Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn’t thought
Salmon + roasted Brussels sprouts
My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it’s good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.
Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.
Wendy’s French fries dipped in their frosty. It was at least a good combination twenty years ago …
Coffee and bananas
Bananas and cheese.
Mr. Rogers taught me that one
Frank’s Red Hot and bananas.
F. R. H. is not good in coffee.
It’s the vinegar that causes the problems, straight chili powder in coffee is nice
Orzo (rice shaped pasta) and peanut butter, its ultra-dense camping food, never need to make more than a small bowl.
My brother-in-law hiked the Appalachian Trail on a diet of peanut butter tortilla wraps
Jägermeister with milk. Or Batida de coco (with or without milk). Or with lemon juice and definitely no milk. (Don’t judge me, it’s legit good with milk)
A fried egg on top of just about anything
Southern style sweet tea and lemonade.
Kimchi and sweet potato. It’s pretty common in South Korea too.
Peanut butter and ajvar.
Most types of cheese on top of hot beans
Blue cheese and Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper brings out the sweetness of the cheese and the tanginess of the cheese complements the sour of the soda.
Dr Pepper is the blue cheese of soda, after all.
Blue cheese and grapes is also a fantastic combination. Pretty sure this is well known in France.
Pineapples and pizza. Yeah I said it.
So no joke, I talked shit about pineapple on pizza for years. Then, I can’t remember why specifically, but we had someone over and asked what type of pizza she wanted, and she said Hawaiian. And there was some leftover. I grew up poor, and we do not waste food, so I decided it was worth trying it.
It was amazing. I immediately felt silly for being so against it.
My wife still refuses to try it on principle (she did grow up near NYC, so she has STRONG opinions on pizza).
Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it’s not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it’s the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.
I’ve had New York pizza. It’s mid. It’s fine. It’s ok. It’s not the best pizza in the universe guys. It’s convenient because there’s no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.
And peach, too!
Oreos and yellow mustard. Don’t knock it til you try it. Then call me a heathen, respectfully.
Oreos and queso dip. I tried it as a joke at a party - to the disgust of my wife and friends - but it was great!
Which mustard? I have four different ones in my fridge right now that are meant for different things. I recon the choice matters for oreos.
Is it that yellow American slime?
Kalimotxo. It’s red wine and cola in roughly equal parts, to taste. It’s a great way to salvage old wine that’s a day or two past drinkable, especially on a hot day.
I described it once on reddit in the before times, and someone called it a “shit red wine spritzer” and I think that’s kinda apt.
Otoh do not try mixing beer and wine it is awful. Truly truly awful.
That I can believe. I’ve only mixed them in the sense of generally making bad decisions in a night.
In my country we call it bamboo for some reason.
That’s interesting and weird! Guessing from your name, is it Slovenia?
A few weeks ago I poured some cane sugar coke in a half-drink glass of Port and all my friends looked at me like I was crazy when I said it wasn’t half bad
That tracks, but with port I feel like it’d be super sugary.
Oh for sure. Like a wine/cola syrup
In this same vein, cola and beer in equal proportions with a shot of amaretto tastes like snickers
I thought that said tastes like nickers, lol.
50/50 Guinness and cola. It’s called a Black Velvet and is indulgent and lovely.
@Lodespawn @EvilBit that sounds like a shortcut to a bad time
The kalimotxo is actually pretty tame; half as potent as wine, so comparable to maybe a pale ale.
Can’t speak for that other madness though.
