Food that shouldn’t work but soooooo does

[OhBeAFineGuyKissMe]

So there is the obvious one, pancakes bacon, maple syrup and blueberries.

Then the classics fruit cake and cheese - if you haven’t tried it you really should.

Peanut butter and apples.

What combination of foods that sound like they won’t go together but really do, do you ike?

Also fruit cake and Wensleydale!

Baked beans on toast with Tabasco and salad cream

digestives with blackcurrant jam (needs to be sour) and Stilton or mature cheddar it’s nice with Brie too

Marmite on toast with slices hard boiled egg

i love pineapple with cheese or in a pizza

My 3 favourites:

Toast, honey and scrambled eggs
Sweet crepes and sausage
Sugary waffles and salty breaded chicken

This is one of my favourites with a drizzle of pesto

I used to make marmalade and cheddar sandwiches when I was a teen. Not had one in decades.

@MNetcurtains what are balsamic pearls ?

You can buy them in a jar in supermarkets.

Trust me.

Prawns in mayonnaise flavoured with curry powder mixed with melon or apple. Just finished a bowl, delicious.

Marmite and pinapple
Sandwich

Cheese board with honey.

My dad used to tip a tin of heinz baked beans into chicken soup. It looked something akin to a bowl of lumpy germaline! I never tried it nor had any desire to! God rest his soul, he did make us laugh with his odd ways 🩷

Jam and cheese sandwiches

My old favourite- crumpets topped with dry fried with cinnamon powder blueberries and raspberries and a large dollop of thick Greek yoghurt or crème fraiche on top (thanks to hairy bikers for recipe)

I like Jacobs crackers topped with cheese and apple .
And cheesy Wotsits dipped in salad cream

Phillidephia with sweet chilli sauce as a dip with marmite crisps. Glorious.

@MrsSamR Bananas wrapped in bacon was definitely a 70s thing. I seem to remember it in one of my DM's cookbooks.

My DF often had fried bananas with bacon (separately, not wrapped), I seem to remember it being a thing in some greasy spoon cafes in London too. I guess it's not that different from fried plantain.

The whole seventies thing of sliced bananas with curry was vile too.

The 70s was a pretty lawless time for food so I do believe this!

Very dark chocolate with cheddar cheese.

Udon noodles with golden syrup

Kimchi and peanut butter sandwiches

The one that is a staple now but was unheard of a few years ago…

salted caramel.

Curried banana

Oooh!

You’re a wrong’un🤣

Pineapple Bacon and chicken on pizza for me 😋

Fresh pineapple with black pepper.

Mango with cardamom.

Dairylea on rich tea biscuits , I don't know anyone else who does it . The sweet and savoury just hits the spot .
