne. Chef Troy and Mrs. Chef. Oh, and the person who said “sex and smoking” reminded me of a joke I heard the other day: two hookers are talking shop. One says to the other, “so, you smoke after you do it?” and the other one says, “I don’t know…I never looked.” * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-two-things-go-so-well-together/11856.md?page=2)
