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 with honey is nice. You need a good tasty hard one with crackers. 😋🤤

balalake · 28/08/2022 09:33

Strawberry jam though, not with other flavours.

Matildahoney · 28/08/2022 09:37

My dad eats it on crackers, think it stems from the army, all your energy required in one little hit.

Ooh mixed fruit jam! That takes me back. Can you still get that?

I think it has been replaced with all the "essentials" Strawberry jam 30to35 % fruit, just tastes sweet.

Sausages with a smidgen of marmalade. Blooming lovely

I love cheese and jam sandwiches - haven't had one in ages!

wheresthehope · 28/08/2022 09:43

Jam And cheese toasted sandwiches 👌
peanut butter and honey on toast also 👌

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 28/08/2022 09:44

Not jam, but I do like sweet chilli sauce on a cheese sandwich.

@AdaHopper is that you Nadiya Hussein?
She’s forever putting ‘odd’ things together and you initially think ‘WTF’ but it was like that on bake off and everyone raved about her food - so I trust it’s great! If people like odd flavour combinations they should check out her shows.

Cheese and jam is an absolute standard combination in the Nordic countries. Commonly eaten for breakfast or at coffee time where I live.

I was sceptical when I first moved here but it's delicious.

The one I can't get behind is rice pudding with cinnamon sugar, raisins, blood pudding and liver sausage.

Yum. Love cheese and jam. I also make cheese and jam parcels in the oven.

Ready roll puff pastry cut into squares. Blob of cream cheese, blob of strawberry jam. Pinch pastry together so it looks like a fat wonton. Egg wash and bake... Dust with icing sugar.

Omg I'm salivating having just typed that out. 🤣

I was so against this but then went to Naxos and they had some kind of fried cheese with honey and it was amazing. Partner introduced me to fig jam more recently, whack it on a cracker with the strongest cheddar you can find and that my friends is why I have put on a stone in the past month. I would blame the new baby but it’s actually my cheese problem.

Actually, this is a thing in Spain. There's something called membrillo, which is a set quince compote which you have with cheese. It's great!

Cheese and jam on rye bread would be a classic Scandinavian breakfast.

You have now made me wistful for some Havarti cheese.

SophieJo · 28/08/2022 10:02

Mushy peas and sugar on white bread.

Gymnopedie · 28/08/2022 10:02

Cheese* and jam toastie is amazing!

*Strong cheddar

Snugglemonkey · 28/08/2022 10:03

Chilli jam or chutney, absolutely but full on fruit jam is too sweet for me.

Cheese and chocolate spread is lovely - I wouldn't have it in a sandwich but on crackers.

I think it's Philadelphia (sp) that have a chocolate/cheese spread which is very nice (or they used to anyway).

My ex MIL once made us sandwiches of salami with Nutella. That is not a good combo

There is a time and place for strawberry jam.

This isn't it.

hewouldwouldnthe · 28/08/2022 10:07

Cheese on toasted fruit tea cake is gorgeous, or a hot cross bun.

Wineat5isfine · 28/08/2022 10:13

Jam and cheese is the best combo!!

A very crumbly mature cheddar with Christmas cake is divine.

Also a fan of McDonald’s chips dipped in chocolate milkshake 🤣

rattlinoldbones · 28/08/2022 10:19

feta, honey and walnut sandwich on (toasted) wholemeal. Preferably withWine!

thegcatsmother · 28/08/2022 11:00

Cheese, fruitcake and a russet apple is heaven. I have crunchy peanut butter, topped with apricot jam and cheese on toast. At sixth form we had peanut butter with blackcurrant jam at break.

MomwasCasual · 28/08/2022 11:04

Ossau Iraty with blackcurrant jam 😍

newtb · 28/08/2022 11:04

Potato cakes with (lots of) butter and strawberry jam.
