Food combinations that shouldn't work but do...

[CuppaTeaJanice]

I just had marmite and mascarpone on toast. It was delicious! I'm also a fan of a custard cream, split in two, with a slice of corned beef inside.

Probably not to everyone's taste I'd agree, but what unusual combinations of foods do you enjoy?

I love goat cheese with Honey ! Yummy

Are you pregnant cuppateajanice? Cos that's WEIRD!!!
But I do like stilton and strawberry jam...

Sausage and marmalade sandwiches.

marmite and mascarpone is yummy, cuppatea, as is marmite and lettuce.

My DD bought me some ginger cheese for my b'day, it was really nice.

Cheesy chips with mince sauce mmmmmm....

Duh! Mint sauce, not mince

Fruit cake and cheese

Blue cheese and honey sandwiches

I like the sound of sausage and marmalade sandwiches.

dh thinks my love of chocolate digestives with cheese is weird.

Cheese really does go with anything, doesn't it!

My mum used to make endless marmite and lettuce sandwiches when I was a kid, so the thought makes me want to hurl now.

Should prob add that I bought the mascarpone to go on pizza with coconut and pineapple - is that wierd too?

Not pregnant, no. When I was I ate sherbet fountains all the time - didn't mix them with cheese or sausage though!!!

Oh, and I did have jacket potato with Galaxy melted inside once. Tasted like sweet chestnuts.

I said to DH that i am obviously pg as these things are sounding yummy

Someone on another thread mentioned Nutella and wotsit sandwiches and now i want one! (never had one before)

We used to have marmite and cucumber sandwiches when I was little.

Now I absolutely love jam and blue cheese on bread (which sounds even more lovely at the moment as I am pg so having to avoid the blue cheese...I know it will be pretty much the first thing I eat after I've given birth!)

fennel and orange

how did you discover custard creams and corned beef!!!

I was on scout camp, we were all drunk and that was pretty much the only food we had available!!!

marmite and cucumber isn't wierd though, it's a savoury topping with salad, works with all savoury toppings.

I like ham and jam sandwiches, again not that weird though.

Peanut butter and tomato sandwiches or peanut butter and tomato on crackers or ryvita lovely.

Jam (or fruitcake) with cheese is just the same combination as cheese with grapes, or dried fruit, which I serve all the time. Or the time-honoured cheese and pineapple. So not such an odd combination, really.

Sausage and marmalade I'm struggling with - a bit like pork and apple sauce?

chicken, mango, avacado, chilli and houmous - all together with jacket spud mmmmmmmm

Thought peanut butter and tomatoe was quite normal myself.

I've been told my banana, walnut, chicken, rasin and olive couscous salad is a bit wierd too though so who knows

yeah sweet stuff with cheese works well doesn't it?

Ditto meat and sweet stuff, traditional roast meats all have a sweet accompaniment don't they?

I have made sausages and mash with a marmalade and onion grave before which is very nice.

How about a bowl of cornflakes with milk and honey and a dollop of mayonaise?

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are lovely, as are marmite and cottage cheese (for a low fat version of marmite and mascapone!)

marmite and banana sandwiches

Marmite and clementines on toast

yum

Very hot chips eaten alternately with chocolate buttons. It's soooo good....

Roasted cheese with sliced bananas under the melted cheese

I've been known to enjoy chicken and ice cream, and pizza with chocolate sauce - tastes like cake
