Title: What is the weirdest food combination you have loved?
Post by: Amy :-) on October 12, 2012, 07:48:15 am
I love the concept of flavours and how they work together. There have been a few discussions on other threads about weird flavour combinations, but I was wondering if we could all share our favourites on here :)

I'll start with the weirdest one I have ever loved, bearing in mind that this is when I used to eat junk food: hot chips dipped in a spearmint milkshake ;D

What other good ones are out there? :-))

Vegemite and salt and vinegar chips on really fresh bread, mmm absolutely delicious xx
My DS likes to dip his chips in caramel sundae  :-))

I'm thinking about mine, but my DH has always said he loves potatoes and custard (although, after 35 years married to him I have yet to see him eating this!).

I don't think mine is really weird but some do. It is cheese and jam sandwiches or a nice cheddar slice on top of Christmas cake.

I went to our neighbors for dinner and she served up fresh crusty white bread topped with strawberry jam, a slice of Camembert and a slice of pickle. I ate one, initially just to be polite, but it worked in a weird way!

Oh, it was just a nibble, not the actual dinner :D

A friend introduced my son to Vegemite on hot cross buns. I like Vegemite on toast with an egg on top, or on a sandwich with lettuce. I think it's weird to put it on something sweet.

Post by: Deniser on October 12, 2012, 12:30:47 pm
I agree EmeraldSue. My friend loves Vegemite on raisin toast   - I tried it and could not eat it.

A big pile of steamed vegies, roughly mashed, with a good dollop of butter and Vegemite mixed through so it melts..... :)

Have you tried it yet Amy?  ;)
Title: Re: What is the weirdest food combination you have loved?
Post by: kt2 on October 12, 2012, 12:39:49 pm
Oooo, I just remembered another one but this one was purely a pregnancy craving - instead of a good BLT (bacon,lettuce,tomato) sandwich I craved I guess what you would call a BLS sandwich (bacon, lettuce, strawberries!)  :-))
I haven't had it since!  :P

I love tomato and peanut paste sandwiches. Also, really rich fruit cake with cheese - apparently an English thing.

DS also likes toast spread with peanut butter, topped with a slice of cheese and then microwaved until the cheese melts.

My DS surprised me again with his food choices.. He deemed the pork, vegetable and noodle dish I cooked for dinner inedible, and after eating the required number of spoonfuls, DH offered to make him one piece of toast. He requested ( and enjoyed) toast with peanut butter, topped with kabana and cheese, and microwaved until the cheese melted. ???

A treat when we were kids was a specialty of my dad, on the few occasions when there were potato chips in the house. He would mAke us a sandwich with cheese and chips - generally plain chips, but sometimes chicken flavoured chips.
I also have memories of tuck shop days when we would order a plain roll and a packet of cheese (or. Chicken) twisties. We would eat out the soft bread filling and then stuff the cavity with twisties. Then we would devour the twistie filled roll.  Not sure I could eat one now.

DH's fav toasted sanger : fresh chicken, cheese, tomato, mayo and salt n peppar
My fav pregnancy combo (when I was pg) tinned baby beetroot, tinned tuna (the one with mayo and seeded mayo), gherkins and pickled onions........ looked weird but was what I needed.

Vegemite seems to be a common theme....

I love Nigella's Vegemite pasta...at first I thought it was weird but then upon reading her intro to the recipe, if you think of the Vegemite as a kind of salty stock paste it seems more palatable.....sprinkled it parmesn it is delicious!

I also love sweet and salty combinations.....Twisties followed by Crunchie bars are yum!
That reminds me of another Nigella recipe, sweet and salty crunchy nut bars where she uses salted peanuts and crunchie bars mixed with melted chocolate...it's one that people love or hate!

Chips in sandwiches or rolls seem to be quite normal for most people! ;D

All I can think is how much carbohydrate would be in them... :-))
