Strange Food Combinations

I was sitting in the movie theatre eating popcorn and Milk Duds while watching the previews of upcoming attractions when my wife asked how I could combine two seemingly opposite food items. I told her that Milk Duds, when eaten simultaneously with popcorn, are very tasty. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

While waiting for the feature presentation I began to think of other strange food combinations that I have eaten through the years. Since childhood, I have dipped my potato chips into applesauce. Like Milk Duds and popcorn, the combination of the salt in the chips and sugar in the applesauce play well off of each other. I have always put ketchup on butter beans and now my children have now acquired a taste for their father’s strange legume-meets-tomato-condiment pairing.

I began to wonder what other people might eat in the way of strange food pairings, so I logged on to my Facebook page and posed the question: “What are the strange food combinations that you like to eat?”

I’ve had ketchup on cottage cheese. It’s delicious. Also potato chips on a sandwich. Crunchy and nice. Salt on canteloupe or Ice cream in the middle of a half of canteloupe... Mustard on pretzels. I can see the popcorn and milk duds together very easily. The salt and sweet DO compliment each other. Try salty pretzels whil eatice ice cream. Dipping the pretzel in the ice cream and scooping out is just delicious.

Oh share!! I had single food obsessions when I was pregnant. Strawberries. Fudge pops. Some days that’s all I could eat.

peanut butter and cheese sandwiches

Great with sharp cheddar. However, I prefer peanut butter and onion with mayo. However, for some reason my family doesn't talk to me for hours afterwords. I might get a phone call but in person conversations, never.

I grew up salting watermelon and sugaring tomatoes. Cream cheese and jam on crackers is also good.

I put Raisinettes in my popcorn and everyone I know looks at me like I am strange.

The description of sweet and salt is why I LOVE popcorn flavored jelly beans.

Beer and cornflakes was a surprisingly tasty discovery of a misspent youth.

Unsweetened cornflakes of course, and you need to pop the top of the beer and leave it in the fridge overnight to get rid of the fizz.

Combined with asprin makes a tolerable hangover pick-me-up.

Good grief! That’s’ almost as bad as putting sugar on grits (those Alabamans don’t know nuthin!) ;o)

Have had cottage cheese and pineapple.

Also peanuts into a coke but I think that is dangerous but...a lot of people do it. Better them than me. I would be nervous.

How about a saltine cracker...a nice hearty square of sharp cheddar cheese with a dollop of Karo on top? Thought it was strange too but...it is yummy!!! :) Good ole American ingenuity at work huh?

I always wondered who that joke was about, there where rumors, especially in my fraternity, but now I know..
