I love a sandwich with cheese and jam, preferrably strawberry jam, but other flavours are nice too.

Who is up for trying it an telling me if I am really weird or you like it too?

Also, what other weird food combinations are nice and should be tried?

Cheese and jam is lovely, not as good as cheese and mango chutney though.

DaisyArtichoke7 · 28/08/2022 08:25

Not jam but I do like putting a bit on cheddar on top of my marmalade on toast.

My mum was a big fan of cheese and syrup, so not so far away. Haven't tried cheese and jam, but I'm willing to give it a go sometime.

God no, I don’t like any combination of sweet and savoury together. Things that are puddings or toast should stay there!

The absolute exception is dipping McDonald’s fries in chocolate milkshake.

Heck no

Annieisalright · 28/08/2022 08:26

God no

It makes me ill when sitting for cream tea with my mum as her husband has a cheese scone with cream and jam Envy (not envy)

PrettyIndigo · 28/08/2022 08:26

Cheese scone with jam, delicious

ApolloandDaphne · 28/08/2022 08:27

I love cheese and jam. It is a great combo.

Ooh, this is the best combo! Grin

Cheese and marmalade or honey.

MushMonster · 28/08/2022 08:31

I love it!
As a child we had it as a dessert, without bread, including in school. My favourite is quince "cheese" or apple "paste" with cheese.
Here the "cheese" and "paste", translated from spanish, means a jam that has been concentrated enough that it turns into a soft solid, just a bit firmer than butter.

BrioNotBiro · 28/08/2022 08:32

Mmm, cheese and fruitcake...

GnomeDePlume · 28/08/2022 08:33

Cheese and jam here. Homemade blackberry jelly.

Chocolate and nuts or bread/pastry is a no for me. I fail to see the appeal of Ferrero Rocher, pain au chocolat, Chocolate spread. This makes me the oddball in my family.

SurinatheFirst · 28/08/2022 08:34

Fuck off, I’m not doing that

Another vote for cheese and marmalade sandwiches, with butter of course, can't miss a chance for extra calories.

Wensleydale cheese and Christmas cake or apple pie.

Membrillo?

nzborn · 28/08/2022 08:47

My grandmother used to give me cheese to dip into jam plus other things like bread to dip into melted butter but my all-time favorite was open-wipped cream sandwiches and sugar sprinkles.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 28/08/2022 08:49

Well you can ask, but the answer will be no thanks.

DH eats cheese and peanut butter sandwiches, not trying those either.

Notimeforaname · 28/08/2022 08:50

My mum eats cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. I haven't had the nerve to try it yet.

I love wotsits or meanies dipped into spreadable cheese but thats not too weird.

AlisonDonut · 28/08/2022 08:52

Yes, cheese and jam or jelly or honey is fab,

Cheese and quince membrillo is pretty much the top of the rock for me.

Bonjovispjs · 28/08/2022 08:53

God no, but I hate sweet and savoury things together, that's right up there with the evilness that is pineapple on pizza!

Antarcticant · 28/08/2022 08:53

Apple sauce is great with cheese.

IvyPlant · 28/08/2022 08:53

Strawberry jam and cheese (cheddar) sandwiches are my absolute favourite. It has to be on white bread though. It's definitely a comfort food for me and takes me back to my childhood. I don't know many people in real life who like this combo so I always get a few raised eyebrows when I suggest it.

GoldPig · 28/08/2022 08:55

Cheese and banana toastie- try it before you deny it
