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!

Highbrows it really is very tasty.

Salt and vinegar crisps and white chocolate.

Wotsits on toast,

Dairylea and cherry jam on toast,

Digestive biscuit with goats cheese

Salted pretzels dunked in caramel sauce. Oh yes.

High Brows - red onion, watermelon, feta, black olives, lime juice. Think it might have been a Nigella recipe.

Remus they are most of my favourite things. Yum.

Cor, this thread is making me salivate.

I don't think this is particularly odd but today, in an experimental moment, I made a toastie containing mature cheddar, Philadelphia, ham, spinach and sweet chilli sauce. it was lush.

Sharon- I couldn't decide between marmalade and marmite so I thought, what's the worse that can happen?! My DH thinks I am a weirdo but I have been eating them for about 15 years now!

Also, salt and vinegar crisp sandwich with ketchup and mayonnaise.

Beans with spring onion and ketchup and pickle on toast.

Quite frankly I will eat any combination of ingredients in a sandwich form...with crisps for texture.

Yum! Most of these sound amazing! Making me very hungry.

May I add:
Sugar sandwich - must be lovely soft white bread, with butter and granulated sugar. (One of my great-granny's favourites I'm told, so it's been done before)

Peanut butter & honey on toast (not that outrageous but still delicious)

Marmite on toast with granulated sugar sprinkled on top

Don't know if this combo is good because I've only ever eaten it completely shit faced bit here goes: pitta bread, chips, baked beans, cheese and curry sauce.

Mmmmmmm
Also, grilled figs filled with goats cheese (or mozzarella), drizzle a honey and a couple of drops of lemon juice over it, wrap in prosciutto and shovel it in.

Dark kit kat and walkers salt and vinegar

daughters school always used to serve crackers with cheese and jam…….before it became 'trendy' seems it's an old flavour combo after all!!

McDonalds fries, extra salty, dipped in a McDonalds strawberry milkshake...

Peanut butter and cucumber sandwich.

Peanut butter, cheese and marmite (my dads fave).

Mashed potatoes, gravy and mint sauce.

Hot mash sandwich. Doorstop bread, butter and salt and pepper.

Chicken and strawberry jam sandwich.

Apple sauce toastie.

My aunts used to eat sugar and dripping sandwiches - salty, savoury and sweet.

Cottage pie and coleslaw.

YY to Cheddar and mango chutney (especially Tesco Spicy MC).

I've said it before on these threads but cold cauli cheese and hot grilled bacon sarnies on thick, buttered white bread. Yesterday I had cold cauli cheese and southern fried chicken in a wrap .

Chips smothered with mayo, mango chutney & brown sauce.

@ithoughtofitfirst any pasteurised cheese is ok for pregnant woman :-)

As for the mixt (any) cheese + (any) jam or marmelade or honey, as it is as a dessert or on bread/toast, roasted or not, with or without nuts/walnuts/almonds etc... ITS ALL YUMMY! and it is quite usual in many many countries.

Once worked somewhere where we regularly sent out for jacket potatoes and quite a few of my colleagues had them topped with cottage cheese, sliced sausage & ketchup.

My MIL is the master of weird combos though - a typical spread when we have a get together at their place will include: roast chicken thighs, salad, baked potatoes, smoked salmon, baked beans, curry, grated cheese, lasagne, hard boiled eggs and over cooked veg.

I think she's probably just trying to cater for everyone's likes and dislikes but when you see it all laid out buffet style it's hard not to go !

Good-quality vanilla ice cream with crushed salted peanuts on top. Heaven!

Tuna mayo with Apple chunks and picked onions mmmmmmm

Sliced beets and feta ::drools::

Bread sauce and cranberry sauce in a sandwich (bit of a seasonal one)

I'm another sugar sandwich fan (thanks Nan!)

DH thinks I'm odd because I like pickled onion or beet root with cottage/shepherd's pie (think my Nan started that one for me too!)

Lady I used to know liked bacon and marmalade

I miss the McDonalds hotcakes and sausage with maple syrup - apparently not popular in the UK

Cabbage (white drumhead type) and marmite sandwiches. White bread loadsa butter.

ruby Sainsbury's do a vanilla ice cream with salted peanuts & caramel - it's gorgeous!

Chocolate covered potato crisps, they're everywhere in the USA and amazing!
