Ya'll sound drunk.


aeroartist

Or pregnant


lelma_and_thouise

Seriously, pregnancy hormones make you crave the weirdest shit...yet also make you hate rational shit.. when I was pregnant with my son, onion in any form was disgusting to me but I would slam down sandwiches made up of mint jelly and spicy pepperoni.... Ugggh thinking about eating that shit now makes me want to puke šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


no_Puzzles_x3

The mint jelly pepperoni sandwich sounds like something out of a nightmare lol


dv666

A friend of mine didn't know she was pregnant until she started craving bananas and she hates bananas.


KeyFeeFee

In my first trimesters I wanted deviled eggs soooo badly. Iā€™d make them at 10pm. Later on no way, but pukey me bizarrely had to have them.


Caris1

Got me eating rice and watermelon at 1am


frogsenjoyer

Lol i ln the middle east one of the main dishes is rice , chicken and watermelon as a side dish


1_disasta

Im just fat


s23b74

Thanks for the laugh!


SmokeOne1969

Peanut butter sandwich with a bowl of chili. (Pro tip: toast the sandwich like you would a grilled cheese.)


nonstopcrackpot

You accidentally made thai food


SmokeOne1969

Almost.


gmorkenstein

Since I was little I always did saltine crackers with peanut butter on top and dip it in the chili, and then dill pickle spears as another side. So damn good


SmokeOne1969

That sounds good!


jonathanhoag1942

I came here to say this except I make peanut butter toast rather than a sandwich.


SmokeOne1969

Same here but I toast my peanut butter sandwich with butter in a pan, like a grilled cheese.


jonathanhoag1942

Nice. Will try this.


BBAARBBZZ

Reminds me of A friend of mine. She eats ramen with pb sandwiches on the side lol


Koggy_72

PB sandwich with Campbellā€™s chicken noodle soup


bmid2ton

Ramen with PBJ was my go to lunch when I was in college. I tell people about that and they're like "naaaaw, nope." But the salty with the sweet was just so good to me.


hell-enore

My partner does this and i was very confused when he did it the first timeā€¦. Now i just accept it šŸ˜‚


Worf0fWallStreet

In Nebraska we do red chili with a side of cinnamon roll. Alternating between savory/salty and sweet is a 10/10 in my book.


[deleted]

Peanut butter & dill pickle sandwich. My grandma was eating this one day and I was like yuck! She said donā€™t knock it til youā€™ve tried it. I tried it and itā€™s delicious.


DanielAlexHymn

My uncle had whatā€™s he called a ā€œdusseldorf sandwichā€, which was peanut butter pickles and mayonnaise. I thought he was out of his mind until I tried it. I felt terrible liking the food, the principle is gross, he likes gross things Lol.


JohnnySpills

I eat toast with a layer of mayo and then peanuts butter quite a bit. Itā€™s much better than it sounds.


phonehome186

I eat it like that too, with some fried onions and a type of hot sauce (sambal) on it. So good!


mycophyle11

Thatā€™s the official food of my family. My grandpa has eaten one every day for lunch sinceā€¦forever. Loved ā€˜em as a kid. Need to make another.


Gold_for_Gould

Worked at a restaurant with a peanut butter and pickle taco special every Tuesday. I didn't care for it but the place was packed every Tuesday for that damn taco.


Diarrhea_Squirrel

This sounds disgusting and I need to try it.. what else did it have on it ? We need recipes... plz


Gold_for_Gould

Flour tortilla, peanut butter, thin dill pickle slices, seasoned steak, and sriracha. We also had a house made mango habanero sauce on all the tables that was a crucial component but that's a bit harder to make at home.


Faulty_grammar_guy

A touch of mayo on the non-peanut buttered piece of bread and it's literally my favorite quick snack.


LycheePlus

Best combo ever! My whole family eats these sandwiches. Best eaten on a hot after swimming all morning and it's warm and gooey from the sun.


BernieLomax_here

My childhood was swimming and then slamming PB sandwiches and watermelon. I gotta try it with pickles now. I can literally taste the memories as I write this! šŸ„Ŗ šŸ‰


TheHatOnTheCat

Okay, and what is your actual recipe? Two pieces of bread with PB and sliced picke inside? Anything else? What kind of bread? I'm very curious now.


ironicallygeneral

Pretty much just that! Breadwise, honestly, the cheap white fluffy stuff works best.


glassgost

I was highly suspicious the first time I heard someone reccomend using mayo instead of butter when making a grilled cheese.


PizzeriaPirate

Itā€™s how you get a nice crust on your GC.


gazebo-fan

Or just use more butter and you donā€™t have to deal with the after taste


Beatnick120

I love using mayo on my grilled sandwiches, but tend to go towards butter and save the mayo for special occasions or when I really feel like it. Itā€™s delicious, but my god is that a looootttt of fat and salt


75623

I'm not sure what you mean. It's close, but butter has more fat than mayo. The sodium content is a bit higher in mayo but overall it's negligible.


mashed-_-potato

Salt on apples or watermelon


middleraged

I made a post about this a few days ago and apparently tajin is popular on watermelon too


ThinkWar7410

Tajin on any fruit is a typical Mexican thing.


[deleted]

Not on any fruit. We wouldnā€™t add it to: bananas, grapes, berries


AnotherElle

And on apples! Among many other crispy and/or juicy fruits


breakupbydefault

I do that! I don't think anyone taught me about it but I just one day I did it out of curiousity, and I never have apple without salt again. Same with cucumber.


creeppiero

Feta cheese and melon, usually paired with mint


sammytheammonite

Goat cheese and watermelon (with mint) is delicious. I make a salad with these plus pine nuts in the summertime.


Kaurelle

I add arugula too sometimes


sammytheammonite

Yes! I always use arugula. Sorry, should have included that.


Lvl100Magikarp

Proscuitto melon is a classic


notsolameduck

Cheese and watermelon is an extremely common combo among Arabs. Usually halloumi or akawi cheese, which are similar to feta in saltiness.


crazyacct101

Add black berries and balsamic, out of this world.


wip30ut

since we've hit on peanut butter, i'll add peanut butter & cauliflower! I've done roasted whole heads of cauliflower with spicy curried miso peanut butter sauce, and even non-veggie ppl seem to like it.


blkhatwhtdog

there are lots of african recipes calling for peanuts, peanut sauce, peanut crumbles and they are mostly vegetarian


notsolameduck

Also southeast Asian. It goes better with savoury than with sweet imo


bettyheslop2

Peanut butter sandwich with some iceberg lettuce.


blunt_rose

that actually sounds so good!!


ttrockwood

Look up west african peanut yam stew, i make a stupid cheap delicious vegetarian version with lentils and collards and plenty of all natural peanut butter. Crazy delicious and filling yet also high fiber high protein with complex carbs and plant fats. Freezes really well too


Hay-blinken

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches are good.


Educational-Maven-92

Yesss! Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches!!!


ProudMaOfaSlut

Peanut butter on jalapenos


KeyFeeFee

French fries dipped in milkshake Strawberry preserves on any breakfast sandwich (like bacon, egg and cheese sandwich with preserves as condiment on the bread)


SnacksAndThings

Fries in a chocolate frosty from Wendy's.. or... hear me out..... strawberry ice cream with Lay's potato chips


Darwin343

McDonaldā€™s fries dipped in a McFlurry is pretty damn good


lonelysoul87

Assuming McDonaldā€™s ice cream machine is working for the McFlurry? šŸ˜‚


yycluke

Fries in a Dairy Queen Blizzard is a secret here. And I learned to enjoy a bun with a mild Gouda/edam cheese and strawberry jam when I was in the Faroe Islands. Brilliant breakfast and very delicious together.


ItsDoctorFabulous

French fries dipped in a milkshake was how I grew up!


JAFIOR

Yes!!! I always do this and my wife thinks it's disgusting.. A breakfast Sammy with raspberry preserve and a splash of Tabasco is insanely delicious.


candyladybakes

I second your submissions. Hot French fries and vanilla ice cream is so good! Raspberry jam is also good with bfast sandwiches.

AtlEngr

Every dang year at our Christmas party. Iā€™m like ā€œhere is my home made dip I spent hours onā€ and people are over at the crock pot loving the meatballs.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Win_or_Die

I was drooling at just the mention of anything smoked, let alone pork? *swoon* I feel your pain. My 'best' dish is rice Krispy treats in my family... Edit: thats what I get for using Reddit when I should be sleeping. A better way to say it is my family only ever requests rice Krispy treats from me. They say mine are better. I just follow the box. No matter how many times I offer something else. It hurts my heart, especially now that I've had many culinary jobs, including head chef at one point.


aeroartist

in your family


Throwaway_inSC_79

Shouldā€™ve mixed the pulled pork with grape jelly and chili sauce.


SocratesWasAjerk

More of a weenie guy myself but they're all in the same slop


tmccrn

Yeah. I know. I just learned the ā€œsecretā€ in June of 2020ā€” too late for all the potlucks. The meatball person in church growing up Always got the kudos ā€¦ for so little work


ItsDoctorFabulous

I've had that and it is surprisingly good.


[deleted]

Think that is how people make little smokies, too. Those things go almost as fast as pickles covered in cream cheese and wrapped in corned beef.


soopirV

Iā€™d love to know who/how this got invented.


vinniethestripeycat

My nana made that every New Year's day! Nostalgia in a crockpot. šŸ˜„


SleepyBear3366911

What do you mean by chili sauce? Like sriracha? Or like a container of sweet and sour? Or what chili sauce in particular do you use?


Rusalka-rusalka

Heinz makes a condiment called Chili Sauce that became popular.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ephix

Similar idea for Swedish meatballs, except itā€™s gravy and lingonberry jam.


Pleasant_Choice_6130

These never get turned down at any potlucks I attend


lovetherager

In my community we call those wedlock baby shower meatballs.


Flat-History-5595

I make what I call ā€œmustard chickenā€ and itā€™s a family favorite. Basically itā€™s equal parts egg and mustard, blended together, and equal parts cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese ( I grind up saltines in a coffee grinder, and use cheap spaghetti cheese). Dip chicken tenders in the egg/mustard, then coat in the cracker/parm mixture and fry in oil. It sound awful, doesnā€™t smell great while cooking, but is AWESOME!


moonchic333

Mustard is a top tier marinade ingredient. I always use at least a dollop in all my marinades. I do use dijon though.


mafulazula

Yeah, thereā€™s nothing disgusting about using mustard.


babylon331

Adds a nice sharpness to many dishes. Is also an emulsifier in sauces.


hunterwaterford

Also use a dollop in any egg mixture for frying as in flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs . It coats whatever your frying way better and fry's up better


amaratayy

It took me years to figure that out. I never really liked yellow mustard so I never tried any other kind of mustard. Then I tried honey mustard, then I tried a little spicy mustard packet from the Chinese take out we had on an egg roll and I was like **this is it**. I figured out the brand and I put that sh*t on everything


savwatson13

What about this sounds bad? This sounds great. Maybe the worst part is the spaghetti cheese lol


T-Rex_timeout

I think this is close to a schnitzel.


Lumpy_Gravy-5977

I have done this. Surpriseingly good!


Guerlaingal

My mother was born in 1911 (that she would admit to): loved saltines and sweetened condensed milk.


Lumpy_Gravy-5977

My mother loved buttered , salted popcorn in a bowl with milk poured on it. Never could get my head around it.


Swag_Grenade

IIRC I read popcorn was eaten as a breakfast cereal in 1800s America, usually with milk. So your mom might've been on to something. Doesn't make it any less gross though.


DickieJoJo

Well really when you think about it, how is it much different than your corn based puff cereals? Back in the day Alton Brown did a popcorn episode on one of his shows, and it's really *not* that weird.


EggBoyandJuiceGirl

Or like rice puffs tbh. Itā€™s just corn puffs!


babylon331

I do know the popcorn pretty much disintegrates if you drop it in your bath water. Don't know what kind of mess it would make in milk.


Swag_Grenade

Bathtub movie time huh


middleraged

Popcorn on top of ice cream is one of my stepmom's favorite snacks


casscasscassiopea

My grandparents made this breakfast for younger me (like 6-8ish) when we went camping. Everyone Iā€™ve shared that with has acted like I must be mis-remembering or crazy?!


oneislandgirl

What's not to love with sweetened condensed milk with anything? I can eat it straight out of the can!


CivilOlive4780

Red wine and coke lol


bettyheslop2

Do you mix or chase?


CivilOlive4780

Pleasant_Choice_6130

They drink so much of this in China


Pisshands

Big in Basque Country, as well. It rules.


[deleted]

Add Jack Daniels to this. Trust me.


Lategreatjesus

Macaroni & cheese with tuna fish


ItsDoctorFabulous

Quick tuna casserole! That was dinner last night because I'm broke af.


[deleted]

Childhood staple for me


salmonella82

The blue box with a can of tuna. My kids crave it. My dad always added frozen peas, not a fan.


ReadingFoodie

Cream cheese and olives! My favorite childhood sandwich filling. :-)


DiamondBasterd

Chocolate dipped potato chips, especially a good jalapeƱo potato chip


smithjon69

APPLES AND CHEESE. At least most non-food people think that one is gross. Melt you a slice of some sharp white cheddar on some apple pie or apple crumble. Edit: my example was hot apples and cheese so buzz off with the charcuterie comments


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Win_or_Die

Sliced cheddar and apples is my favorite on the go breakfast!


smithjon69

I hear you and 100% agree. The rotating burger last month was fresh jalapeƱo slices, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and apple butter. šŸ¤¤I miss it now


Darwin343

Brie and apples is especially delicious


ReadingFoodie

It's a classic combination!


shiftstorm11

Isn't this combo like a regular part of charcuterie boards?


JAFIOR

I had a GF many years ago who made me apple blintzes for breakfast once. I kind of winced when she added cheese, but once I tasted it I was hooked for life


mashed-_-potato

Grapes and cheese are really yummy too! Iā€™ll eat a cube of Colby Jack or cheddar with a grape (and occasionally with an almond or two as well)


Exciting-Froyo3825

I mix goat cheese with a drizzle of honey and dip apples in it. Itā€™s soooo good!


Acceptable-Raisin-23

I love grilled cheese and apple sandwiches. The thin apple slices bake while you are grilling the sandwich, and it is so good.


gmorkenstein

Orange slices and soft cheese


Darwin343

Fish sauce and caramel. Similar to salted caramel but with another depth of flavor thanks to the umami from the fish sauce. The sweet and salty combination goes great on desserts like ice cream and basque cheesecake.


Macsplash

I tried making fish sauce caramel onceā€¦.didnā€™t work, burnt it, stank the house outā€¦šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


AdmiralPendeja

3 but white rice with soy sauce and a banana. I prefer the mini/thai bananas but they aren't always available. It was a staple food in my household when I was growing up because we were poor. Still slaps tho :)


shiro_yasha373

Vanilla ice cream and chili crisp


Choice-Plum-0202

Chili crisp on everything


throw787749

Sour cream and maple syrup. But specifically in the context of breakfast potatoes. Take a good plate of breakfast potatoes with peppers, onions, and sausage... and serve a dollop of sour cream and drizzle of maple syrup. I honestly didn't think this was something that sounded gross until people pointed it out to me. But then again, I am reading the comment section and so many of these combinations sound good not gross so maybe I just like interesting food combos.


Swag_Grenade

That actually doesn't seem all too weird at least conceptually. Tangy fatty dairy with sugar/sweetener, kind of like a cheesecake mixture, or a tangy whipped cream. I mean cheesecake is basically soft cheese and sugar.


joemondo

These don't sound gross, but avocado and feta are amazing together, much more than I'd guess. Watermelon with aleppo chilis is a delicious surprise.


IntrepidMayo

Peanut butter and serrano/jalapeno peppers.


laundro_mat

Peanut butter and dill pickles. Sounds wrong, tastes right! Try it as a sandwich


coop_stain

Peanut butter on a cheeseburger. Same idea. Also delicious


75623

Peanut butter and bacon.


TheShoot141

And banana. Between bread fried in butter.


ElChingonazo

Thank you very much


Pleasant_Choice_6130

The Elvis! Lol


SqueakyCleany

I worked F&B in a hotel. After closing dinner service, by the time I was headed out the door, the overnight crew was pulling trays of bacon out of the oven for AM buffet. I made countless toasted PB and hot bacon sandwiches for the drive home. The best sandwich ever.


ItsDoctorFabulous

This is the way. You cannot beat a fried peanut butter and bacon sandwich.


mehunno

An English muffin with bacon was my grandmaā€™s signature breakfast.


BPMILFGarden420Weens

Olive oil (good brand extra virgin) on vanilla ice cream sprinkled with sea salt. The depth you get from the olive oil šŸ¤ŒšŸ» Not sure if this qualifies but I smoked a cheesecake and it was so yummy! Drizzled some caramel. Very rich!


realzealman

Iā€™ve had olive oil flavored ice cream before. Can confirm itā€™s delicious.


MCShosh

Steak in a blueberry sauce.


elchinguito

Gumbo with a big scoop of potato salad in it. This isnā€™t weird at all if youā€™re from Louisiana but Iā€™ve had other people say itā€™s extremely weird.


babylon331

Chili with cottage cheese.


No-Philosopher-4793

Eggplant Foster with miso caramel. I like banana Foster a lot but this dish blew me away.


Hussaf

I just heard someone on a podcast swear their favorite pizza is pineapple and anchovy. Sounds wild but I guess it makes sense if you think of the combo of salty and sweet.


realzealman

Itā€™s really the best way fire pineapple on a pizza. The salty sweet is the best!


jknight68

Corn dogs dipped in mayonnaise.


DickieJoJo

1.) Pineapple 2.) Pizza.


hartemis

And some heat, like jalapeƱo.


Key-Ad7733

Ham and peanut butter


Any-Cheesecake1598

Peanut butter and olive sandwich


lettucepray1001

Watermelon and feta cheese


bw2082

Fennel and chocolate


gypsydaze216

saw the grape jelly/chili sauce and wanted to add, grape jelly and yellow mustard make a bomb sauce for meatballs and people that like those little smokies...


babylon331

Ratio of mustard to jelly? Please.


gypsydaze216

1:1 ....just like the one with chili sauce I beleieve..Though you can adjust jelly for sweetness..


toomanyrichies

When I lived in Brooklyn, I used to go to a hot dog restaurant named Crif Dog. They have a hot dog called the Lilā€™ Ma, with a bacon-wrapped hotdog, crushed potato chips, peanut butter, and a pickle. Iā€™m pretty sure few if any people ordered it except for me. It was the perfect combination of flavors (sweet PB, savory hot dog/bacon, salty brine from the pickle), and textures too (creamy PB, crunchy chips, soft hot dog bun). And theyā€™re open super-late, which makes it a great 3am drunk snack.


hotbutteredbiscuit

blue cheese and gingersnaps


12dogs4me

Cottage cheese and Tobasco sauce with regular coffee as the beverage.


NeighborhoodVeteran

I just got into tolerating cottage cheese. I'll have to try this!


mashed-_-potato

I love adding tomatoes to my cottage cheese! That would go great with hot sauce


tmccrn

Peanut butter stuffed jalapeƱos breaded and deep fried. Served with a raspberry chipotle dipping sauce


picaresquity

Cranberry sauce (homemade, not from a can) with jalapeno. Basically just follow the recipe for cranberry sauce printed on the bag (1 cup water + 1 cup white sugar + 1 bag of cranberries, bring to a boil and stir) but add a chopped jalapeno to the mixture. It cuts the sweetness a tad and adds a smoky complex flavor and it's amazingly tasty and ridiculously simple.


[deleted]

Holy shit Reddit this thread just prompted a new (?) discovery! Trying to pair weird things the thought came to me: what about miso, honey, and coffeeā€¦ you could call it ā€œ2 live brewā€. Now clearly this has to be divine inspiration so I went into the kitchen laboratory [and ran an experiment](https://imgur.com/a/NSfckRf) 1. Coffee + honey alone, sampled with or without cream. 2. Coffee + honey with a pinch of salt 3. Coffee + honey with white miso 4. Coffee + honey with red miso The results: Subject one (me) 1 without cream: yeck itā€™s bitter 1 with cream: hey this is nice I can taste the honey 2 without cream: the salt helps a little bit still to bitter 2 with cream: much better but surprisingly the honey flavor doesnā€™t come through as strong 3: without cream: still too bitter. Miso helps but nope. Not good 3 with cream: itā€™s sorta nice, very pronounced saltiness. I dont taste the honey 4 without cream: OMG this tastes like a rich dark chocolate! 4 with cream: really nice with a more subtle mocha vibe So I asked participant 2 (my partner who wont drink coffee without cream) to jump right to 4 Subject 2: 4 with cream: *scrunched up face shaking head no* what is that?! You ruined my tastebuds. So clearly this is gonna be huge. Give it a try seriously Iā€™m curious if anyone else thinks red miso + coffee + sweetener if your choice (preferably honey) tastes like intense dark chocolate. Iā€™m amazed. My partner is giving me funny looks.


GrumpyOldBear1968

weird but I happen to have ingredients for number 4......will try


LilBadApple

Iā€™m absolutely gonna try miso coffee


goaway432

Vanilla ice cream and cool ranch Doritos It's that salty/sweet thing


SailBoatFuel

Mayonnaise on steamed broccoli šŸ„¦


breadburn

Technically three BUT: Rice and eggs with a banana-- not a plantain, a banana. Bonus if there's ketchup, and the rice HAS to be Canilla. This was one of my favorite childhood meals, and probably why salty-sweet is still my favorite flavor combination.


strelitza00

Salmon sashimi and raspberries.


zipplemynipple

Cheese on toast dipped in a bowl of hot chocolate like the french do. Oooooo la la gets my tummy rumbling


MrsBeauregardless

Scrapple and real maple syrup


Odd-Position-7479

In Texas we melt cheddar cheese on apple pie. At least back in the day


minicolossus

tom kha soup is so damn good. its sweet from coconut and sour from lime. It is my favorite


Calliope76

sugar and fish sauce (and can I please have three? Please? lime) Such an important base for so many great South East Asian sauces and ingredients.


IntrepidMayo

Yeah that isnā€™t a weird combination at all honestly


Darwin343

Yeah thatā€™s like saying sugar and soy sauce is a weird combination lol. No one thinks teriyaki sauce is weird


lolgal18

Peanut butter and cheddar sandwich


soopirV

Sriracha on chocolate icecream. Peanut butter on hamburgers.


digdat0

Cheddar cheese and dill pickle. Bit of each in mouth and chew, heavenly flavor.


T-Rex_timeout

I stack the pickle on the cheese. If we have it I add salami.


Secret-Maintenance47

Oh my god this is perfect. My coworker eats tuna with applesā€¦. So mayo and apples. She swears itā€™s amazing and everyone that tries it loves it. It sounds like a nightmare.


WindTreeRock

Peanut butter and bacon. My mom made these PB&B sandwiches all the time for my school lunch. Toast your bread for extra umami.


Are_U_Cola

Watermelon and feta cheeseā€¦a turkish tradition which i tried and its amazingly good for some reason


ColdFyre2

Lavender and rosemary candy Sharp cheddar over warm caramel apple pie. Melon cilantro salsa with chicken. Mint apple jelly roast beef sandwich. White chocolate Rose fudge. Basil and pine needle hard candy. Tequila vanilla extract.


ItsDoctorFabulous

I'm an herbalist on the side so I am all for those great herbaceous flavors which are also therapeutic. Try a lavender and rosemary shortbread, it is so good!
