Ask Lemmy

Salami and banana peppers.

Toast with mayo and powdered chocolate (Nesquik). Still not sure if my cousins were trying to pull a prank on me but it turned out to be one of my favourite childhood meals.

Try dunking cookies in tea. Or orange juice. I love both but I get strange looks when I tell people.

OTOH a few people have told me peanut butter and cheddar cheese make a great sandwich. I tried once, was not a fan.

Milk and oatmeal.

Golden Raisins and Oatmeal.

Milkshake with crispy bacon. You've got sweet, fatty, salty, crunchy, umami, creamy. So amazing. Blend or crumble a couple pieces into it but then have a whole piece or two stuck in it so you have bigger pieces to play around with. Has no business being as good as it is

In college we used to take a Ritz cracker, ez cheese, and top with a pizza roll. I haven't tried one in some years now but I remember it slapped at the time

Used to know someone who would pour a box of junior mints into popcorn at the theater. Shake it a couple times, let it sit just long enough to get a little melty, then go wild. Bonus points for adding enough buttery topping to soak through the bottom of the container

Feta and watermelon

Cantelope and prosciutto

Anchovies in Ranch dressing (make it fresh, you animals)

Goldschlager and Cuervo Gold tequila as a shaken shot (tastes like snickerdoodles)

Pancakes topped with yogurt and honey or pistachio butter

Georgian pesto is walnuts and cilantro, 10/10

Peanut butter in a tomato stew sends it in an African direction, and it's amazing

Deep fried olives filled with cheese

Salmon marinated in bourbon, touch of soy sauce, and brown sugar, baked.

Anchovies and capers on your pizza if you wear big boy pants

Red wine and coca cola if you're 14

Candied pine cones and creme brulé is 1 million percent magic

Cheez-its and canned whipped cream tastes exactly like if you asked ChatGPT to describe what cheesecake tastes like.

Pineapples and pizza. Yeah I said it.

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Maybe with a little Sriracha.

My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it's good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.

Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.

Blue cheese and Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper brings out the sweetness of the cheese and the tanginess of the cheese complements the sour of the soda.

Dr Pepper is the blue cheese of soda, after all.

Salmon + roasted Brussels sprouts

Wendy's French fries dipped in their frosty. It was at least a good combination twenty years ago ...

A fried egg on top of just about anything

Bread and everything else

Coffee and bananas

Vanilla in savory foods

Sriracha sauce and ice cream. Probably also works with any hot sauce that isn't just spicy vinegar.

Now I'm curious what ice cream and wasabi is like...

Make your a salami sandwich with the following steps.

1. Toast the bread.
2. pan fry the salami slices til their a little crispy on the edges.
3. spread hummus on the bread once it’s toasted.
4. add the crispy salami, some lettuce, and seasoned tomato to your sandwich and enjoy.

People look at me sideways for using hummus as a sandwich spread, but it’s delicious.

Kimchi and sweet potato. It's pretty common in South Korea too.

Kalimotxo. It’s red wine and cola in roughly equal parts, to taste. It’s a great way to salvage old wine that’s a day or two past drinkable, especially on a hot day.

I described it once on reddit in the before times, and someone called it a “shit red wine spritzer” and I think that’s kinda apt.

Strawberries and black pepper. You’re welcome.
