Weird Food Combinations you enjoy.

Post by Cowsham »

What's the weirdest mixture you'll admit to like eating?

I'll start with

" chips and tinned peach segments"

I have many more but who can beat that?

Good tasty cheese and home-made blackcurrant jam. On a sarnie it's great!

The home made blackcurrant jam maybe hard to get hold of here -- blackberry grows plentiful though. Sounds tasty.

I don’t think my tastes are weird but have had adverse reactions and comments from people about the following. You make your minds up:
Banana sandwiches.
Cheese on digestive biscuits.
Dark chocolate and single malt whisky.

My sister used to drink a glass of milk with a measure of orange squash. Now that IS weird!

Not sure it's weird though it is a combination of ingredients depending on the chef, but l like steak tartare. Not the sort of thing l eat at home though and not often on British menus, last time l ate it was in Sweden.

I'm going to try that!

My toast special is a called a 'sizzler'. Start with bread, butter and marmite, layer on top of this thinly sliced onion and cheese then toast until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Also +1 for cheese and jam (cheddar and strawberry jam preferably)

But stilton on sweet digestive biscuits is pretty unbeatable

Years ago, before energy bars and gels were invented, I used to take peanut butter and honey sandwiches on Audax rides. One of those was good for a few miles, although you had to keep them well wrapped or they’d make a mess in your saddle bag :shock:

Nothing weird about any of those. Banana sandwiches were a staple part of my childhood diet. Unless the digestive biscuit is a chocolate one that’s perfectly normal.

However this is certainly weird!

My favourite combo is fried bread and tomato sauce. :evil:

Not at all weird up north but some may find it so: fruit cake and a good mature cheese. Yorkshire pudding and ice cream.

Today for breakfast I had crushed banana, blueberries, maple syrup and Alpro non-dairy yoghurt

When I were a lad it was dripping sandwiches with added salt.

Salt with oranges.
Not uncommon in some parts of the world. In parts of the Caribbean where street sellers offer the salt option.
Strangly delicious.

And at the other end of the spectrum,
finely chopped garlic on Marmite toast - otherwise known as "savoury delight"!
Not for social events though!

Sardines on toast - excellent.

Garlic has no right to even exist. Horrible in the extreme.
It's the only thing food-wise I detest, and I detest it so much, I can't even be in the same room as it.

Had the comments about banana sandwiches too but for me it's totally normal food we were brought up on. Seems to be a thing youngsters have never heard of.

If it was real orange it would curdle - I know cos I've tried it a long time ago. The squash is probably just mainly sugar so she'd get orange flavour milkshake.

I understand the fruit cake and cheese but do you put the ice cream into the Yorkshire pudding?

Yes. It's really just a pancake batter so it goes well. It's the association with roast beef that makes it surprising
