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.
Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.
Also peanut butter and pickles.
Allllso peanut butter and jelly.
Also peanut butter and stir-fried broccoli
Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon
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.
Turn based + time pressure is just such an insane combination. Makes the simplest games insanely harder, escalates the potential for blunders and at the same time enables flow. Bullet chess is similar in that regard.
Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.
Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don't have to share!
My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.
It's delicious.
Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.
Also coffee. It doesn't make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn't help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.
Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! ๐
Alcohol and power tools.
I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.
Ya, anything with sour and sweet notes is gonna help the pulled pork!
Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.
Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!
Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It's basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.
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.
Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.
Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.
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.
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.
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
It was just strange to me when someone told me about it, and when I tell other people they think it's strange too.
Beer and OJ. Half and half.
I don't know who made you, but they should be ashamed.
Nutella and orange marmalade on an English muffin
Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.
Peanut Butter M&Ms and Bourbon. Iโm a heathen. ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ก
I've only ever tried it once, and no drugs were involved but a Irish o garlic bratwurst, and a Hershey chocolate bar. Sooo good.v
Not sure if it was a worldwide thing or only in my country, but there used to be a Coke/Coffee blend we had here. It sounds terrible but I absolutely loved it, they stopped carrying it a year or two ago though.
Ketchup-flavored pringles is also apparently not a common thing in other countries, but it is the best flavour.
What's your country ?
