Strange or odd food combinations that pleasantly surprised you

[bobcat]

Occasionally I will make this odd sandwich:
Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, and mayo on the other, and in between a fried egg and sliced dill pickle.
It sounds horrible, but it is actually quite good.

I honestly think peanut butter goes well with anything. I have tried this before. A slice of cold meatloaf, peanut butter and grape jelly or Italian Bread. It was good.

Also, not mixing anything but great for camping by the campfire. Most people love S'Mores, but try roasting a Starburst over a campfire. Delicious.

Peanut Butter... I genuinely think that the only people who love Peanut Butter as an entire nation are Americans.. I have no idea why that is...

I've travelled quite extensively throughout Europe, and never once has Peanut butter been served anywhere..in restaurants or people's homes..

Not to say people don't eat it here.. but I don't know anyone who does..

I also like PB with mayo and lettuce. Actually, I prefer PB savory over sweet.

That is fascinating. I had no idea that it wasn't a staple everywhere. I just learned something new. I wonder if it's because they just grew up without it and never developed a taste for it, or something else. I love Chinese food, but the traditional type, however, there are many foods that they eat, and it would never occur to me to buy or try. Maybe we just know what we like, so that's good enough.

I have always like French toast with catsup rather than maple syrup.

I eat peanut butter almost every day

I have never heard of French Toast with catsup. That's a new one for me.

My brother eats hot dogs with ketchup and mayonnaise. We won't let him eat that in the same room as us.

Just curious .... what is it about hot dogs with ketchup and mayo that bothers you?

I'm not sure. We know he won't keel over from eating it, but somehow, we just can't put those two things in our mouths at the same time.

This was a one-off and since I like salt and sweet combo:

Frito Lay Corn Chips dipped into Peach Yogurt.

My first time to North Carolina and a sandwich shop where I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and was asked if I wanted it North Carolina style. I had no idea what that was, but I said yes. I got a nice high pulled pork bar-b-que sandwich with a scoop of coleslaw on top of it. It was the best pulled pork sandwich I ever ate. Now I am hooked on them. Even when I went down to South Carolina and out to the Island, I asked for the style pulled pork sandwich and they knew what it was.

How about a toasted sandwich with whole wheat bread, peanut butter and old cheddar cheese.

Agreed 100 percent. Great combo.

I'm full from lunch but reading this made me hungry!

If you're from the West you might think of a "BBQ place" as having BBQ ribs and such. In the Carolinas BBQ means pulled pork, a pleasant surprise.

I guess the oddest thing I combine is two slices of bread with mayonnaise and a ring of canned pineapple.

I think I might try that.

I used to like crackers with mayo. Was a great after school snack.

I would never think of having canned pineapple as a sandwich. That blows my mind. Thanks

Back east here, we also eat just plain old tomato sandwiches. Two pieces of bread, a nice slice of a beefsteak tomato, a little mayo and you have a nice tomato sandwich. This goes back to my childhood. I remember the first time I pushed away my tomatoes on my plate. My dad told me that men need to eat tomatoes often because they contain a chemical that all men need to help them be able to go to the bathroom easier.

I had forgotten the name of the chemical until one day in chemistry class when the science lab teacher said the word "Lycopene". Lycopene is necessary to give men a strong and healthy heart and prostate. There was a time in my life when I ate a small tomato, like a plum tomato or a few cherry tomatoes everyday. It must have helped because I have a healthy prostate.. I can go for hours without having to go to the bathroom to pass my water.

People think I'm nuts to put strawberries on my steak, but they like pineapple on their ham.

 

[Jamala]

Even when I was pregnant, I didn't crave any of these
combinations.
Do like pineapple and anchovies on pizza though!

Wow, something else I would never think of, but sure, why not.

It would be a rare restaurant here to find a peanut butter sandwich. If it were it would be on the kid‘s menu or a trendy place doing something fancy with it.

I’d be shocked if your friends served it to a guest. I have it every day but would never offer it to anyone.

Do you see peanut butter on your grocery shelves? Are there various types. Maybe it’s like that British spread Vegemite or marmite that is loved there but here is only sold tucked away on a small shelf.
