If you love or despise sweet and sour, how do you feel about salted caramel?

Just that really.

Weird question I know, but it was a 2am thought

If you love or hate sweet and sour flavour, does that feeling match your thoughts on salted caramel?

I hate both, my cousin loves both. We were wondering if there is a correlation.

I like sweet and sour (wouldn't go as far as to say I love it) but not bothered by salted caramel, it's actually a bit sweet for me and rarely salty enough.

GoodVibesHere · 10/08/2022 11:13

Not fussed on sweet & sour, but live salted caramel

I don't see why there would be a correlation? There's nothing sour about salted caramel. It's sweet and salty.

Don't like sweet and sour, love salted caramel Smile

Love sweet and sour, hate salted caramel

ArticSaviour · 10/08/2022 11:17

I love sweet and sour flavours - also love pineapple on pizza, fruit with cheese etc.

Proper salted caramel is great. Most salted caramel is far too sweet and not salty enough

WotsitsFingers · 10/08/2022 11:18

I really dislike BOTH. The flavour just doesn't sense to me. However, I love the contrast in other things such as feta cheese with honey or sharp tangy greek yogurt and honey or sweet chutney and sharp mature cheddar. I also like marmite..........

WotsitsFingers · 10/08/2022 11:19

Don't like pineapple on pizza but love sultanas with Moroccan spiced couscous and chicken or Persian rice. However, hate fruits in Indian food.
This thread is making me crave wagamama!

I don’t like sweet and sour but love salted caramel

I don't like Chinese restaurant style sweet and sour sauce, but I do like caponata, pani puri, pineapple salsa and other foods which balance sweet and sour flavours. Also love salted caramel - far more complex and interesting to me than a purely sweet caramel.

Hate sweet and sour, love salted caramel!

Comedycook · 10/08/2022 11:21

I love sweet and sour. Absolutely love fruit in savoury dishes.

Not a huge fan of salted caramel but would eat it if someone served it to me.

mawofone · 10/08/2022 11:24

I hate sweet and sour: the smell, the taste, everything about it. But absolutely love salted caramel!

AdaColeman · 10/08/2022 11:27

Loathe sweet & sour, as it's often a lurid colour with bits of floating pineapple.
Love salted caramel, though often it could do with more salt added.

DownNative · 10/08/2022 11:29

Love sweet 'n sour and love salted caramel (especially the ice cream flavour!).

FourOclock · 10/08/2022 11:31

When you say sweet and sour, do you mean the Chinese sweet and sour? I love that, but to be honest to me it's a sweet taste. I don't like salted caramel. Salted caramel, salted chocolate, all that kind of thing does not appeal to me at all. If I'm in the mood for something sweet, then I want something properly sweet, not salty! If I want something salty I'll have a salty packet of crisps, not a piece of bloody chocolate Grin

Sandysandwich · 10/08/2022 11:35

I like sweet and sour
Hate salted caramel

TitInATrance · 10/08/2022 11:37

I like sweet and sour but prefer it more sour than it usually is.
Hate salted caramel and not over fond of plain caramel either.

CrunchyCarrot · 10/08/2022 11:43

I hate sweet and sour, but was surprised to find I like salted caramel, which sounds all wrong on paper but actually is quite nice!

GeriSignfeld · 10/08/2022 11:44

Love salted caramel

What I dislike is all these regular caramel flavoured things parading around claiming to be salted when they're clearly not

Comefromaway · 10/08/2022 11:45

I don;t like either

MasterOfOne · 10/08/2022 11:46

Love sweet n sour.... hate salted caramel.... love chocolate covered salted pretzels 😀

SequinsandStilettos · 10/08/2022 11:47

Love both sweet and sour AND salted caramel AND goats cheese with honey AND pineapple on my pizza! Also quite like adding grapes to tomato/cucumber/pepper salad.

Mymoneydontjigglejiggle · 10/08/2022 11:51

Hate sweet and sour,don't mind salted caramel although it wouldn't be my top choice of flavour

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 10/08/2022 11:59

I eat sweet and sour but don’t love it.

I do love salted caramel though and also love things like pancakes and bacon with syrup, pineapple on pizza, fruit with meat

Whichwhatnow · 10/08/2022 12:04

Do you mean sweet and sour as in chicken etc? I hate any form of sweet with savoury food so am not a fan - don't like any kind of fruit in a savoury dish or BBQ sauce on meat etc. I don't see salted caramel (or eg sour sweets) as the same thing and like both of these.
