Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It's a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.

[โ€“] ScottyB@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is how I upgrade all my noodles. Everyone asks my secret to make them creamy and nutty. I tell them "Add the ingredient in your kitchen called 'chunky peanut butter'" None of them believe me.

Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don't have to share!

[โ€“] jonkenator@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.

It's delicious.

[โ€“] jargoggles@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

[โ€“] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Also coffee. It doesn't make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn't help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!

[โ€“] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It's basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

[โ€“] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

nah, that sounds good. you're like halfway to a thai peanut sauce with that combo

[โ€“] nishville@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

[โ€“] Alto@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.

Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.

[โ€“] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it's a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

[โ€“] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I always hated the idea to put beans and bananas together. It is a fairly common habit in my country, tho, but it's a no-no for me in general.

But once I tried a Nigerian dish that had beans, bananas, shrimps and pepper and I absolutely fucking loved it. Seriously, the flavor was from another world.

[โ€“] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Forgive the spelling but I think that's called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!

[โ€“] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

I'm gonna go with game genres, specifically roguelikes and rhythm-based games. They sound terrible together and yet, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and also Cadence of Hyrule) is the shit.

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

"Things that sound like an awful combination"

I don't feel that this one fits the bill. Why would those two flavours be awful together? Beef + cheese = good

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

[โ€“] catbottom@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Peanut butter, mayo, dill pickle sandwich. Might not be too rare, I've met a few other people who eat variations of this but damn is it good.

You gotta watch out though cuz all that mayo will sneak up on you.

[โ€“] InisSieferI@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.

I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.

[โ€“] fatboy93@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Vanilla ice-cream with either a slice of ripe mango or vanilla with a dash of lemon juice and salt.

Yum Yum!

[โ€“] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A shower and an orange. You can just devour that orange like a caveman without worrying about the mess. Shower beer is good too, just because it is nice to have a cold beverage under a hot shower.

[โ€“] Steam-Roller@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.

[โ€“] Akasazh 1 points 2 years ago

Ok this one wins in my book. Thinking about this makes me uncomfortable, but I'm gonna have to try it.

[โ€“] eldoom@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Cheese in pancakes with syrup.

[โ€“] Redknots@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.

[โ€“] zephyr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

[โ€“] anadem@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.

[โ€“] Redknots@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Peanut Butter M&Ms and Bourbon. Iโ€™m a heathen. ๐Ÿฅƒ ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸก

[โ€“] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

[โ€“] ratboy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb
