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. Dont knock it until youve 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 fathers 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?

Same here, except I make it with the sweet pickle slices. Try it that way sometime. Bet you'll like it better. I toast white bread, then put pats of butter on one side, Jiff on the other with the sweet pickle slices on top of the peanut butter. Learned it many years ago from my father. Really yummy!
I have an uncle who pours beer into a bowl of ice cream.
I have been reading the posts and I think you are correct. LOL When I was pregnant with my first child, for some reason I craved salty and sweet togehter. I had never and, BTW have never since, eaten a pork rind, but for some reason I was almost addicted then and ate them daily dunked in Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup.
People used to ask wouldn’t you rather have ice cream and pickles?
It’s not a “combination” but it’s strange enough—when I was in the Phillipines I tried this:

Does your child have red hair and fudge poop?
Since I was very young...Peanut butter and tuna fish salad. YUMMMMM.
And I know of no one else who eats it.
I love it!
grape jelly on grilled cheese.
My husband used to do tuna and grape jelly.
Them’s some good crunchin’ bones that there. Heh, heh.

I do almost the same thing, except I take white bread, put cold butter pats on one side, then put Jiff smooth peanut butter on the other side with Miracle Whip on top of that then add warm, moist crispy bacon on top of the Miracle Whip. Put it together, cut diagonally and eat. Pure gourmet heaven.
I put grape jelly in mine. I asked a waitress if she thought that was weird, she said,"Nope, she has two customers (mother and daughter) who come in, order pan cakes and put tar tar sauce on them".
I'll have to try one of those peanut butter and onion sandwiches!

Your wife shouldn’t have any question at all about opposites tasting good if she’s every been pregnant! Pickles and ice cream is a real treat!
Who’s the little tiny dude holding the box of fish sticks?
You would have gotten along with my Dad. He was a PB and Mayo eater. Sometimes with hot chilies.
I used to do that, but haven't in a very long time (I've become lactose intolerant, so I haven't had a milk shake in decades).

I like grapes with my popcorn, and just finished eating jelly beans and cashews together.
My Dad will eat saltines with ice cream. And when I was little, I remember him putting sugar on sliced tomatoes.
