        My wife puts sliced apple in salad all the time. My aunt makes panini sandwiches with apple or pear slices on them. Apples are the best.

        Sounds interesting, will have to try the mustard. If I’m feeling decadent (and have the ingredients on hand), I’ll make myself a grilled cheese with pear slices and bacon on sourdough.

      “Things that sound like an awful combination”

      I don’t feel that this one fits the bill. Why would those two flavours be awful together? Beef + cheese = good

      Eggs on hamburgers are awesome, especially over easy!

      I tried the peanut butter on my hamburger, and it is okay, but the peanut butter overpowered the hamburger imo. I’d prefer a grilled PB&J to be honest.

    Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don’t have to share!

    I always hated the idea to put beans and bananas together. It is a fairly common habit in my country, tho, but it’s a no-no for me in general.

    But once I tried a Nigerian dish that had beans, bananas, shrimps and pepper and I absolutely fucking loved it. Seriously, the flavor was from another world.

      Forgive the spelling but I think that’s called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!

      Not too surprising, considering hot peppers and peanut butter are a SEAsian stable and veggie, bread and meat are fairly neutral ingredients

    I’m gonna go with game genres, specifically roguelikes and rhythm-based games. They sound terrible together and yet, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and also Cadence of Hyrule) is the shit.

      Turn based + time pressure is just such an insane combination. Makes the simplest games insanely harder, escalates the potential for blunders and at the same time enables flow. Bullet chess is similar in that regard.

    Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.

      Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

      And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.

      We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It’s a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.

        This is how I upgrade all my noodles. Everyone asks my secret to make them creamy and nutty. I tell them “Add the ingredient in your kitchen called ‘chunky peanut butter’” None of them believe me.

      Also coffee. It doesn’t make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn’t help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.
