Weird food combination meme

[pegkerr]

Name 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?

Albacore tuna (from can packed in water, drained) and peanut butter on toasted white bread.

You top me, I think.

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.

Do you mix the tuna and PB together (in lieu of mayo) or are you spreading the PB on the bread and then putting tuna on top?

There is *nothing* weirder than vanilla ice cream and balsamic vinegar.

I like topping white rice with eggs fried sunny side up.

Well, I like pineapple and roasted red pepper on pizza. That's odd, sort of.

And french fries and milkshakes. That's REALLY good.

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.

"vanilla ice cream and a very good quality balsamic vinegar"

Will's 10-yr-old response:

"Geeeeh. People eat that? Is it like really *stinky* vinagar?"

And he's an ice cream guy, so he oughta know.

Cuts the grease,

My grandfather put grape jelly on eggs, but ew. *g*

I like cottage cheese and applesauce mixed together, with some cinnamin on top. yum!

Also, peanut butter and chocolate sauce on toast. It tastes odd, but good. :)

This is a fun meme! *g*

I do the latter - essentially making a peanut butter sandwich and placing chunks of tuna on one side, on the pb, before "closing" the sandwich.

I thought it would be yucky before I tried it for the first time. Definitely don't use any tuna in oil.

Hmmm.
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. :>

I'll second the McDonalds french fries and ice cream sundaes:D So good!
I also put rice in my soup. Any soup.

Grape jelly and cream cheese sandwiches. Though I haven't had one since I was 13 or so.

Oh, yes, that's excellent.

[boxofdelights]

Peanut butter and mustard sandwiches. Yum yum yum.

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.)

Fried chicken with wasabi and soy sauce sounds really yummy!

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

Husband likes to eat tortilla chips with cottage cheese. No salsa, nothing like that... just plain co-cheese.

And I think strawberries and balsamic vinegar are excellent. V. good on salad.

In high school a friend started a fad of eating french fries dipped in hot fudge.

[cat-mom.livejournal.com]

For as long as I can remember, I have loved peanut butter on my BLT sandwiches. Mayo on one slice of bread, peanut butter on the other. Really good.

I adore cottage cheese mixed with anything sweet: applesauce, chocolate sauce, honey, maple syrup, or just plain sugar. And peanut butter and chocolate sauce on toast is fabulous!

Re:

[mark356.livejournal.com]

So do I!

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?

Salted French fries??

Re:

[irielle.livejournal.com]

Yes -- hot, salted french fries.

There's a little restaurant on Main Street in Madison, NJ called The Garlic Rose Cafe. Everything in the restaurant has garlic in it. It is not the place for the shy of stomach or sensitive of breath to go. Here I first had garlic ice cream - homemade vanilla ice cream with minced roasted garlic bits in it. Creamy and oh so delicious, even though everyone else at the table didn't believe me. Heck, I didn't believe me when I ordered it.

We used to go to Wendys and dip our salted fries in our frostys.
