What foods do you like together that most people might not? Or what foods do you like together that people usually wouldn’t think of having together?

I’ll start - steak and pound cake. I kind of stumbled onto this combo by accident by showing up late to dinner when dessert was being served. So I put a steak and a slice of pound cake on a plate and just ate thrm together. Surprisingly good.

    Visiting Iceland I was just introduced to licorice and chocolate (mostly in the form of chocolate covered licorice candy bars). In some parts of the world, like the US, I think this is an unfamiliar combination, but it’s pretty good.

      Man, I just couldn’t bring myself to try it. I will eat just about anything, but black licorice is not my favorite. I did have hakarl and chased it with some Black Death, though!

      Not sure if it’s just in Canada, but that describes Big Turk chocolate bars! They are indeed delicious.

    I’m sure people like french fries and a hot fudge sundae together. But I actually like sticking the fries in the ice cream itself and eating it that way.

    Waffles with cream cheese and blueberry jam. I personally don’t think it’s that weird but I’ve gotten looks from roommates.

      I can totally get behind this! I had an Elvis burger once (PB, bacon, caramelized banana, burger patty) and it was amazing, but I was also drunk at the time.

        Hmm, you appear to be suggesting that there isn’t already crunch, thereby revealing yourself as a preferrer of smooth peanut butter and undercooked toast. Not impressed…

    Dude, a small spoon of cottage cheese on a Lay’s original potato chip. It’s so amazing.

    Sometimes I like to dip the end of a french fry in just a bit of pickle juice, then into some good powdered parmesan cheese.

      Former PLer/OLer here. I used to eat some strange combos to get my protein/macros. I feel you!

    Chicken nuggets dipped in apple sauce. This discovery dates back to when I was a kid, and it was Dad’s turn to cook dinner.

    Peanut butter and cheese.

    Peanut butter and pickles.

    Peanut butter and raw onion slices.

    Peanut butter and tuna fish.

    I’ve tried peanut butter combined with the strangest pairings I can imagine. They’ve all been excellent.

      I lived in Micronesia when I was young, and I have memories of people, including myself, eating that. Now I can’t imagine wanting that combo, but I believe it was not uncommon there.

        Here in Brazil it’s very unusual. Rice is usually combined with beans.
