Always looking for new food ideas.
Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The sweet and tangy go sooooo well together!
Oh yeah! I also add jalapenos too.
I enjoy a good Hawaiian pizza. But this combo is way better.
Curried rice with chicken, dried cranberries, and pistachios
Sounds vaguely like Persian food
I was combining Indian and Persian food :)
I don’t know anyone who does this, but I love putting barbecue chips on cheese and mustard sandwiches. Same with spicy chips.
BBQ chips on a sandwich is an excellent way to up your sando game
I just had Mac n cheese with green Chile and meatballs. I liked it 👍
pizza with jalapeños and pineapple, the spicy-sweet was pretty good
Add garlic and it’s my “to go to” pizza since nearly 25 years
My favorite pizza toppings
This feels like a more widely available of habanero mango combination
Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are way better than they have any right to be.
Got to be no sugar varieties of both ingredients.
Plain Potato chips and pretzels.
We used to make peanut butter sandwiches with potato chips. I haven’t had one since I was like 14 and need to try one again.
A can of condensed tomato soup, 1 can of milk, pad of butter, 1/2 cup(or more) instant rice. Lets soup come to near boil, turn off heat, add rice., cover and let steep for about 8 minutes.
A can of milk?
Yes, empty the can of condensed soup into a pot, then fill the empty can with milk instead of water then empty than into the pot.
I sometimes will toss in tomato soup instead of water when using a rice cooker when I’m sick and just want carbs and salt and liquid. It’s adequate.
Cinnamon raisin bagel. Toasted with some thick slices of aged cheddar and a nice hotsauce. I like valentina, but siracha is good too.
A Puerto Rican coworker turned me onto hot chocolate with cheese in it. I believe the traditional method is basically just to put some cheese in the cup and you end up with a melted glob of cheese to eat with a spoon as/after you drink it. I’ve played around with that as well as actually incorporating the cheese into the drink itself, melting it all together on the stove.
Kind of gets you some of that well-tested sweet/salty/savory combo. I dig it in a Mexican hot chocolate with some cinnamon and chili powder.
I believe the traditional cheese is edam, I’ve tried that as well as cheddar and a few other cheeses, they all seemed to work pretty well, try it at your own risk if you go for anything too funky
That sounds like a food crime…
That’s kind of the point of this thread though isn’t it? Weird food pairings that sound crazy but actually work if you’re brave enough to try them
Elsewhere in this thread you’ll find a lot of sweet/salty/savory pairings, one that’s particularly relevant is adding chocolate to chili. Lots of chili will end up getting served with some shredded cheese, or some sour cream (sour cream is kind of next door to cheese when you think about it) so not too far off from a Mexican hot chocolate without the meat.
Cheese is dairy, and there’s no shortage of milk and chocolate creations, like hot chocolate itself
Cheese can go with sweet things just fine, plenty of great fruit and cheese pairings, cheese and honey, etc. (if you haven’t tried it, some warm apple pie with some sharp cheddar cheese on it is great, also sounds crazy to some people but if you ever do a cheese fondue odds are you’re going to be dipping apple slices into cheese)
You’re probably even familiar with a couple pairings of chocolate and other cheeses, things like chocolate chips in cannoli, chocolate cheesecake
When I was in high school, we had a class potluck. I accidentally got some cheese dip (Rotel and Velveeta) on one of my chocolate chip cookies.
I figured, “Why not?” and tried it. Surprisingly good.
MMM I used to put choco krispies (think chocolate rice krispies) into my quesadillas. That shit was fire.
Roasted peanuts goes good with most salty foods. Crush and sprinkle it on top of some beef or chicken for a nice, tasty crunch.
Ham and cream corn
Dip your pretzel sticks or Salzstangen in mustard.
Trust me and thank me later.
Dijon mustard on a soft pretzel is also incredible
Pizza with tuna, onions and pineapple.
I don’t agree but I get called weird for putting applesauce on my macncheese
Definitely weird but I’ll try it
Sweet BBQ mac and cheese is really good, so this sounds pretty similar
Yeah, you’re weird.
