As it turns out, weird food combos aren't just for pregnant ladies, you can eat them anytime and they are quite popular. Here are some weird but good food combinations that you may want to try the next time you're out.

Some of my weird eats:
Chili on pancakes.
Potato chips with mustard. (Wonderful on a picnic.)
Potato chips or saltines dipped in mayonnaise.
Lime or lemon wedge sprinkled with sugar, eaten peel and all while your brother says you’re weird.
Watermelon sprinkled with sugar (why are you playing around with salt, mom? if you want it sweeter this is how)
Equal parts chilled canned fruit cocktail in juice, and cottage cheese, mixed together with several packets of Nutra-Sweet. Diet ambrosia.
A good hard cheese (parm, romano, asiago) goes good when drizzled with honey and balsamic, maybe a spot or two of cinnamon nearby.
Now THAT is a beautiful picture!
This isn't really weird, but I love Lay's Wavy Potato Chips and Helluva Good Horseradish Bacon Dip.
It’s hard to think of a food that would not be made yet better with bacon!
You need to try Tabasco sauce on vanilla ice cream. for some reason it doesn’t work with chocolate ice cream.
One variation of the chili-on-pancakes theme
Melon and prosciutto is a classic, as is a burger, fries and milkshake (but no need for dipping!)
The chips sandwich and ranch dressing anywhere, let alone on pizza, are just gross. Foie gras on waffles? I could see that, ‘cept it’s really unpleasant for the goose.
An black culture combo in Chicago is gaining popularity. Fried chicken with waffles.
Not recommended.
Dumping a small pack of roasted, salted peanuts into a bottle of Coke or Dr. Pepper was a favorite oddity that I recall from childhood. Seems like everybody did it. Quite good. You don’t see it anymore because it doesn’t work in anything but the individual size glass bottles, which are not very easily found in most locations.
Sharp cheddar on certain sweets was common in my house, on apple pie, in those cream-filled soft oatmeal cookies, sometimes baked into the crust of fruit dishes, I think baking it in is a throwback to the early German settlers of the area.
Raw celery stalks work nicely with peculiar things, peanut butter, pimento cheese, cream cheese. Great snack on a hot day, very cooling.
Lightly sprinkling sugar and apple cider vinegar over sliced tomatoes can be surprisingly good and is apparently unusual.
French fries with mayo as a dip is good, not uncommon in other countries but odd here.
Beer and chocolate. No foolin.
Salami, Swiss, sliced apples, mustard & mayo. And maybe turkey.
Jagermeister is an “herbal digestif.” A glassful would be overdoing it, with or without the anise flavored Sambuca.
Dads seem to have the edge in this area. Mine loved peanut butter, mayo, and banana sandwiches.
