Where no meal has gone before (combos no one but you are eating)

I hope they’re going to name it after you! “The Kayaker” is a great name for a special sandwich.

I did when I was a kid. I prefer PB and mayo, though. My brother was the only other person I ever knew who ate them.

Last night’s dinner was cut-up-and-fried hot dogs mixed with orzo pasta. Pretty sure I’m on the cutting edge with that one.

I’ve mentioned in other threads the sublime mix of a grilled hot dog topped with chunky peanut butter and sriracha.

My sandwich concoctions can get truly odd- I’m on a horseradish kick rn and my breakfast combo today was a fried egg on toast with mayo, fresh ground horseradish and wahlburgers bbq sauce.

heh andi thought as a kid i was being impressive and going by some reactions horrifying by eating pizza bbq ect for breakfast (its why i love truck stops … they dont bat an eye when you want pulled pork and coleslaw at 7 or 8 am )

A good medium or dry cheddar and grape jelly, wheat bread or other “brown” bread, never white bread. learned this along with sweet baby pickles and cheese on saltines at Mama’s knee as a youngling

Rice, sauerkraut, and bacon and/or ham chunks, all mixed together in a big old pot and cooked until the rice is sticky and sort of mushy. Strongly flavored and sticks to your ribs like nobody’s business

Not a meal but a snack. Tortilla chips dipped in marmite . There is a British snack called Twigletts which look like little sticks and are marmite flavored. They are not available in the US so a bag of tortilla chips and a 600g tub of marmite for dipping makes an excellent substitute.

There are lots of stores in the U.S. that sell food items that aren’t typical for American supermarkets but which they do anyway. The supermarket half a mile from me has a couple long aisles with food that’s not typical for American supermarkets but which they specially import to the U.S. One section of it is called British/Irish foods, and the food there is stuff actually made in the U.K. and Ireland, not imitations of it. I don’t know if it has Twiglets there or in a different place in the store. There are certainly stores within an easy drive of me that have them. It’s probably true that there are rural sections of the U.S. where you’d have to drive a long way to find food from the U.K. Even there, you can order Twiglets mailed to you, since there are several mail-order places in the U.S. that will send you food from a variety of foreign countries.

Pretty sure it used to be printed on the package of either oatmeal or evaporated milk or something like that back in the '60s. Using oatmeal was a very common variation.

Amazon carries a range of sizes and at least two varieties (I’m US-based, so if it shows up available for me, should be for you too).

That sounds positively glorious.

Yes , but now I have discovered the self made alternative , I don’t think I can go back to twiglets. The ability to choose each chips level of saltiness with a big tub of the good stuff to dip from is quite wonderful.
Plus it’s way cheaper .

Makes sense. Glad you found something that works well for you. Enjoy!

Not that I don’t appreciate the pointers from all y’all to get the twiglets, thanks.

(Not technically a meal, sorry)

I once absent-mindedly added a splash of peppermint mocha Coffee Mate to a shot of vodka. Of course I drank it (I would no more throw away alcohol than @CairoCarol would throw away food), albeit with some trepidation. But it was delicious!

Haven’t done it since, though.

Sour cream mixed with brown sugar is a traditional fancy fruit dip/sauce. I like it better than sour cream with honey.

Especially with vodka-marinated strawberries!

Actually that doesn’t sound so bad - doesn’t vodka go with almost anything? :grin:

I once did something weirder than that but along the same lines. It was red wine and coffee (hey, they looked the same color in dim light). I thought I’d have a sip just out of curiosity before dumping it out, and was amazed to discover it tasted pretty good.

I was going to say the classic addition is Grand Marnier macerated strawberries.

Not really weird, but probably uncommon (but delish), grilled cheese with Mexican Velveeta and black rye bread.

I once had a Russian girlfriend who mixed raisins and sour cream. Quite tasty, actually.
