Foods that shouldn’t work together….

[Reynard]

I’ll add one of my favourite (and well-known) combos:

Chili Con Carne with a few good chunks of dark chocolate melted in during cooking.

That's an old one, and used in Mexican regional cooking.

You don't actually taste the chocolate, but it adds a deep richness to the sauce.

Coronation chicken?

🤢 I appreciate this combination is a very personal aversion of mine, same as those dreadful curries with fruit in them!

🤢

Can I have your share, then? Espesh if it's my home made one!

Fish Fingers and Custard.

 

[steveindenmark]

Cheese and jam on bread. It is popular in Denmark.

Cheese and jam on bread. It is popular in Denmark.

Not heard of that one ! Easy enough to do too……**An open sandwich ??

Are there arguments (Like with the British: and the Jam or Cream first on Scones) over whether the Cheese or the Jam is put on first ? 😁

Cheese and jam on bread. It is popular in Denmark.

Sourdough with a thin slice of Gouda and then a light spread of marmalade is delicious

 

[annedonnelly]

Virtually everything is super-processed, even the smell of the place

The smell is the reason I've never entered one of the shops.

I suspect fresh celery and Marmite is a combo not found in a Subway sandwich, but it is in my house.

Crumpets with jam & grilled cheese on the top 👌

Added bonus for @Mo1959 it covers the holes 😉

ham and pineapple in a pizza (Hawaiian) would never have put them together but found them yummy !!

I am exactly the same. Could not have imagined them together but tried it and as you say, yummy!!

No reason why this wouldn’t work, sweetened buns should work really well assuming filling is properly savoury, which mince and cheddar will be. Dread to think how much sugar is in the standard MaccieD bun.

BUT…hot cross buns? Meat and raisins? I’m out!

TBF, mincemeat originally used actual beef mince so meat and dried fruit is a combo that dates back centuries. Not one for me personally though.

I keep seeing Burgers; inside a Hot Cross Bun touted / advertised constantly.

I myself have not been out to eat anywhere I’ve seen one for sale. So being Easter and with all ingredients readily available…….this dinner-time I’ve made my own !

OMG - it was sooooo good. But how ? Surely this shouldn’t work. It’s my new best food honestly. If this turns out to be a life enhancing Super-Food: I’m going to live forever 🤣

It's that thing of sweet, salt, sugar and fat which most people enjoy. There are a few burger places I have been to that use a krispy Kreme plain doughnut in place of a burger bun.

I can just about tolerate brioche for a bun, anything sweeter is a firm no from me 😂

Peanut butter and black olives in sandwich.

I'm the same.
Actually, the only time I like dried fruit is when combined with not salted nuts.
I don't even like Panettone because of the sultanas!
