In another thread, I mentioned that I love peanut butter with chili(or vegetable soup). I like dipping a peanut butter sandwich in my chili or soup.
Other weird combos I enjoy:
1. Ketchup on eggs
2. Mayonnaise in soup beans
3. Mustard on salmon patties
What about you? Are there some weird food combinations that you like??? The weirder, the better...

OSH I'm glad you started this thread. I'm not very good at many things in life, but a few things that I am good at are talking about food and eating food so this one's right up my alley.
As for weird food combinations, it's funny you talk about ketchup on eggs, but I just started putting some on mine recently and it's a game changer. I've always had some sort of jelly on mine preferably grape, but other times especially when I have gravy & biscuits, I'll later mine up in serp and put it on my eggs too. We had waffle house, and I got the famous all-star meal, put ketchup on my hash browns and thought let's try it on the eggs, it was great.
Idk if this would be considered weird food combo considering one would be a condiment, I know fries & ketchup has always been the common thing, but every time I get fries, I always tend to get something different. Am I the only one? I mean I can eat them with ranch, honey mustard, bbq sauce, it doesn't matter to me, but I've always enjoyed different dipping sauces with my fries.
One that I've had a few times, but my dad & grandpa loved is getting cornbread, tearing it up and putting it in a glass of milk, I'll have to say it is very good. My grandpa took it a step further and would put his cornbread in buttermilk.
Not the weirdest but I'd assume common is putting peanuts in your pop, specifically an ice-cold Pepsi, I do this fairly often.
Always put sugar in my vegetable soup, and even spaghetti, think I seen my dad or someone in my family do it once before, so I tried it and I became instantly hooked, and apparently it is a lot more common than I thought, but maybe still weird to some.
This one may be the weirdest of the bunch for me. I have always been a fan of cottage cheese, my Mamaw loved it too, she especially loved the ones you got at the store where it had the fruit with it, like cottage cheese & peaches. I'll never forget I told my Mom I wanted some and she got it at the store, I was at home eating it and I told her that I needed something on it to make it taste better, all she had in the fridge was French dressing, so since I was about 10 years old, every time I eat cottage cheese, I'll eat French dressing on it.
That is about all I can think of, some kindly common and some kindly weird as well. May have more to come mind, but what about everyone else?

Let me tell you THIS, buttermilk and cornbread is NOT a step further. That was the original dish!
If you want something especially delicious, try HOT cornbread in buttermilk. Oh, my blood sugar is already going up!!

I just grew up on the cornbread/milk, so when I seen my grandpa do it w/ buttermilk it blew my mind

I've been to Cracker Barrel many times and ordered soup beans. When I tell the waiter I want some mayonnaise for my beans they look at me like I'm a damn nut. (I know, i know, I am a damn nut! lol)
I know this one's not too crazy but I like to put potato chips on my tuna fish sandwich.
Speaking of tuna, one of my faves is dipping my tuna sandwich in a bowl of tomato soup.
Cottage cheese with peach or pineapple slices.
Scrambled eggs in spinach.

Still do it from time to time, but when I was younger my dad and I would have a random assortment of stuff, like a combo plate, but it consisted of town house crackers (only ones I'll eat) grape jelly, bread & butter pickles (also only ones I'll eat) and cheese.
We'd tear the cheese apart, put it on the cracker, then put the jelly on it, eat that then get a pickle, rinse & repeat. I have no idea where my dad came up with that combination, but back then it was good, still good for a random snack every now and then.

What are we calling soup beans here?
Wife eats pickle and peanut butter sandwiches all the time.
3. Mustard on salmon patties
Have you tried them with the spicy brown mustard, you should, but I agree with you on this.

I can eat ranch dressing on about anything.
Ketchup is very good on eggs.
On my sweet potatoes I like brown sugar and maple pancake syrup. Most of my family gets a kick outta me for the pancake syrup lol
I love salt and vinegar chips. When I was a kid and we didn't have any, I'd get a bowl full of plain chips and pour vinegar and a little salt on them.
Hot dogs and BBQ sauce is another thing I like.

another sweet potato syrup fan may man.......
goes good on plain cake too.
BBQ sauce on hot dogs is good, little bit of relish, gives it all sorts of flavor.
apple pie topped with yogurt instead of ice cream. Its really good.

If you're in to sweet/salty flavors, top that apple pie with a slice of cheddar!

Potted meat sandwiches are good. I'd only ever ate it with crackers. I was at a buddy of mines and he introduced me to that. It's also good on toast. Garlic toast is my favorite, potted meats good on that.
My wife likes corn bread and milk or buttermilk. I never really cared much for it.
I like onions in my soup beans. If it's the right time of the year some fried polk weed goes good with them

Peanut butter goes well with all sorts of poultry and meats. I don't make soup often but one of my favorites is peanut soup with chicken, onions, bell peppers, carrots, and finely diced or powdered chile peppers. It is good with a chicken stock base and even better with a rich creamy base.
Combining peanut butter and other nuts such as cashews and almonds is more common in ethnic cuisines such as Indian, Thai, and Caribbean dishes, but some of my favorite foods include nuts with chicken or meat.
When I cook savory dishes like chili and stews, I often add a tablespoon or two of Marmite. Marmite by itself tastes nasty to me, but it enhances the flavor of dishes by adding an unami flavor. A jar of Marmite keeps on the shelf for a very long time. If you buy a jar don't let it's nasty taste dissuade you from cooking with it. Add a little to a pot of chili and simmer. Your chili will taste better and you will not taste the Marmite.
I also like the flavor of hot peppers paired with fruits like ripe mangoes and peaches. Sprinkling a little cayenne powder on fresh sliced mangoes makes a great healthy snack. I've never sprinkled it on sherbet but I believe that would be great.

This is a misnomer!! Aunt Bea was making dill pickles that tasted like gasoline!
I wouldn't waste my time on dill pickles and EVERYBODY loves my B&B pickles!!
FYI, they are GREAT with a pot of pintos or white beans.
Chili peppers on mangos?? All you guys are a little warped!

All of you eat salmon patties are sick in the head. Those of you who eat them with mustard needs to be institutionalized. Not a fan either
As far as what people call strange food combinations that eat, I like to dip french fries in mayonnaise, garlic aoli or chick fila sauce. I also dip potato chips in mayonnaise. I always got strange looks when I ask for jelly to put on my sausage biscuit. I love peanut butter and apple jelly with my chili with a little extra jelly put in the chili.

My wife is a diabetic and we make avocado toast using Everything bagel seasoning, Tajin, and a squeeze of lime juice. I first tried avocado toast a few months ago and love the stuff. It does not cause a blood glucose spike if you make it with something like Dave's Famous Good Seed Thin-Sliced bread. (low in sugar, high in fiber)
Dave's bread is not cheap but it tastes great to be so healthy. We buy avocado mash at Costco, which saves prep time. Fresh ripe avocados are great but they don't keep well.

Last night, I added some Ghost pepper sauce to some Capital City Sweet Hot Mambo wing sauce. I dipped an order of fries from Shake Shack into the concoction. It was a big upgrade over ketchup.
You might have picked up a pattern here. I add the flavor of hot chile peppers to a lot of my food. I don't eat my food 'Thai' hot, but I like it just hot enough to make my nose run. My list of favorite foods is dominated by spicy dishes like curries.

Grilled some deer steaks earlier. Getting ready to have some with some diced jalapeño peppers.
Jalapeño peppers is something I've started adding to stuff here of late. Love them on hotdogs and polish sausage.

I used to hate salmon patties. I love them now. I tried cottage cheese once as a kid and hated it.. Two weeks ago, I bought some to try it again. The texture almost made me puke. I love corn bread and milk. My daddy used to keep a glass full in the fridge.
As far as strange food combinations, I like tuna and pineapple mixed together.

Check in with me in a couple of days. I plan on making some tuna w/ boiled eggs later in the week. I'm gonna add some pineapple. I actually think I will like it a lot. Tell me, Westie, do you put a pineapple slice or do you chop up the pineapple in your tuna salad?
01-20-2025, 09:39 PM
If you're making tuna patties, use a slice. If you're making tuna salad, use the chopped ones. But put 4 or 5 paper towels in the sink and pour the crushed pineapple on them. Squeeze out the juice; otherwise, your tuna salad can be ingested with a straw!

Thank you, GB. So, I take it you have tried tuna & pineapple?
Definitely sounds like something I'll like. Just never thought to try it.
