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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I put some pickled cowboy popcorn salt on some rice with seasoning salt. Tasted ridiculously good.

      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.

      Drizzle a bit of honey in the sandwich. Also can sub in apple slices instead of banana if you want a bit of crunch.

        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…

    Just a heads up, let’s try to phrase post titles in the form of a question, please. The rule is pretty lax for the moment, but will be enforced further down the line with the use of an automoderator bot.

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

    When I was young, I put ketchup and apple sauce on my broccoli because I hated the taste of it. I don’t put it on the broccoli anymore but I still mix ketchup and apple sauce together.
