Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay Iโ€™m gonna have to try that. Grilled cheese with mustard and apple works pretty well. Dijon mustard if you can swing it

Nutella and orange marmalade on an English muffin

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

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 1 year ago

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

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

Man, this definitely fits the topic.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

It's delicious.

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

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.

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

Forgive the spelling but I think that's called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.

I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.

Orange slices and salt. ๐Ÿง‚๐ŸŠ

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

That actually makes sense if you like Phad Thai

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Vanilla ice-cream with either a slice of ripe mango or vanilla with a dash of lemon juice and salt.

Yum Yum!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

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

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 1 year 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

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

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the story of 'Fool's Gold Loaf'

"It consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_Gold_Loaf

As strange as this combination sounds ... I will attempt it one day

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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

Strawberries and black pepper.

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

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

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

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

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

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

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

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.

Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.

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

Not sure if it was a worldwide thing or only in my country, but there used to be a Coke/Coffee blend we had here. It sounds terrible but I absolutely loved it, they stopped carrying it a year or two ago though.

Ketchup-flavored pringles is also apparently not a common thing in other countries, but it is the best flavour.

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 1 year 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.
