Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn’t thought
Feta and watermelon
Cantelope and prosciutto
Anchovies in Ranch dressing (make it fresh, you animals)
Goldschlager and Cuervo Gold tequila as a shaken shot (tastes like snickerdoodles)
Pancakes topped with yogurt and honey or pistachio butter
Georgian pesto is walnuts and cilantro, 10/10
Peanut butter in a tomato stew sends it in an African direction, and it’s amazing
Deep fried olives filled with cheese
Salmon marinated in bourbon, touch of soy sauce, and brown sugar, baked.
Anchovies and capers on your pizza if you wear big boy pants
Red wine and coca cola if you’re 14
Candied pine cones and creme brulé is 1 million percent magic
Cheez-its and canned whipped cream tastes exactly like if you asked ChatGPT to describe what cheesecake tastes like.
Toast with mayo and powdered chocolate (Nesquik). Still not sure if my cousins were trying to pull a prank on me but it turned out to be one of my favourite childhood meals.
Try dunking cookies in tea. Or orange juice. I love both but I get strange looks when I tell people.
OTOH a few people have told me peanut butter and cheddar cheese make a great sandwich. I tried once, was not a fan.
Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Maybe with a little Sriracha.
Peanut butter and a slice of onion makes a way better sandwich than you would ever think too.
I’ve done that one a few times. Credit to Fred Savage in Little Monsters for putting me on the idea. My sis and I probably rented that movie a hundred times growing up.
As does peanut butter and bacon.
Someone needs to make a peanut butter, dill pickle, onion, and bacon sandwich and let us know how it is.
Milkshake with crispy bacon. You’ve got sweet, fatty, salty, crunchy, umami, creamy. So amazing. Blend or crumble a couple pieces into it but then have a whole piece or two stuck in it so you have bigger pieces to play around with. Has no business being as good as it is
In college we used to take a Ritz cracker, ez cheese, and top with a pizza roll. I haven’t tried one in some years now but I remember it slapped at the time
Used to know someone who would pour a box of junior mints into popcorn at the theater. Shake it a couple times, let it sit just long enough to get a little melty, then go wild. Bonus points for adding enough buttery topping to soak through the bottom of the container
In the same vein, pepperoni and milk
Bread and everything else
Salami and banana peppers.
Garlic bread and sausage gravy.
Please just trust me and try it. It’s actually really fucking good.
Make your a salami sandwich with the following steps.
- Toast the bread.
- pan fry the salami slices til their a little crispy on the edges.
- spread hummus on the bread once it’s toasted.
- add the crispy salami, some lettuce, and seasoned tomato to your sandwich and enjoy.
People look at me sideways for using hummus as a sandwich spread, but it’s delicious.
This is one of those recipes that I have to stop and ask what’s wrong with the people in your life that they can’t assess hummus, a spread frequently served on breads, with the same eyes they use on any other spread. They wouldn’t think twice if you served them a board with all the listed ingredients as a grazing spread.
Strawberries and black pepper. You’re welcome.
Basically everything sweet with hot seasoning. One of my favorites: Mango with Chili! :-)
Your Hispanic is showing
lol I take it as a compliment, because my country of origin is not known for its kitchen. :-P
it is a compliment XD
One of my favorite grocery store salsas is spicy mango!
Currently I have a spicy pineapple salsa but that’s not as good because it’s “white” salsa, no tomatoes
Just tried this for the first time after learning about it from your comment. Pretty good! 👍
I’d go one further; strawberry chilli sorbet. sweet strawberry, hot and cold at the same time… perfection
I have a 200 item list of grazing board foods that I’ve personally mixed and sampled every single 2 and 3 item combination and curated every item to be acceptable to delicious in 3 part combos.
By far the two strangest combos to any guest are the spicy salami and the dark chocolate on baguette bread or the rum dates and stone stone-ground mustard on butter cracker.
The sweet and bitter of the chocolate mixes so well with the oilly spice of the meat, and the baguette bridges the textures to provide a comfortable mouthfeel by soaking it in.
For the second, the vinegar and tang of the mustard heighten the rum without taking away the sweet paste of the dates and the cracker provides enough texture to not feel like you’re eating sauce and enough salt to soften the vinegar and alcohol bite.
Honestly, it’s my favorite dinner even because it’s so much fun to watch people look at you in horror when you suggest they try something, then try it and see that horror melt away into absolute wonder.
Are you willing to share the curated list? 🤞🏻
I believe this is a multi choose problem. 200C2 is 19,900. 200C3 is 1,313,400. You’ve tried all 1,333,300 combinations? More actually for the items that were tried but didn’t make the cut. I want the list this sounds like a culinary masterpiece
Half pure orange juice and half cola.
Sounds similar to “Spezi”, a mixture of cola and orange soda, which is quite popular here in Germany.
Orange soda is very different from pure orange.
Extra tip: use pulpy pure orange so you get little bits floating around in the brown drink. It adds extra texture. It looks absolutely disgusting, but it tastes great.
Fuck u/spezi
Oh wait, sorry, knee-jerk reaction. Carry on.
Chicago corn (cheddar popcorn mixed with caramel corn). Sounds weird - is awesome.
Yes! This combo is awesome!
Garrett was our favorite stop on the food tour!
A fried egg on top of just about anything
PB & J, I mean yeah, tried and true, but it’s odd that peanuts and berries go well together when both are squished 😅
Wait til you try PB and cheddar
Try sunflower seed butter and honey!
