Always looking for new food ideas.
I’ve been looked at weirdly for dipping pretzels in mustard.
Isn’t this the standard way to eat pretzels?
Yeah, I’d say it’s 50/50 on whether a pretzel gets served with mustard or cheese in my experience, and I almost always try the pretzel when it’s on the menu. Sometimes you get both. Assuming we’re talking soft pretzels. Hard pretzels, idk.
Both
I mean it was always normal for me, I also dip them in ranch and have been looked at weird for that too. Idk man. I got downvoted for answering the question haha.
Ham and cream corn
Dr Pepper and kumquats.
Dr Pepper and kum
quatsftfy
Stop banging the bread, thanks.
Dr. Pepper mixes surprisingly well with a lot of things. It’s kinda wild.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
I’ve had a similar one too! Very good. Non citrus fruit + funky cheese, + nuts is always a great combo.
I’ve had similar pizzas in the US. “Sweet pizzas”, so to speak, were all the rage in the mid 2010s. More often, they were branded as flatbreads.
I’ve made pizza topped with a brandy peach sauce (peaches sautéed in brandy, nutmeg, butter), bourbon blueberry syrup, and taleggio. Even better is peaches, arugula, and brie.
My favorite kind of pizza is a bacon lettuce tomato, with a mess of mayo to top it off. Chefs kiss*
I love that sweet and salty. Sea salt caramel. Prosciutto fig pizza. Chocolate pretzels.
I used to work at a pizzeria that had fig, pistachio, and arugula dressed with truffle honey. It was very popular.
Okay now THAT is weird. How did they prepare the pear? Big slices or little?
That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.
That’s…actually a good point. Maybe not as weird as I thought.
Not that weird, just relatively uncommon. I can recommend it, try one if you can :)
Jazz up a quesadilla by adding a little thin sliced apple or pear. Good ol super market cheddar is an excellent cheese choice.
Rosemary + Strawberry (Jam)
Fresh Strawberries mixed and cooked with rosemary twigs then sieved
Can be diluted with qater as a sort of lemonade.
Or it can be further processed as a jam.
I like to use it as a thin topping on a chocolate or hazelnut spread :)
Sort of like a PB&J but instead a S&B?My girlfriends’ mom makes rosemary + grape jam.
Absolutely great on pâté I hear!
Also mango jam is very nice with yogurt
Strawberry is also really good with basil or mint in a cocktail.
Havent tried basil. I have tried with lemon balm and mint. The mint I chose with the strawberry basically tasted like strawberry toothpaste xD It tasted great though.
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.
French fries with vinegar. Ok, not unusual if you’re British, but delicious even if you aren’t.
I discovered the vinegar as a condiment with vinegar salt potato chips. Then I found out the fries. Sooooo good.
Well, malt vinegar.
Why the fuck did we colonise 90% of the world if you’re not putting vinegar on chips? Did we teach you nothing?
We put ketchup on our “French Fries”, governor.
Ketchup has vinegar
Fun fact: Ketchup is any table sauce that is made from a vinegar base. We just think of the default as “tomato ketchup” but there can be other kinds! Mushroom ketchup used to be the default.
Vinegar is missing quite a bit from Ketchup, though.
Conquer half the world for spices.
Use absolutely none of them in authentic British cuisine.
Just the way His Majesty intended.
I am the only one in my family who likes vinegar on fries.
I do prefer apple cider vinegar over regular vinegar, but I’m more than happy to slather any available vinegar I can on.
Honey and white cheese on a pancake. Honey by itself might be too sweet - the cheese (especially if it’s a bit more salty) balances that out nicely.
Ho yeah that reminds me of spicy honey on cheesy pizzas… maybe my best memory from l.a.
BLP. Bacon Lettuce Peanut butter. It’s like a BLT, but I hate tomatoes.
Boil up some ramen noodles, drain all the liquid and discard the flavor pack. Add a can of Hormel No Beans Chili and a few table spoons of Cheez Whiz. Heat up the chili and cheez. A few decades after I first concocted this, I found out that Ohio has restaurants that basically sell this same thing (Skyline and Goldstar).
Sriracha sauce on a hot dog, period.
Cinnamon raisin bagel. Toasted with some thick slices of aged cheddar and a nice hotsauce. I like valentina, but siracha is good too.
I made a chef salad at work which usually comes with just ranch.
I added a sweet Thai chili sauce to it and it was honestly really fuckin good. The sweetness from the chili sauce really brought out all the regular flavors of the salad and ranch
Based on this thread peanut butter or peanuts goes with a lot more than expected.
Potato chips dipped in peanut butter or yellow mustard. Malt vinegar on eggs. Waldorf salad.
Isn’t mustard always yellow ?
Peanut butter is absolutely vile, I like actual peanuts by themselves though.
