Food Combinations

[judiu]

As a child, saltines dipped into Bosco chocolate syrup (Blech!); as an adult, patty sausages dragged thru real maple syrup. Yum!

[Sunny Simmons Steincamp]

Banana & mayonnaise sandwiches with black pepper

Black-eyed peas with mayonnaise

Cold (or even pantry-temp) green peas mixed with mayo, dill, & chopped onion

Cinnamon graham crackers with cream cheese

Triscuit crackers topped with a pepper (jalapeno or banana rings) and a square of sharp white cheddar & broiled in the oven

[Kerry Beal]

As a kid -

really hot thin pablum with alphabits cereal

raw rolled oats with milk

cream of tomato soup with tons of smashed saltines

grated cheddar cheese with catalina dressing

[foodite]

Flamin' hot Cheetoes, Pepperoncinis, and Orange Juice.

[Pookie]

There is a restaurant here in town that serves it's burger with a big thick wedge of cream cheese on top. Mmmmmm.

Bacon Peanut Butter and lettuce sandwiches.

I've seen two responses here I'd like to endorse as weird combinations yet indescribably delicious as well....

1. The peanut butter, banana, and mayonnaise sandwich on white bread

2. Sausage patties (or links) or bacon covered with maple syrup

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

[Soupcon]

Peanut butter, onion and lettuce sandwiches, salt on mashed fresh strawberries, pepper on icecream, french fies and mayonaise

[dockhl]

scrambled eggs with tzatziki

salami sandwiched between two salt 'n vinegar potato chips

[slbunge]

Large curd cottage cheese (has to be the large curd because it is less salty), possibly "thinned" with just a tiny bit of extra-heavy cream, so that barbecue potato chips, either Wavy Lays or Ruffles ( unless I can find the Michael Seasons Thick and Crunchy Mesquite barbecue chips) can be dipped into the cc so one gets a bite of cottage cheese with a bite of barbecue potato chip.

I tend to eat plain potato chips with cottage cheese rather than flavored.

Continuing with thoughts of cottage cheese, another of my favorite "Huh?" combos is Spaghettios with a dollop of cottage cheese.

Bacon or sausage with maple syrup is classic... Pretty much every Canadian I've ever known does this. Even better, seared foie gras laquered with maple syrup served with a fried quail egg. Always gets good reviews from the customers.

movie popcorn with a box of milkduds thrown in and allowed to soften up. In the dark you try to feel around for the gooey stuff and get some with the hot popcorn. Ymmm...

Wavy Lays sandwiching a slice of crispy dill pickle! Yousah!

[Lilija]

Almost burnt English muffin, topped with a thick layer of mayo, and a fat slab of perfectly ripe summer tomato. Salt, pepper.

Muffin has to be just this side of black, though.

Dollops of tuna salad, sandwiched between pickle chips.

Salami rolled around a chunk of cream cheese.

Liverwurst and pickle relish, on crackers.

Pickles on anything with barbecue sauce.

On the same note, pickles on top of baked beans. Raw onion, too.

Oatmeal cookies dunked in crummy canned chicken or onion soup.

My husband likes (and used to buy the stuff, strictly to eat this glop...) Chunk of cheddar cheese, with a gob of canned chocolate frosting. I tried converting him to Nutella, but he wasn't having it.

ETA: Almost forgot!!! Any salty snack with some sort of cheesedust, like Cheetos, Cheese Doodles, or cheese popcorn, served with hot cocoa. Milk will do, in a pinch, but hot cocoa is better. I picked this up when I worked midnights at 7-11. It was breakfast for me, many mornings.

Wise Potato chips dipped in vanilla ice cream

[scubadoo97]

A couple of combos that are not mainstream for me are

Peanut butter on whole wheat with a slice of American cheese. Some how the peanut butter/American cheese combo just goes well together.

Cottage cheese with a good drizzle, ah pour, of extra virgin olive oil and fresh cracked black pepper.

I am suprised that after the length of time this topic has been running, nobody has mentioned two of my favourites:

A slice of freshly baked, crusty white bread, with a thin slice (and I do mean slice!) of ice cold butter laid on top, sprinkled with sea salt , or,

A hot freshly toasted English Crumpet, dripping molten butter down your chin as you take your first bite.

Simple and delicious!
