genius/mind-blowing food combinations

[ithoughtofitfirst]

About 2 years ago dh and i suddenly became pretty skint.

Now that I've adjusted (it took me a while) i've pretty much nailed the weekly shop and recipes so that we still eat well for roughly a quarter of what we used to spend. We eat a lot of soups, pasta sauces, stews and bulk a lot of things out with carbs so that we don't ... you know... die. (only messin'!)

I had some leftover rice once and threw it into bowl of tomato soup for my DS lunch. He loved it and it's now his fave. My mum then told me how her mother made her tomato soup and mash. Tried. Loved... Actually that might be his fave.

Do you guys have any fave food combos? Please share!

Mushy peas and mint sauce. Sounds gross... tastes lovely.

Shitake mushrooms and chipotle chilli (as a flavour combo in chilli, not just those two ingredients alone!). Both deliciously smokey - they really work well together.

Creme caramel with sea salt on.
Chocolate and/or coffee in a chilli.

Toast and honey with goat's cheese. Sounds wrong, but it's so, so right...

lime pickle sandwiches (don't judge me!)

The sandwich shop beside my office does baked potatoes with mozzarella, cheddar, tuna mayo, pesto, rocket and black olives - it sounds revolting but it's so amazing! There's a few of us addicted to it

Marmite on toast with crunchy peanut butter on top. Tastes 'extra savoury'.

Roast sage,sea salt and dark chocolate spread on sweet bread.

Pressed to soon with balsamic vinegar reduction drizzled over.

runs off to make lime pickle sandwich You evil genius, you!!

The best sarnie I have ever had was:
squashed onion bhaji
carrot pickle
salad
minty yoghurt
wholemeal seedy bread

Toast with peanut butter, then a thin layer of mayonnaise on top. Not healthy, but tasty...

Errmahgerrd toast, honey and goats cheese sounds absolute filth. I can't wait to try that when i'm sans bun in the oven

My mum just told me goats cheese is okay! Please don't let this be a cruel joke

Toast, butter, scrambled eggs, tsp of marmite dotted around on top of the eggs.

Butter, marmite and marmalade on toast. The food of gods.

Ooh!! Love threads like this!!!!
Kippers and Guinness
Sausages and marmalade
Nutella and ready salted crisp sandwiches (don't judge me)
Ancho/chipotle chillies and chocolate
Sausage and Marmite sandwiches
Peanut butter and tomato ketchup sandwiches
Crunchie bars with salted peanuts

Cold roast potatoes dipped in houmous.

I love all kinds of cheese and honey. Also a strong cheddar on digestive biscuits. Yum.... Honey drizzled on a blue cheese salad. Grilled goats cheese and honey. I could go on...

One that is probably a bit weirder, mushy peas with fried eggs. First tried that one in my student days.

Melon with balsamic vinegar and grated ginger.

Melon and feta is v good.

Candy Kate mushy peas and fried eggs are amazing!!!! With a bit of grated Parmesan on top too!

Nutella and ready salted crisp SANDWICH??

You've blown my mind.

These are crazy, how does anyone ever learn what a peanut butter and ketchup sandwich tastes like or think to marmite and marmalade would be edible eaten together???

tomato, melon, feta and salad.

peanut butter on toast with green tabasco shaken on top.

white bread dunked in sweet hot tea.
