Can be food, tools, music, whatever comes to mind
Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon
Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.
Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It’s almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!
Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It’s basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.
nah, that sounds good. you’re like halfway to a thai peanut sauce with that combo
Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.
Also peanut butter and pickles.
Allllso peanut butter and jelly.
Also peanut butter and stir-fried broccoli
We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It’s a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.
Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don’t have to share!
My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.
It’s delicious.
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.
Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.
Also coffee. It doesn’t make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn’t help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.
Mmm, salmiak… when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! 😋
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.
Forgive the spelling but I think that’s called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!
Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.
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.
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.
Lol! Oh man, that actually sounds awful.
Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.
Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.
Alcohol and power tools.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.
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.”

As strange as this combination sounds … I will attempt it one day
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
It was just strange to me when someone told me about it, and when I tell other people they think it’s strange too.
Cheese in pancakes with syrup.
