Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.

It's delicious.

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

It's really nice with vanilla as well

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

"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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It was just strange to me when someone told me about it, and when I tell other people they think it's strange too.

Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! ๐Ÿ˜‹

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Peanut butter, mayo, dill pickle sandwich. Might not be too rare, I've met a few other people who eat variations of this but damn is it good.

You gotta watch out though cuz all that mayo will sneak up on you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

Strawberries and black pepper.

Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It's basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

Alcohol and power tools.

I ate a burger with doughnuts instead of buns, was surprisingly good

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

A shower and an orange. You can just devour that orange like a caveman without worrying about the mess. Shower beer is good too, just because it is nice to have a cold beverage under a hot shower.

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it's a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ordered one once and the waiter didn't know what I was talking about so I just got a beer. He comes back later with a big smile on his face holding a glass with some liquid in it saying he brought me a pickleback. It was premixed. I shot it, it was a lot of liquid, and only once it was in my mouth did I realize they had used bread and butter pickle juice.

Orange slices and salt. ๐Ÿง‚๐ŸŠ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That actually makes sense if you like Phad Thai

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've only ever tried it once, and no drugs were involved but a Irish o garlic bratwurst, and a Hershey chocolate bar. Sooo good.v

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yea, this is surprising nice!

Have you tried coffee with light beer? (Lagers/pils, not the usual stouts)

On the fence for these ๐Ÿ™ƒ
