pegkerrName two foods which you have discovered go together, even though it wouldn't occur to anyone to combine them.
I have two:
cottage cheese and canned pumpkin. Throw in some almonds and cinnamon, and you have a delicious healthy snack.
The other one is even weirder: vanilla ice cream and a very good quality balsamic vinegar. No, really! A friend turned me on to this one, and I never would have believed it, but they really do taste good together.
How about you?

Date: 2004-02-14 11:22 am (UTC)Banana and Pringles. Other chips/crackers can do in a pinch, but, really, a broken piece of Pringle atop a bite of banana - yum. My father got me into that. My father is also to blame for my loving Rice Krispies on top of ice cream. Any ice cream will do, but it's especially nice on vanilla-fudge swirl.

My dad eats peanut butter, cheese, mayo, and bologna sandwiches. I have been known to enjoy a bite or two but a whole sandwich's worth makes me kind of sick to my stomach.

Date: 2004-02-14 12:03 pm (UTC)Also, peanut butter and chocolate sauce on toast. It tastes odd, but good. :)
This is a fun meme! *g*

Date: 2004-02-14 12:15 pm (UTC)My first thought was chocolate milkshakes and french fries.
What else... well, I'm a huge fan of dipping sauces. Anything and everything can be dipped. Like any or all of the sauces one gets at a Japanese steakhouse, especially if they have teriyaki or a nice ginger salad dressing... People look at me funny. :>

Date: 2004-02-14 12:51 pm (UTC)Also sardines on strawberry poptarts.
Before eating either of these, I call to my husband, "Last chance to kiss!" (until I brush my teeth again, I mean.)

Date: 2004-02-14 01:51 pm (UTC)And I think strawberries and balsamic vinegar are excellent. V. good on salad.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-14 02:28 pm (UTC)I keep seeing recipes that call for strawberries and balsamic vinegar, but strawberries that you see in the supermarket are hardly worth eating, and fresh, small, intensely flavored strawberries that I get from the local community-supported agriculture project are so few and so good that I am leery of putting much of anything with a strong flavor (or without flavor, for that matter) on them; I am so in love with strawberry shortcake that I can't imagine doing anything else with them. Is it really worth it?

Date: 2004-02-14 03:31 pm (UTC)And when I was younger, my father wouldn't just make fairy bread . . . he'd make fairy and goblin bread. Which was 100s and 1000s, with sultanas sprinkled over the bread too. But I never liked that.

Date: 2004-02-14 03:47 pm (UTC)I love cream cheese on pretzels. Yummmmmmm. And there's an interesting dessert with ricotta cheese and mocha powder with chocolate chips. Generally, cheese and sweet go well together.
And this surely must be common knowledge by now, but there's almost nothing better than pizza dipped in ranch dressing. Just in case you were afraid the pizza by itself wasn't bad enough for you on its own.
Then again, almost anything is better dipped in ranch dressing.

Date: 2004-02-14 04:24 pm (UTC)Also cheese-peanut butter crackers dipped in chocolate milkshake.

Date: 2004-02-14 05:01 pm (UTC)Me? I am a sucker for ketchup. Especially in macaroni and cheese. Also, with margarine on bread and hotdogs. Mustard on buttermilk toast is another one of my favorites.

Date: 2004-02-14 09:45 pm (UTC)With the icecream and balsamic vinegar, try adding some strawberries. They'd go great with both.
