Favorite unusual food combinations
 

I thought I'd be fun to make a post for this, so post your "secret" or not so secret, unusual food, or snack combination. I no it's a kinda weird threat, but i thought it would be fun :)
Here are my three greatest unusual snacks:
1.- the grossest, according to most people- cucumbers with mustard.. I love it, most people think it's nasty, but it tasted great, or so I think ;)

2. pretzels with salsa.. I tried this once as an experiment, and I liked it, so ever since I eat salsa with pretzels.. :)

3. -the weirdest, I suppose- while most normal people (I'm not one) like to eat peanut butter sandwich, I liked to make myself 'tomato-butter-sandwiches'. Yup, thats right. I like to put butter and tomato sauce (not ketchup) on toasted bread and make it into sandwiches. It tasted great, I think, then again, I have weird food tasted :D


What are your unusual food combos? I sure like to hear about them, maybe even try them if they sound good :p

I have only ever had one bite of this Northern taste sensation!!.... 'deep fried Mars bar'... a fav for anyone wanting to hasten the onset of a heart attack!

how about Marmite ice lollies?.... I dont think they exist.... but that would be a guilty secret :D

Of lutefisk and lingonberries
 

.
Smoked cod or halibut is great with lingonberries (tastes sort of like cranberries) as a condiment.

Lutefisk with mustard and diced bacon is a winner around Christmas – but then again, that’s traditional here. Some people add a bit of goat cheese or even a pungent cheese known as gammalost, but I’ve never tried that.

Vær så god!

Well worst thing to put on a sandwich.
Take some chocolate preferably of the soft filled type put it on a sandwich then add some really salt stuff on that like kaviar if you know what that is.

Looks really gross. Tastes heavenly.

Last night I had tuna and guacamole on rice, which apparently is a Japanese dish. The odd thing about it, was that it tasted pretty good.

How about cheese and jam in a toasted pita bread? An Arab dish, I believe.

Or even:

Raw prawns in fish sauce with garlic and chili?

Seriously good.

Peanut butter and sliced onion sandwiches.

Garlic Ice Cream can be found at the Gilroy Galic Festival. It sounds strange, but tastes very good. Not visually strange...just looks like normal ice cream.

The weirdest thing I've eaten: raw horse. A delicacy in parts of Japan. It was cut like prosciutto and tasted like steak.

The strangest *combo* Ive heard of that I'm dying to try is a Bloody Mary garnished with a Slim Jim :)

In Chile, I've eaten giant barnacles -- dipped in a sauce not unlike shrimp cocktail sauce they are delicious. Lord knows how they harvest them. I guess they eat them in the Pacific northwest too:

What is slim jim?

The most disgusting thing for me here was chocolate + caviar:D Sorry, I'm very choosy with food I eat and I don't like mixing of salty and sweet at all...
Well, sometimes I can have a chocolate bar or some sweet pastry with a bottle of beer:)

Wow, some of your foods sound quite interesting :D
I might try some of them later on today :)
Btw, I tried garlic ice cream at a romanian festival in Transylvania
I never ate raw meat, and I don't wanna try anytime soon :rolleyes:

When I was 5-ish, 6-ish, I used to put butter on bread and cover it with sugar (as opposed to jam or whatever else normal people eat with bread and butter:p)

In Romania, countrymen (like my grandparents :)), use the the small intestines of pigs (only pigs), to make a sort of sausage. Of course they wash it a lot with water and grain i think, before stuffing it. The stuffing is a mixture of rice, corn flour made grainy thing, very small pieces of the pig's liver and some other stuff. They boil it like that and then they roast it. You would be amazed at how good it tastes (as long as you don't think about what's inside). :D

Very, very low grade beef jerky. Lots of grease and few natural ingredients.

Well, I think it will be okay with bloody mary:)

Honey and Cheddar cheese

Cheese and Apple

My mother, indeed, likes honey+cheese. I don't:)

A picture is worth a thousand noted ingredients.

LOL, I've always imagined Slim Jims in the hands of Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

..for those who aren't fans of American Wrestling, the "Macho Man" is an icon in the physical-soap-opera they call wrestling. It's not much different than Mexican wrestling. Mexican Wrestling - masked midgets = WWE

I had a unique chocolate bar the other day. It had little pieces of bacon in it. To my surprise it was rather tasty...but then again I'm partial to the sweet/salty combo.

not sure if you get them in the USA, but Peperami looks very similar.... they have the best slogan in the world....

'its a bit of an animal'

corn on the cob (not boiled) with honey :)

Ah, now I see what you are talking about...
We also have these things in the shops (mainly big), but they don't have a certain name:)
