Chocolate chip cookies dipped in fruit punch or pink lemonade instead of milk.
The tang with the sweet crunch is delicious
Cream corn and ham. Sweet and salty!
I don't eat animal products anymore but something I had previously was a pimento cheese and pickled watermelon rind sandwich and that was unusual.
Mixing watermelon and vanilla
Pepperoni in a tortilla, microwaved a few seconds, is pretty damn good.
Throw in some mozzarella and pizza sauce, and you've got a ghetto mega pizza bite
I'm usually not willing to commit *that* much. Sometimes string cheese is a good addition but then the cook time is longer and maybe the peps or tortilla get overdone.
Fritos dipped in cookie dough.
Surprisingly AMAZING!
Sprite and milk. 1 part milk to 2 parts sprite give it a creamy after taste
Honestly at first I was like WTF however I do love Sprite vanilla ice cream floats.
It's almost like what used to be a popular drink in Ontario and Manitoba, but nearly unheard of anywhere else I've asked. It's just Pilk with alcohol.
The Paralyzer:
1 part milk
2 parts pepsi or coca cola
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce coffee liqueur
Jail.
What the fuck.
Username checks out.
Sounds better than Pilk.
That actually sounds good. I'm gonna try it
What's wrong with potato milk?
Oh no you don't. You don't get to rewrite a legend.
I swear I didn't know! .. honestly hadn't heard of it, TBH though, not interested in trying it.
My dad used to make this for us when we were kids
That kinda came up watching Brutalmoose play Nancy Drew yesterday. Everyone was ignoring him once the subject of Dirty Cola came up, and everyone just wanted to talk about that. I guess it’s a Morman thing?
As a Spanish speaker, Dirty Cola hits different.
Isn't this basically an egg cream
I guess? Now I know what an egg cream is so now I have something I wanna try
It's not exactly *food* but drinking a dr. Pepper while smoking weed leaves an after taste in my mouth that is *exactly* like a fig newton.
I will crush some diet dr. Pepper. Idk why, it probably causes 8 different kinds of taint cancer what with the chemicals , but fuck it's delicious!
You just brought me back to Uni in a VERY serious way.
I need to find a Dr Pepper and test this.
I tried pickles on a grilled cheese sandwich last week. It was good.
Sort of like a failed Cubano
Ooohhhh, yes. I’ve done that since I was young; very good
Also try ketchup and mustard. I tried this after watching a contestant on Taskmaster New Zealand utterly fail to ruin a grilled cheese, to the point where the "judge" said it was one of the best grilled cheeses he'd had.\
Fantastic breakroom sandwich, if you have a toaster oven.
yeah, ketchup, pickles, and (most?) mustards have an acidic component that works really well in contrast to fatty things like cheese.
Thanks! I'll try it!
That's not weird though. Cheese and pickle sandwiches are a thing. Now if you were to throw sauerkraut in there...
Kimchi grilled cheese is incredible, I would absolutely try sauerkraut grilled cheese.
Cucumbers and honey is considered weird in other countries from what I gather
Slice of ham, leaf of lettuce, coleslaw. Roll that sucker up like a little burrito. Nom nom nom.
Coleslaw makes anything delicious. It's more of a condiment than a dish imho...
Agreed. I wouldn’t eat it alone tbh.
It’s best in a hotdog
or a pulled-pork sandwich...
Redneck lettuce wrap. Sounds good
That’s not weird at all lol
Peanut butter and thick-sliced raw onion slices on whole wheat bread.
Soy sauce on vanilla ice cream.
Salami and apricot jam.
Hawaiian pizza with black and green olives.
I love PB and (sweet) onion sandwiches, but I like them best on a plain bagel. I mostly eat them when the walla walla onions are in season.
Will second soy sauce on ice cream. I learned this at a Chinese buffet that had a soft serve machine and absolutely no dessert toppings.
As a kid I made a PB, banana, mayo, and potato chip sandwich pretty often. I fucking loved it. As an adult I'd never eat that, but occasionally I *crave* it.
Hold the mayo, and swap the potato chips for granola, and I can chop firewood all day long on one or two of those.
I don’t know about the mayo component, but I’m on board otherwise.
I put mustard on 50% of all my food.
Chocolate cake w mustard.
Ya, I know.
Yellow or brown mustard?
¿Porqué no los dos?
Yellow!
Not mine but my dads: His favorite snack is cold hot dogs dipped in peanut butter. I was 10 before I convinced him to stop dipping in the communal jar of PB.
I don't like it but its also not as bad as you'd think.
I might let this one slide if not for the dipping, if He dips in the jar it's a crime.

Cheese with jam
We put chilli jam on our cheese & crackers, especially good combo is: cracker+cheese+slice cabanossi/salami/etc+slice of gerkin+chilli jam dollop.
Cottage cheese, apple sauce and pickled red cabbage. Or sub out the cabbage for pickled beets.
I have my reasons.
Cottage cheese and apple butter is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch (I believe) combination. It works really well well together. Anyway the more intense flavor of the apple butter over sauce, probably does the same as your pickled whatever
Oh I would probably love it
Unsweetened cold brew coffee, fresh orange juice, and sparkling mineral water. It sounds most foul but tastes so good, sparkling smokey orange.
Oh it's the Orange Joe.
What ratio? I'm curious to try this.
About 1:1:2, coffee, juice, sparkling water. I really like it a lot. Has to be fresh orange juice.\
Some fast food place, I don't remember which, used to serve orange juice mixed with hot & bitter spices. That was really good.
Doritos and chocolate milk.\
Don't ask me why or what it reminds me of, but the nostalgia portion of my brain goes haywire with that combo (maybe a good memory that's locked away with some bad ones? I dunno).
Same, but flamin hot cheetos.
My childhood nostalgia food is pasta with a bit of butter, powdered sugar and cocoa…
Bread and fries
Popcorn and orange juice
The Chip Butty is a British classic, but I don't know popcorn and oj. What's the appeal, just a refreshing drink to sip with popcorn? Or is this some crazy oj cereal type thing?
Im not sure why, but I think the buttery taste makes the citrus in the oj incredibly sharp. This might just be a "me" thing. I do it religiously even if it gives me stomachaches.
Any type of fried tofu has a unique texture when cold that I really love. So cold fried tofu.
inarizushi my beloved
I could see this. I honestly think chicken wings are better cold too
Eating a banana while drinking coffee. Perfectly complimentary flavors.
Does that balance each other out in terms of intestinal flow?
The coffee certainly makes me need to poop!
I love chocolate-covered banana chips and coffee as an afternoon snack.
Watermelon and bacon
That's reminiscent of the Prosciutto e Melone that my Italian wife has taught me to enjoy!
Applesauce and white bread. Potato chips and ketchup.
Get you some all dressed chips and blow your mind!
Weird Al came up with the Twinkie Weiner Dog, which is a hot dog with a Twinkie as the bun topped with spray cheese. It's surprisingly good.
Liverwurst and pickles on cinnamon raisin bread. The salt and savory work with the sweet bread IMO. Gotta use the good liverwurst though. It's so goddamn hard to find these days. Kahn's.
Before lactose intolerance set in, BBQ-flavored potato chips dipped in cottage cheese. Also Doritos dipped in cottage cheese. Absolute fire.
I think you may just like cottage cheese
I do, but I need something with a different texture to go with it, otherwise it's too slimy and gross. I'd never eat just cottage cheese straight up.
Absolutely love any corn chips with cottage cheese!
Mac and Cheese with Gojuchang hot sauce.
Gochujang is my new favorite hot sauce, I've been putting it on everything. I've also made Gochujang caramel sugar cookies, which are fricken amazing.
I’ll have to try that sometime, but Mac and cheese goes great with each type of hot sauce I’ve tried so far
Ok I’ve done something similar to this and it actually goes crazy. 10/10, would recommend
I throw diced Hatch chilis and in mac and cheese
Saltines crackers with whipped cream
Wait, did you grow up in my trailer park?
no 😂
How about saltines with butter? My wife introduced me to that white trash treasure.
I don't believe I've tried that combination, but I'd imagine it'll be a bit too rich for me. I assume you at least use unsalted butter?
Not where I come from.
Are you from Texas? There was a restaurant chain there back in the day that served a pie very similar that consisted of a crisp whipped cream meringue(?) mixed with crumbled saltines. It was absolutely divine, I found the recipe a few years ago but I failed to make the pie of my rememories.
I am, actually, but I grew up mostly in England, where I first had it. I can't remember who first introduced it to my siblings and I.
It looks like most of the strange combos in the thread are variations on the theme of sweet + savoury. Lives up to the premise - that's weird and bad and wrong.
Applesauce and sausage gravy.
It shouldn't be a surprise since pork pairs so well with sweet foods, but it's as essential to biscuits and gravy as hot-sauce.
Little chocolate chip cookies as a cracker for hummus. The sweet biscuit texture with the cool, tangy lemon and garlic hummus is amazing. But sadly, most people are not ready for such truths.
Macaroni and tuna, but you have to use the liquid cheese kind, not the powdered abortion.
Cool ranch Doritos and sour cream, saw this mentioned before and had to try it. Worth every penny.
I am actually about to head out and get some smoked salmon and Västerbottenost, that is a very good combo.
Current dinner plans are "Stoy's Special Swedish Wrap":
You need:
Start by placing smoked salmon on the Tunnbröd, sprinkle Västerbottenost over it, squeeze some lime over it, put two leaves of lettuce on the samlon, take two thin slices of tomato on top of the lettuce, add thin slices of cuecumber, roll it all up, enjoy!
I feel like I'm listening to one of Rose's St Olaf stories.
Is that you, Edward Blom?
Nope
Peanut butter is a big one for a lot of weird combos, goes well with burgs, fruit, cereal, etc, hummus is a good substitute too
Mustard has some weird ones eggs, mayo, salty stuff like chips and pretzels
Waldorf salad is basically fruit, mayo, and nuts it was popular enough you can still find it some places
Is Burg a hamburger? I've had peanut butter on a burger one time from...devil dawgs I think. It was really really good.
My mom used to make Waldorf salad. I hated it. Might like it now though
Yeah hamburgers with a little pb on top is great, hummus works good too
Yellow mustard is great with popcorn
Chocolate bar dipped in nacho cheese.
Peanut butter + chocolate ice cream
Okay so far these are the only really weird ones. The thought of ketchup and maple syrup gave me an involuntary shudder and I have eaten Tarantula.
Ketchup and peanut butter
Coffee after ive eaten a very spicy but still tolerable dish/hotsauce.
Tried using cayenne when making coffee but isnt quite the same. Might be the challenge flavour itself that i don't like as much
American cheese and grape jelly on an English muffin egg sandwich was* my shit when I was a tween\
*(it probably still is but now I'm hilariously lactose intolerant and developed an aversion to eggs)
Rockstar energy drink and a heath bar, for whatever reason they complement each other so well
I have a sugar free rockstar and chocolate a few mornings every week because of how weirdly good they compliment each other but I never really put thought into it being a weird combo hahaha, but you’re totally right!
PB and cheese sandwich, ideally with toasted bread. I don’t know why I love it so much. I swear it started as a hungry teen thing and not a weed munchie thing.
Cool ranch doritos + Chocolate.
Generally any sweet and savory combo does nothing for me, but as strange as this one is, I dig it. It's not bad.
An apple with peanut butter.
Tahini and Sriracha.
Best sauce for a burrito, but also great on salads.
Apparently mint and orange juice is a no go for a lot of people because of toothpaste and orange juice?
I like my mint chocolate cookies and orange juice though.
Sounds like the forbidden chewing gum and potato chip type of combo.
On a cracker, usually a Breton (made in Canada) I place a thin slice of aged cheddar then I top it with peanut butter a smear of mayo and a drop or two of hot sauce. I used to use Franks now I use Valentina (Mexican) Anyway it's amazing.
you just caused me to remember my sister making peanut butter and mayo sandwiches when we were kids. I had forgotten all about that. I did PB and pickles, but stopped short of the mayo...
Graham crackers and sharp cheese
Dried onion rings in sugar.\
When I have a cough I make onion syrup by laying a sliced onion on a platter, covering it in copious amounts of sugar and then collecting the resulting liquid.\
One time, after collecting the liquid, I forgot about it. A couple days later it had hardened and completely dried up. It was like candies!
Interesting! My family did daikon radish cubes in honey as cough syrup when I was a kid.
I've been told that it's strange, although it seems like an obvious combo to me:
Pan fried potatoes, mushroom, and onion. Served with tomato sauce to dip it in.
Whoever thought that was strange needs to get out more.
Yea this sounds like a normal ass hash mix to me. I personally hate mushrooms (wish I didn't), but its not weird to mix those together.
Peanut butter + Raw Carrots / Cucumbers / Apples / Bananas / Cottage Cheese / Pickles / Raisins / Raw Celery
Yes I absolutely love peanut butter and eat huge quantities of it.
PB and apples is pretty common and one of about 2 ways I actually like peanut butter. It’s that and PBJs
In-n-out french frys dipped in their vanilla shake. I got my kids to love it too. My wife still thinks I'm crazy.
Maybe not that strange, but I love natural peanut butter and locust honey on whole grain pancakes. I also love an ice cream float made with Sprite and chocolate ice cream.
Roasted corn with mashed potatoes
Peanut butter and spinach sandwich. Not too much spinach though
Toasted bread with peanut butter, bacon and a thick slice of raw onion. Mmmm...
Chocolate brownies and white bread
Elaborate, please! You mean, like a brownie sandwich?
Nope. Somehow I just crave a piece of white bread after eating a brownie and then maybe repeating the process. I have no rational explanation for this.
