Good (if unusual) Food Combinations
Pecan shortbread cookies dipped in raspberry yoghurt.
Puff Cheetos dipped in vanilla ice cream.
Malteezers and movie butter popcorn chewed up together. Yum!
The Evil Ex liked sweet popcorn with nacho cheese on top.
I suggested he order his popcorn and then i his most winning win (and he did have one after all) asked if there was any chance he could have some cheese. I nwvwe haeard gime charged for it because the cinema staff were too weirded out.
Then again I learned the trick By saying, "O sorry, could I have some more jalapenos, I don't mind paying?" Because if you asked for a large portion from the start they charged you double and gave you standard.
Sadly all my food combis are standard. But if you've never tried bacon and Stilton you are in fot a treat.
Chocolate chip cookies with cream cheese
Salt on your cantaloupe
Peanut Butter on dill pickles
My go-to snack at 2:30 has always been almonds and candied ginger. I get the protein + the sugar craving. Tides me over till dinner around 7:30pm.
Puff Cheetos dipped in vanilla ice cream.
!!!!
half credit for the "unusual" aspect. ergh!
Stoner friend of mine in college swore by Cap'n Crunch cereal dipped in brie cheese. We all thought he was completely nuts, but once at a party we were all drunk and he brought it out and there was no choice but to try it.
I'm here to tell you, I wasn't actually that drunk, and it was damn good. Had it a couple of times since.
I think most of these combos are riffs on the salty/savory + sweet pairing that makes a chocolate covered pretzel or dipping your French fries in your frosty so delicious.
I was just about to add "french fries dipped in fruit yoghurt". But I rarely salt the fries.

Peanut butter in vanilla ice cream. Yeah, yeah, I know...
Popdigr loves jelly/jam/preserves on saltine crackers.
People look at me funny when I tell them I put raisins in my grits, or, occasionally, mustard on my fries.
Peanut butter and sweet pickles, between one or two slices of bread.
Cream cheese and grape jelly omelet.
Oh baby.
Aden likes to dip chicken in fruit yoghurt. Seems kind of gross to me, but he loves it.
When I was little, one of my favourite food combos was toasted banana(nananana) sandwiches with a mug of hot vimto. I'd dip the 'nana(nananana) sarnies into the hot vimto. Mmmmm.
Chocolate chip cookies with cream cheese
Cream cheese on Oreos is one of my favs
Peanut butter on Balogna
Cream cheese spread on Lebanon Bologna, wrapped around a sweet gherkin pickle.
Pecan Shortbread Cookies so good. I loved them with regular flour, rolled in powdered sugar when done cooling. Made for a light glaze and extra yummy. Since my Celiac's diagnosis, I make them with Pamela's Bread Mix & Flour Blend. Only item I have found to replace flour 1 for 1.
Go to Smokey Bones Bar and Fire Grill.
Order a draft beer.
Order a Hot Bag O' Donuts.
Enjoy the unexpected taste of heaven.
I keep meaning to try the deep-fried, bacon-wrapped, hard-boiled egg...but, I'm afraid it will explode in the fryer.
Discovered this combo last night: Pringles chips and raisins. :yum:
We sell black pudding Scotch Eggs; instead of sausagemeat, a thin layer of black pudding is applied to the egg.
We also sell fig & apple topped pork pies. Now I'm no pork pie fan, but these are yummy.
Part of my health kick is not eating any of the official wastage. For example we "face off" the ham & pate every morning & it is all discarded (and the pate containers washed.) All weighed as wastage, all discarded.
So I had been in the habit of sneaking a few tasters. Well you have to be confident when talking to the customers - it's that kind of place!
Thing is, I know the ones I like especially now, so have snacked on face-offs 4 out of 5 days a week. Naughty. No more. And no more "Display Until" pastry that was missed the night beforewhich is also weighed then disacrded. Growly belly.
Current faves it's hard to stay away from are not massively unusual, but not in every corner shop - Dry Cured Ham With Molasses and Scrumpy Cider and also Wensleydale with Fig & Orange Blossom Honey. I'm not a huge fan of flavoured cheese, but this one is good. And crumbly. And easy to pop into mouths.
A lot of those sound really good. I'd love to try the pork pie and the dry cured ham with molasses.
OK, I don't know how to remove that thumbs down sign.
I didn't click on that! I don't know why it's there.
Edit: Obviously, I figured it out. Because it's gone.
C'mon over to my place
Hey you!
I'll make you a deli plate...
Well, it can't be good, it just can't be, but, damn if it ain't unusual:

Well, it's not the most completely ridiculous thing I've ever seen... Gummy bears are just gelatin, dye, and sugar, gelatin being derived from meat bones in the first place and sugar being a common sausage additive. When you cook them the gelatin will melt and infuse the sugar into the rest of the sausage, leaving only the fucked-up colors to prove they weren't regular sausages to begin with.
I just made cherry juice gummies today, I'm half-tempted to try it. But I bet 90% of it just drips right out.
I just made cherry juice gummies today.
I want one. How do you make them?
2/3 cup juice
1/4 cup honey
Mix and bring to a boil in a small pot. Meanwhile...
2/3 cup juice
8 packets Knox gelatin
In a wide bowl, combine all the gelatin with cold juice and mix thoroughly with a fork until you have an evenly textured blob of gray-purple goo.
Pour boiling juice/honey mixture into juice/gelatin mixture, and stir until completely dissolved. Using a small syringe (like the kind you give medicine to kids with) squirt the liquid into silicone candy or gummy molds. I use a total of 6 gummy trays that fill a large baking sheet.
Move the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, then pop the gummies right out and store them in a Tupperware in the fridge.
But I bet 90% of it just drips right out.
That's where I went. I bet the skillet wonders what it did wrong to get punished so.
Peanut butter and sweet pickles, between one or two slices of bread.
Add a slice of cheddar or American cheeses.
Mine usually takes the form of sweet pickle relish spread into the sandwich. Grilled until the cheese melts and the PB runs a bit. Try chunkstyle peanut butter for a more robust texture -- fun. Let cool a bit before you bite it, though; the PB is retentive of its heat.
Watermelon just too... watery and insipid? Try squirting it with lots of lime juice and a generous sprinkle of powdered hot red pepper. DIY types might experiement with mixing cayenne with paprika until they hit the right proportions. Maybe a flavoring of powdered tamarind as well.
This is not at all unusual in Mexico, and the mixture may include salt but doesn't have to. It might be a little exotic in more northern climes.
Good on about any sort of melon, really.
I love watermelon, and have been known to eat way too much of it given half a chance. But the other day I had a "watermelon smoothie," was was nothing but de-seeded watermelon put straight into the blender with nothing else added. And it tasted horrible. I had some of the source watermelon later, and it was fine. There was just something about the change in texture that completely ruined it.

I usually take a fresh chili pepper, sprinkle with salt then take a pestle to crush them together. Taste great with any fruits that are lacking a bit sweetness or just because, hehe. Thinking of buying those tamarind powder flavor packets. Plentiful down in the south.
This week I made quick pickled jalapenos. They are. fucking. awesome.
3 sliced jalapenos
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
Mix in a mason jar and let soak in the fridge for 1-5 days, shaking periodically.
So far I have eaten them alone, wrapped in little pieces of prosciutto, and on a hot dog. Probably going to try them on a pizza sometime later this week. They will be a permanent resident of my refrigerator from now on.
Are the jalapeños seeded and veined?
Nope, just sliced into little rings. You can kind of shake most of the seeds out that way, though. They're pretty damn hot on their own, but with a little something else in the same bite it takes the edge off nicely.
I will have to make some,and keep them in my fridge also. Thanks Clodfobble.
I'm not sure how unusual it is, but, I'm discovering the happiness that is strawberries in ginger ale.
About half the strawberries float.
Strawberries in gin and tonic is pretty good, too!
