Non-intuitive food combinations that work
November 2, 2012 3:22 PM Subscribe
So when I was little I was the weird kid who mixed up food in weird and non-intuitive ways that grossed out many of my peers, but many of those combinations, discovered through largely blind trial and error, turned out to work really well - What are ones that you've discovered?
For example I found cucumbers to go shockingly well with all manner of sweet things like berries and ice cream, also fresh jalapeños but in a totally different way. Every time I've asked friends with similar habits I've always gotten unique and amazing combinations, and there have got to be plenty on AskMetafilter.

I keep a list of mine. Not on that list are my recipes from when I was really little; I liked to put cheese, ham, and yogurt on crackers in various combinations. Also, lemon juice + apple juice = orange juice, at least to toddler me.

I've always loved the way sharp cheddar goes with pickles, but only recently did I discover that it also goes amazingly well with kimchi.
Hot dogs dipped in sour cream is surprisingly delicious. The cool creaminess of the sour cream tames the salty meatiness of the hot dog, but they've both got a slight tang going on that works well together.
My mom actually introduced me to banana-and-mayo sandwiches when I was little. She preferred Miracle Whip and so did I at the time, but it's also fine with real mayo. I can't eat them anymore, but I used to love them, and nearly everyone I've persuaded to try just a little bite has been surprised at how much they like it.
And maybe not quite what you're looking for, but I have a really hard time accepting anything other than cola (Dr Pepper or Coke) to drink with tacos or other (Tex-)Mex(ican) food.

Spicy or pungent things with sweet fruits! Some of my favourite jams from the last year were strawberry/mystery chili peppers from a friend's garden and strawberry/black pepper. And my favourite marmalade I made last year was Meyer lemon and juniper (the lemons smelled so much like juniper when I cut into them that I couldn't resist; I crushed the juniper berries lightly and put them in a muslin bag to hang out with the peel in water for a couple of days, so that there were no bits of them in the finished preserve, and it tastes cold and clear and crisp). I like fruit jams with unexpected herb additions to eat with charcuterie, too; current favourite is apricot&rosemary jam to go with peppery salumi.
I add lavender to a lot of things, too—last week I made apple and lavender jelly which we ate with a reasonably pungent sheepy cheese, and I am going to be daydreaming about it for months.

I accidentally made peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches when I was a kid -- or maybe my mom introduced me to them, too? I remember there being some confusion, because there was an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood where he makes a peanut butter banana sandwich. And I either (a) did it wrong, or (b) realized I had been doing it wrong. I thought all this time it was just me!
Also good is peanut butter rice soup:
Start with day old refrigerator rice, short grain only. Cover in water in a small pot, add one tablespoon peanut butter or two tablespoons if you're cooking enough rice/soup for two people. Simmer over medium high heat and stir continuously until the substance is glutinous, probably no more than ten minutes.

When I was eight I helped found the Chips and Yoghurt Club, dedicated to exploring new food combinations. Our main discovery was french fries or plain potato chips dipped in plain or apricot yoghurt.
At uni a friend introduced me to toasted sandwiches made with a filling of mashed potato+cheddar cheese+dried mint+dash of cumin+salt and pepper to taste.
Now whenever I have leftover tomato-based spaghetti sauce, I eat it on toast.

Bleu cheese and yams.
Fried egg sandwich: soft white bread, egg(s) mixed up and fried, ketchup on one bread slice, mayo/miracle whip on the other.
What I call a "raisin shooter," much to the amusement of my wife: you pop a small handful of raisins in your mouth, chew them a couple of times, and then slam back ice cold milk or half-and-half or cream from a shot glass. The combination melds in realtime in your mouth into a very nice sweet caramely something.

Shaving cheese (that nasty cheese-product in a spray can) and frosted flakes. What was really amazing is that this tasted at least as good when we were sober.
Growing up I thought cottage cheese was always served with corn syrup on it. My mom still eats it that way.
I still like strawberry jam on a grilled cheese.

One summer I ate a lot of peanut butter, Grape Nuts and BBQ sauce sandwiches. The Grape Nuts were because my housemates liked creamy peanut butter—which I find lacks a certain gravitas— and the BBQ sauce stood-in for the tangy/fruity jam we never seemed to have.
I haven't revisited the PBBBQGN in a few decades. These days I buy my own peanut butter, so it's crunchy without having to add Grape Nuts, and I keep a jar of hot mango chutney on hand for sandwich-making.Which is good, but not nearly as interesting a combination.

Thought of another one, pretty firmly in the junk food category. Sour Cream & Onion Pringles laid out on a plate, with a slice of extra extra extra sharp (as sharp as you can find) cheddar on each one. Microwave for 10-15 seconds. We called these "dorm nachos" when I was in college.

Peanut butter and bacon on toast.
The peanut butter gets a bit of saltiness from the bacon, bringing it's flavor up a bit; the bacon gets a bit of sweet from the peanut butter, which also works well.

As a child my husband used to enjoy popcorn floating in his tomato soup. I've never had it though and can't vouch firsthand.
Fruit goes crazy well with meat and I'm always surprised it's not more common these days (I know it was more so during medieval times or whatever). Sausage with grapes that have been cooking and bursting a bit in the sausage fat, whether on the stove or in the oven; poultry or pork with apples, prunes, or plums; figs with rare beef or roast pork; chicken with any kind of citrus really; dried apricots that reconstitute in the cooking juices of lamb in a tagine; turkey with blackberries or strawberry salsa; reconstituted golden raisins in ground beef for meatloaf, meatballs, or hamburgers etc.
It's not that weird really, but putting a layer of potato chips inside a tuna fish sandwich is delicious.
Utah fry sauce (mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise mixed together, used to dip fries) is surprisingly good too.
Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter (SO GOOD) spread thinly on thick smoky bacon is to die for. The cinnamon and smoke and fattiness and salt and sweetness...ack, so good.
Not really weird so much as trashy, but Parmesan goldfish crackers with a glass of red wine is delicious. It's my "girly night in alone with pajamas on the couch" thing. And no other goldfish will do!
Dittoing apples or pears spread thin with spicy mustard, salt + ice cream (spanish peanuts with their skins still on in vanilla ice cream is way better than it has any right to be), and the more common to the point of being formalized in recipes/cuisines deal of cheddar with apples or apple pie, elote-type stuff (corn + mayo + lime + chili powder), and spice with sweet (cayenne brownies or fudge, melon with chili powder and lime, etc.). And post-Thanksgiving stuffing sandwiches are def. a guilty pleasure in my family.
There's a book called The Flavor Thesaurus that has some interesting personal-quirk-type flavor combos in it. As a bonus, it's quite well written. It's more adventurous but less comprehensive than The Flavor Bible.

BlahLaLa: "Very, very, excrutiatingly sharp cheddar + apples."
Be careful. A few years ago my wife and I had an apple-tasting party (soooo fun and it's not too late to have one before all the varieties disappear this fall). One of our "tastings" included cheddar. It tasted delicious with some of the crisper and more tart apples, but was horrible with some of the others. So carefully taste an apple and cheese together first before deciding you'll eat both together.

Dill pickles on nachoes. Effing incredible. EFFING INCREDIBLE. A restaurant in my city actually has dill pickles as a nacho topping option so this may be a local thing, but I know that it isn't a common practice even here since everyone that has seen me do it thinks I'm nuts. Just trust me, dice up some dill pickles and throw those mother fuckers on your nachoes with the rest of your toppings. Bonus points if you also add diced avocado. (much better than mushing it in to guacamole IMO)
Others:
- My sister used to eat fried baloney with crunchy peanut butter smeared all over it.
- slices of avocado on pizza turns pizza up to eleven... AND A HALF!
- And not a food combination, but I think Cream of Wheat makes a great snack. Apparently this is strange. My finacee has said "I love you even though you consider Cream of Wheat a snack."

Stumbled on one the other day and now I'm totally obsessed with it. A good, figgy fig newton or good nutrigrain-style bar--something with that cake-y soft layer and then some smudgey thick sticky seedy fruit--with a thin wedge of brie or camembert on top of it. So good. Not terribly surprising--lots of baked goods with creamy cheeses have fruit fillings and cake-y crust--but it's the fact the cheese is relatively unsweet to most said baked goods (less sweet than goat cheese or mascarpone or cream cheese, say) that does it.
