Question: Exciting food combinations?

Rinku — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:57:51 -0800

Grapes in milk... now what? Recently, someone recommended that I try putting grapes in milk and drinking / eating it. It was more delicious than I expected. Are there any other unusual / unexpectedly delicious food combinations that might make our super boring dining hall more of an adventure? A delicious adventure?

And of course, tater tots and chocolate candy bar eaten simultaneously.

Strawberries in milk?

This is one of the weirdest questions I've seen here.

Doubly wierd because I dropped in thinking about asking a similar question (accidental discoveries prompted by dropping a raspberry in a glass of apple juice - delicious!).

Dark chocolate drizzled over {salted popcorn, salted pretzels, salted peanuts}.

Yoghurt on toast is also good. Especially with fruit on top of the yoghurt.

Bacon and Dates go surprisingly well together. However, I forbid this to become another bacon is awesome thread.

This rasberry-chipotle sauce goes really well with Brie.

White bread and macaroni salad sandwiches.

I liked to take mac and cheese that has a nice skin on it, and take that skin and put it inside a nice, squishy dinner role. I also have used Cool Ranch Doritos as a burger condiment. And dipping hot, salty french fries in a chocolate shake is sick-tasty.

I used to smoke pot.

Seconding the fries-in-the-shake idea. It's awesome.

Also, peanuts and grapes are pretty good together.

By: glip

Peanut butter on apples is good. Sour cream on toast pwns youghurt on toast imho, jam is good all mixed in. I've heard black pepper on vanilla ice cream is good, can't speak from experience though.

It's not a combo, but making concentrated OJ in a blender instead of stirring it with a spoon is all sorts of wicked goodness.

Also, if you have those soda/lemonade/etc fountain machines, mix your own soda. Mt Dew + Dr Pepper; etc. vary the proportions, do some science. Orange soda can have surprising effects.

you must expand your grapes-in-milk journey to include grapes-in-cereal-in-milk. Obviously, it only works with certain cereals. No sugary ones. The best: cheerios and rice k's. You can thank me later.

The question is good weird though. I look forward to more deliciousness!

Ice cream and/or peanut butter with just about everything but especially fruit. Ice cream to make it tastier and peanut butter to make it more substantial. Grilled peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches. Pancakes or eggos can substitute as bread for most sandwiches. Smoothies are also good for weird combinations and a good way to sneak healthy foods in with unhealthy ones.

By: Ambrosia Voyeur

Ambrosia Voyeur — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:29:15 -0800

I like...
Bacon and jelly on toast
Potato Chips on any sandwich
Hot pastas dropped on top of salad greens
Grapefruit with brown sugar

and of course, Cocoa Puffs, Marshmallows, Soft Serve Ice Cream and Chocolate Syrup.

Bananas and cheese! Bananas and cheese! I love this, and when anyone sees me do it they always look at me strangely, try it themselves, and acknowledge that it's, in fact, pretty good. The cheese should be sharp, but not too sharp. American is fine, but Kraft Singles will work excellently.

maudlin — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:33:09 -0800

Cucumbers and milk (well, put some vinegar in the milk to sour it, then add salt and pepper). Everyone in my family but me loved this.

LobsterMitten, we called that soft drink combo "swamp juice". Root beer always made the mixture for me.

On the subject of unexpected things to do with grapes, if your dining hall has a make-your-own omelet thing (mine did, on occasion) you might investigate whipping up sausages with grapes, from the NY TImes food blog. A bed of sauteed grapes is really quite delicious, particularly with herby sausage drippings.

Explore your salad bar, if you're not already a frequent visitor to it, and freakin' get those ingredients miscegenating. It's all too easy to go through the main chow line and have somebody scoop up the entree of the day, but you can make delicious and nutritious bowls of weirdness from the stuff on the salad bar. Lettuce, carrots, beets, raisins, crispy chow mein noodles, grape nuts and bleu cheese dressing never tasted so good!

I enjoyed the occasional peanut butter, grape nut and bbq sauce sandwich also. YMMV, but I'd take it back to the dorm and pair it with a medium bodied American ale.

Make a vinegary cole slaw with onion. Very little mayo. Forget any sweetening sugar, pickles, etc. It really should come close to making you cry.

Take 2 slices of rye bread. Place one half slice of cheddar cheese (thin) on bread.

Slop on a bunch of slaw, then put on a ton of black pepper.

Enjoy!

Mincemeat in yogurt.

This isn't a combination, but I have to rave about it nonetheless: uncooked, mostly-unthawed frozen french fries. You specifically need to find a (usually discount) brand that neither coats the fries with any sort of batter-esque stuff or salts them too much.

By: the druid

sweet cream (or vanilla, i guess; never tried it though) ice cream with black pepper

Sea salt on caramels

Ginger and cherries

ginger and chocolate

Cottage cheese and sour cream 'n' onion chips, preferably Vitner's (went to college in chicago, sue me) sandwiched between lightly toasted bread

obvious, but so delicious it has to be mentioned: peanut butter and chocolate on bread

Seconding bananas and cheese. It's a very strong memory of Mr. Rogers. There was a note left in his kitchen, along with some (Kraft) slices and bananas:

"Wrap cheese around peeled banana, and eat right away."
-- CB"

(Chef Brockett, the neighborhood baker)

Anyone else remember this?

It is quite tasty, and has the added benefit of your kids looking at you funny. :)

PBJPB Sandwich: 2 slices of white bread, one slice of Oscar Mayer Bologna, chunky peanut butter, grape jelly, and sliced dill pickles. I'm not making this up. It's yummy.

I also have used Cool Ranch Doritos as a burger condiment.

Or Nacho flavored Doritos on a tuna sandwich. Especially if you don't have any lettuce or celery to add the crunch to the tuna salad.

In the "things to put in celery" category, my favorite is pineapple cream cheese (Actually Kraft Pineapple Cheese) and walnuts. So fifties suburbia but so yummy!

Cream cheese mixed with strawberry jelly + 'nilla wafers is crazy good.

My favorite childhood sandwich: chunky peanut butter and crispy bacon on squishy white bread, either toasted lightly or not.

By: zeph

zeph — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:58:37 -0800

Hot sauce on waffles (ideally, multi-grain but any will do) or pancakes.

Grated summer sausage and cottage cheese, together on a sandwich - bonus points if you make the sandwich in one of those "sandwich press" things so the outside gets nice and crispy and the summer sausage/cottage cheese mixture gets good and warm.

Chopped green olives (sans pimentos) and peanut butter on toast ... man oh days, that's one of my favorite comfort foods ever ...

In my circle of friends I am renowned for my odd mixing of foods...

I have seen many that i do here already.

Peanut butter on any fruit but esp bananas. mmmmm. And add me as another who dips fries in milk shakes. Cheetoes on Peanut Butter and Jelly Sammich.
Black Eyed Peas in Ketchup.

I like to dip a slice of cheese pizza in mashed potatoes. probably the one for which I am most famous.

My sisters would only eat greenbeans if they were smothered in applesauce. I tried it. It rocks.

And strangely enough, Kit Kat bars go exceptionally well with Polygamy Porter beer. If you're in Utah, or like to smuggle beer, this is a tenable combination.

Oatmeal and coffee (sweetened however you like). It's been my breakfast of choice for almost 2 years now. It's delicious! (But everyone I tell says it sounds disgusting). You can't use instant oatmeal or the long cook kind. I buy the Scottish style and let it soak in the hot coffee for 10 minutes. Yum!

Cool Ranch Dorito's on a Peanut Butter sandwich is fantastic.

This reminds me of the scene in "The Breakfast Club" when Ally Sheedy's character takes out a piece of white bread, crushes Cap'n Crunch all over it, and then pours sugar-pixie sticks on top, takes a huge bite, and washes it down with a can of Coke.

Peanut butter rice soup. Seriously. (Make rice in illegal dorm room rice cooker.

Cook until rice turns into a thick porridge.)

there's a local baker that makes chicken salad with apples and grapes. i don't even like chicken salad but this stuff is devastatingly good.

Orange juice blended with white chocolate powder. Tastes like a dreamsicle/creamsicle.

Ingredients: scrambled eggs, hash browns, onion bagel, cream cheese, Tapatio, ketchup, cracked pepper, lobster bib.

Step 1: Toast onion bagel, and smear with cream cheese.
Step 2: After cooking, mix hashed browns with copious amounts of Tapatio.
Step 3: Pour ketchup on scrambled eggs, mix well.
Step 4: Take hash browns and layer them on top of bagel. Smoosh down with fork.
Step 5: Take scrambled eggs+ketchup, and gingerly layer them atop the hash browns. Again, smoosh down with fork.
Step 6: Crack pepper over your mountain of yum.
Step 7 (Optional): Smear 2nd half of bagel with cream cheese, and top off your concoction.
Step 8: Devour! Rejoice!

(The bib is because things can get messy.)

Also, our local pizzeria makes a veggie pizza to die for. They use pesto instead of marinara, and top it with mozzarella, artichoke hearts, garlic, tomatoes, red onions, and cashews. It's really the last ingredient that makes it so magical. If you eat this drizzled with our not-so-secret-sauce (Tapatio^* + ranch dressing), you will be in flavor heaven.

Ooooo, also: blueberries with candied pecans and balsamic vinaigrette. Mmmmmmm, delicious!

^* We go through a lot of Tapatio in our house....

peanut butter tacos. you smear some peanut butter in a taco shell (I prefer chunky peanut butter) then add your meat, cheese, etc. My (Japanese!) mom always made them this way and they are AWESOME.

This might be a little on the obvious side of weird, but: any toffee-based ice cream (Friendly's used to make a nougat-flavored one, with caramel and chocolate and toffee bits, that is A> amazing and B> gone) plus Cinnamon Toast Crunch + honey makes for the single greatest sundae I have ever had. Try not to let the honey freeze too much. This also works with vanilla-based ice cream, and cookie dough is pretty good, but the ultimate version definitely takes toffee.

Peanut butter has been suggested as an addition, but the original version is so close to deadly that I haven't yet tried it.

On preview: Maple syrup + cereal is pretty similar. It's on my list to try now.

Salty/sweet combo snacks are very popular

No doubt, at least since peanut M&Ms were invented (or just plain ones added into homemade trail mix with nuts, sunflower seeds & craisins)

Was more intrigued with the consistency of salt/sweet in a thread otherwise rife with huge variety of the 'unlikely' combos. It made me think, whether or not justified, of a bachelor-type (did I just stereotype?) tendency for reaching into the fridge/cupboard late at night and concocting new solutions with whatever was there --

Anyway then I realized what I'd left out of my earlier post: my other salty/sweet-tooth favorite, potato chips dipped in applesauce.

More peanut butter love!
My dad liked peanut butter and onion sandwiches. My mom liked peanut butter, pickle, and mayo sandwiches. From my dad, I learned to smear a layer of peanut butter on top of a grilled cheese sandwich. From my mom, I learned to make a breakfast of bread, peanut butter, and an arrangement of the little marshmallows toasted under the broiler until the marshmallows got kind of blackened and crunchy of top, but still all melty underneath.

Oh, and my late granddad used to put a handful of Spanish peanuts into a bottle of Coca-Cola. Sweet, salty, carbonated, and crunchy!

I feel so sorry for all the folks with peanut allergies!

Way late to the party here, but I've enjoyed eating Wendy's fries along with their Frostys. The hot, dry, salty fries and the cold, dripping sweetness of the Frosty really clicked.

Also, my mother loves to tell people about how she used to drop roasted peanuts into her bottled Coca-Cola as a kid. I've never tried it, though.

The Undercheese Sandwich

Melt some sharp cheddar in a small frying pan. When it gets bubbly, crack two eggs on top. Pepper the tops. When the whites are firm and cataracts develop, very carefully loosen the cheese from the pan and flip the eggs. Flatten them with the spatula to pop the yolks.

Then, while they're finishing, put some ketchup on bread, either raw or blue-rare toasted. Decorate the cheese side of your eggs with some hot sauce, and assemble your sandwich. This is also good in a tortilla.

My friend invented Tortilla French Toast. It is surprisingly soft and delicious, and a serving for two will use up two tortillas and one egg, and just a bit of cinnamon sugar.

My grandmother used to make this really simple yellow cake without frosting that she called a one egg cake. At family dinners, all the kids used to drenched their pieces in the soup left over from the boiled potatoes. It sounds gross but was really good.

My fiancé turned me onto avocado mixed with banana and lemon juice, slightly sweetened with sugar or honey if you want. My mother will not even taste it based on looks alone, but it actually tastes good. He also made me avocado mixed with onion and hard-boiled egg which is good on toast.

kool aid pickles, mentioned upthread, are tasty.

and it isn't really weird, but it was already mentioned so i'll agree: apples n' cheese. perfect.

dates and bacon do indeed go very well together.

eggs and honey. eggs and rooster sauce.

mashed up/chopped-to-a-pulp pitted black olives (can be the canned cheap kind) make a really good layer for a toasted tomato, cheese, and herb sandwich.

when eating raw green onions or radishes, it's imperative to salt them.

flavorful (not green) wine-y grapes are a good way to refresh oneself when snacking on matzo crackers. and matzo is good for tea when topped with honey or jam.

Not as weird as some of the suggestions above, but pizza with pineapple and hot peppers is fantastic. Sweet, salty, and spicy.

Also, salsa and hummus on your bread/pita/cracker of choice is great, but salsa and hummus on french toast is even better. (I once half-scared my dad into thinking I was pregnant by eating this combo in front of him.)

Hummus goes well with pickles, too. Preferably the spicy ones, nothing sweet.

When I was a growing teenager, I ate a lot, like many a growing boy is wont to do.

After a day with the normal trifecta of meals, combined with the general snacking/grazing along the way, night would come. Like many a growing boy, I enjoyed staying up late and sleeping in the next morning. This, however, presented a problem: I needed additional nutritional sustenance during those long evening hours to maintain my blood sugar at a sufficient level to keep my eyelids aloft.

Enter nachos. My preference was hand-grated sharp cheddar from the brick-sized blocks of generic brand that mom got at the store, heavily piled over a plate full of Tostitos. Microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds at high power, depending on your microwave.

About an hour after that the crushing urge for ice cream would strike and I would promptly destroy a little less than half a gallon of it, were that much available.

This became a nightly routine, until the day my brother made a fabulous observation, along the lines of "if you love it so much why don't you just marry it?" Which is exactly what I did.

The day you, gentle reader, make the glorious transition to the world of nacho-cheese-covered-chip-dipped-in-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream, you too, will be enlightened. I envy you this virginal experience. It was the best day of my life.

Once night while tending bar I had yet another annoying group of customers ask me to invent a new shot for them. At our bar, which had a lot of college students, this was a frequent request, and it was always annoying, especially when we were busy, which we usually were. I spied a bottle of Pepto Bismol and mixed it with Blue Curaçao (equal parts), gave it a taste, and called it Sweetheart. It tasted exactly like those candy hearts you get at Valentine's Day, the ones that say "be mine" and stuff. Those kids loved it and were none the wiser.
