What's a food combination that goes surprisingly well together? (lemmy.world)

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

Milkshake with crispy bacon. You've got sweet, fatty, salty, crunchy, umami, creamy. So amazing. Blend or crumble a couple pieces into it but then have a whole piece or two stuck in it so you have bigger pieces to play around with. Has no business being as good as it is

In college we used to take a Ritz cracker, ez cheese, and top with a pizza roll. I haven't tried one in some years now but I remember it slapped at the time

Used to know someone who would pour a box of junior mints into popcorn at the theater. Shake it a couple times, let it sit just long enough to get a little melty, then go wild. Bonus points for adding enough buttery topping to soak through the bottom of the container

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

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As does peanut butter and bacon.

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 10 hours ago

Bread and everything else

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Garlic bread and sausage gravy.

Please just trust me and try it. It's actually really fucking good.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Salmon + roasted Brussels sprouts

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 hours ago

That seems like a very normal flavor combo to me.

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 2 points 12 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?

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 6 points 14 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.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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...

[–] OrionCx@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 12 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.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 hours ago

Vanilla in savory foods

[–] MelcherStreet@lemm.ee 8 points 17 hours ago

A fried egg on top of just about anything

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 14 points 20 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.

[–] fleet@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pineapples and pizza. Yeah I said it.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

So no joke, I talked shit about pineapple on pizza for years. Then, I can't remember why specifically, but we had someone over and asked what type of pizza she wanted, and she said Hawaiian. And there was some leftover. I grew up poor, and we do not waste food, so I decided it was worth trying it.

It was amazing. I immediately felt silly for being so against it.

My wife still refuses to try it on principle (she did grow up near NYC, so she has STRONG opinions on pizza).

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

I also grew up near NYC. Hawaiian is underrated and everyone should try it at least once.

I'm glad you had an open mind, and didn't waste food. (We also grew up unable to waste food)

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it's not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it's the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.

I've had New York pizza. It's mid. It's fine. It's ok. It's not the best pizza in the universe guys. It's convenient because there's no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Funny enough, she actually really likes Detroit Pizza. But yes, she thinks Chicago pizza is trash (I tend to agree, I hate the way chicago pizza is made... it's messy, has too much sauce, and requires a fork which, to me, defeats the point of the pizza).

And I lived in New Jersey for awhile, and the pizza there, with a few exceptions, was some of the best pizza I've had (and I'm not talking that wide flat greasy stuff you get at NY street corners, I'm talking the pizza made at the restaurants run by Italians that are about half Italian restaurant, half pizza joint).

Coffee and bananas

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Frank's Red Hot and bananas.

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

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Bananas and cheese.

Mr. Rogers taught me that one

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 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...

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] ndupont@lemmy.world 3 points 16 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)
