Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn't thought

Feta and watermelon

Cantelope and prosciutto

Anchovies in Ranch dressing (make it fresh, you animals)

Goldschlager and Cuervo Gold tequila as a shaken shot (tastes like snickerdoodles)

Pancakes topped with yogurt and honey or pistachio butter

Georgian pesto is walnuts and cilantro, 10/10

Peanut butter in a tomato stew sends it in an African direction, and it's amazing

Deep fried olives filled with cheese

Salmon marinated in bourbon, touch of soy sauce, and brown sugar, baked.

Anchovies and capers on your pizza if you wear big boy pants

Red wine and coca cola if you're 14

Candied pine cones and creme brulé is 1 million percent magic

Cheez-its and canned whipped cream tastes exactly like if you asked ChatGPT to describe what cheesecake tastes like.

Bread and everything else

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Maybe with a little Sriracha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Peanut butter and a slice of onion makes a way better sandwich than you would ever think too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

As does peanut butter and bacon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 50 minutes ago

Someone needs to make a peanut butter, dill pickle, onion, and bacon sandwich and let us know how it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Vanilla in savory foods

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Sriracha sauce and ice cream. Probably also works with any hot sauce that isn't just spicy vinegar.

Now I'm curious what ice cream and wasabi is like...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Salmon + roasted Brussels sprouts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

That seems like a very normal flavor combo to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I don't like Brussel sprouts. Not even after they have been selecting them for sweet not bitter over the last 30 years.

But... It is not really surprising that Salmon and roasted Brussel sprouts go good together. I mean this is not an uncommon pairing is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Alright if you know you know....

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream and Garden of Eatins Red Hot Blues tortilla chips.

You asked for surprising...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it's good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.

Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Wendy's French fries dipped in their frosty. It was at least a good combination twenty years ago ...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Maccies are advertising their fried dipped in their milkshake at the minute. I’d give it a go to be fair. But I don’t like Maccies.

Coffee and bananas

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Frank's Red Hot and bananas.

F. R. H. is not good in coffee.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

It's the vinegar that causes the problems, straight chili powder in coffee is nice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Bananas and cheese.

Mr. Rogers taught me that one

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

A fried egg on top of just about anything

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Jägermeister with milk. Or Batida de coco (with or without milk). Or with lemon juice and definitely no milk. (Don't judge me, it's legit good with milk)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Orzo (rice shaped pasta) and peanut butter, its ultra-dense camping food, never need to make more than a small bowl.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

My brother-in-law hiked the Appalachian Trail on a diet of peanut butter tortilla wraps

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Blue cheese and Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper brings out the sweetness of the cheese and the tanginess of the cheese complements the sour of the soda.

Dr Pepper is the blue cheese of soda, after all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Blue cheese and grapes is also a fantastic combination. Pretty sure this is well known in France.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Kimchi and sweet potato. It's pretty common in South Korea too.
