in general i have too many to list,

but:

chai (whether masala or regular) + samosas

it's a MAJOR peeve with me that

so many coffee shops will serve (masala) chai

to jump onto a trend bandwagon,

and refuse to consider samosas.

would they dream of serving bagels w/o cream cheese?

milagai

( tried persuading my local joe's and they just laughed

in my face)

I am surprised that no one has listed, probably my favorite cobination.

Pork chops and applesauce!

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
