Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn’t thought
Salmon + roasted Brussels sprouts
My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it’s good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.
Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.
Wendy’s French fries dipped in their frosty. It was at least a good combination twenty years ago …
Coffee and bananas
Bananas and cheese.
Mr. Rogers taught me that one
Frank’s Red Hot and bananas.
F. R. H. is not good in coffee.
It’s the vinegar that causes the problems, straight chili powder in coffee is nice
Orzo (rice shaped pasta) and peanut butter, its ultra-dense camping food, never need to make more than a small bowl.
My brother-in-law hiked the Appalachian Trail on a diet of peanut butter tortilla wraps
A fried egg on top of just about anything
Jägermeister with milk. Or Batida de coco (with or without milk). Or with lemon juice and definitely no milk. (Don’t judge me, it’s legit good with milk)
Southern style sweet tea and lemonade.
Kimchi and sweet potato. It’s pretty common in South Korea too.
Peanut butter and ajvar.
Blue cheese and Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper brings out the sweetness of the cheese and the tanginess of the cheese complements the sour of the soda.
Dr Pepper is the blue cheese of soda, after all.
Blue cheese and grapes is also a fantastic combination. Pretty sure this is well known in France.
Most types of cheese on top of hot beans
Pineapples and pizza. Yeah I said it.
So no joke, I talked shit about pineapple on pizza for years. Then, I can’t remember why specifically, but we had someone over and asked what type of pizza she wanted, and she said Hawaiian. And there was some leftover. I grew up poor, and we do not waste food, so I decided it was worth trying it.
It was amazing. I immediately felt silly for being so against it.
My wife still refuses to try it on principle (she did grow up near NYC, so she has STRONG opinions on pizza).
I also grew up near NYC. Hawaiian is underrated and everyone should try it at least once.
I’m glad you had an open mind, and didn’t waste food. (We also grew up unable to waste food)
Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it’s not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it’s the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.
I’ve had New York pizza. It’s mid. It’s fine. It’s ok. It’s not the best pizza in the universe guys. It’s convenient because there’s no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.
And peach, too!
Oreos and yellow mustard. Don’t knock it til you try it. Then call me a heathen, respectfully.
Oreos and queso dip. I tried it as a joke at a party - to the disgust of my wife and friends - but it was great!
Which mustard? I have four different ones in my fridge right now that are meant for different things. I recon the choice matters for oreos.
Is it that yellow American slime?
Roasted cauliflower and chocolate. I like to dust coco powder in the last 3 min.
Raisins and anchovies.
Mushrooms and coffee.
Garlic, chocolate, and coffee.
