Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.

5

Rice, milk, bit of sugar, vanilla extract and two sticks of cinnamon per cup of rice, grated cinnamon for presentation on top. Best christmastime dessert after tres leches cake and torrejas.

3

In Germany, its called Milchreis and is a very popular dish especially for children. Rice (usually the thicker variants thats youd use for Risotto), milk, sugar, cinnamon

3

Hoo boy, chocolate, milk, and rice make a mean porridge. Check out “champorado”, one of my favorites as a kid.

Okay I’m gonna have to try that. Grilled cheese with mustard and apple works pretty well. Dijon mustard if you can swing it

My wife puts sliced apple in salad all the time. My aunt makes panini sandwiches with apple or pear slices on them. Apples are the best.

8

Sounds interesting, will have to try the mustard. If I'm feeling decadent (and have the ingredients on hand), I'll make myself a grilled cheese with pear slices and bacon on sourdough.

2

I would add the sauce just as the cheese melts, then put it back in to finish cooking.

1

I usually drench the top of the sandwich with it after cooking. Dont wanna cook out the vinegar and lose the tanginess of the Worcestershire

"Things that sound like an awful combination"

I don't feel that this one fits the bill. Why would those two flavours be awful together? Beef + cheese = good

3

It was just strange to me when someone told me about it, and when I tell other people they think it's strange too.

2

Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

Eggs on hamburgers are awesome, especially over easy!

I tried the peanut butter on my hamburger, and it is okay, but the peanut butter overpowered the hamburger imo. I'd prefer a grilled PB&J to be honest.

I love burgers, I love peanut butter & I love pickles, I'm trying this the next time I make bugers!

1

Probably my favorite burger toppings. The slight sweetness with the sharpness of the Pickles and umami of the burger is just...unbelievable lol

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

14

Not sure if all peanut butter variants are sweet? The only ones I have tried tasted savory, and some even felt somewhat salty. Maybe some have sugar added to them?

4

Then buy proper peanut butter and not the American kind. Natural peanut butter is a banger

4

Sateh sauce with peanut base isn't sweet and goes well with a variety of meats

2

The best peanut butter has no added sugar, some grocery stores have a machine that grinds salted roasted peanuts.

2

Peanut butter is not sweet though... Unless you are using the highly processed one with additives.

2

And yet we all add ketchup which has huge amounts of sugar in it

Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don't have to share!

12

My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.

It's delicious.

Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

10

Also coffee. It doesn't make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn't help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

8

Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! 😋

Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!

10

Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It's basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

4

nah, that sounds good. you're like halfway to a thai peanut sauce with that combo

2

A shower and an orange. You can just devour that orange like a caveman without worrying about the mess. Shower beer is good too, just because it is nice to have a cold beverage under a hot shower.

10

Not too surprising, considering hot peppers and peanut butter are a SEAsian stable and veggie, bread and meat are fairly neutral ingredients

5

Couldn't tell you the last time I had a cheeseburger without green Chile on it.

1

Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.

Strawberries and black pepper.

Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.

I'm gonna go with game genres, specifically roguelikes and rhythm-based games. They sound terrible together and yet, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and also Cadence of Hyrule) is the shit.

8

Turn based + time pressure is just such an insane combination. Makes the simplest games insanely harder, escalates the potential for blunders and at the same time enables flow. Bullet chess is similar in that regard.

5

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

8

Ya, anything with sour and sweet notes is gonna help the pulled pork!

6

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb

was that on purpose or by accident?

1

Considering how sweet a lot of pulled pork is, this is no weirder than every drunken cook's pot of chili con carne con cervesa con half of another cervesa.

1

I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.

I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It's a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.

2

This is how I upgrade all my noodles. Everyone asks my secret to make them creamy and nutty. I tell them "Add the ingredient in your kitchen called 'chunky peanut butter'" None of them believe me.

2

It also goes well with those incredibly spicy and somewhat expensive ramyun.

1

Pineapple pizza with jalapeño.
Tried it just for lolz, but it was really good. Sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeño contrast very well, and it was surprisingly tasty.

I always hated the idea to put beans and bananas together. It is a fairly common habit in my country, tho, but it's a no-no for me in general.

But once I tried a Nigerian dish that had beans, bananas, shrimps and pepper and I absolutely fucking loved it. Seriously, the flavor was from another world.

7

Forgive the spelling but I think that's called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!

Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.

6

Ok this one wins in my book. Thinking about this makes me uncomfortable, but I'm gonna have to try it.

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

You’ve discovered satay food. Satay chicken is awesome.

Coffee and fruit juice. ☕🥭

It's a common add-in with some Tiki drinks with juices including pineapple, orange, passion fruit, and lime. When my SO makes something, he'll commonly toss the excess volumes into a glass sans alcohol for me to enjoy.

5

I always get a cup of coffee and glass of irange juice when I go out to breakfast, the acidity cuts through the coffee, it's so nice

A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it's a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

I ordered one once and the waiter didn't know what I was talking about so I just got a beer. He comes back later with a big smile on his face holding a glass with some liquid in it saying he brought me a pickleback. It was premixed. I shot it, it was a lot of liquid, and only once it was in my mouth did I realize they had used bread and butter pickle juice.

I am up voting you even though the idea of that is reprehensible. But you do you my friend.

Sometimes, as far as I know, when a bird and bee love each other very much, or when they've had too much nectar...

2

I've seen a poor man's shandy recipe going as follows: beer, lime softdrink (Sprite or 7-up), and a bit of lime juice.

Beer and orange juice is partway there already, I guess? Maybe add some orange softdrink (Royal or Mirinda) and it'd be an orange flavored shandy? Idk.

Peanut butter, mayo, dill pickle sandwich. Might not be too rare, I've met a few other people who eat variations of this but damn is it good.

You gotta watch out though cuz all that mayo will sneak up on you.

Peanut butter on bread with cheese duritos. Sounds weird, but taste amazing. Has to be the American duritos, other countries don't taste the same for some reason

4

The fact implied in your comment, that you have tried this multiple times is somewhat worrying.

lemmy.ml

Not sure if it was a worldwide thing or only in my country, but there used to be a Coke/Coffee blend we had here. It sounds terrible but I absolutely loved it, they stopped carrying it a year or two ago though.

Ketchup-flavored pringles is also apparently not a common thing in other countries, but it is the best flavour.

Vanilla ice-cream with either a slice of ripe mango or vanilla with a dash of lemon juice and salt.

Yum Yum!

3

Try balsamic vinegar on either of those. The common balsamic combo is melon and Prosciutto, but it also works well on ice cream and a variety of fruits.

Reminds me of the story of 'Fool's Gold Loaf'

"It consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_Gold_Loaf

As strange as this combination sounds ... I will attempt it one day

3

Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.

Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.

3

Watermelon and feta. I saw a salad in the supermarket like that and it was surprisingly good together, even better once I made it myself.

3

I've only ever tried it once, and no drugs were involved but a Irish o garlic bratwurst, and a Hershey chocolate bar. Sooo good.v

3

Peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

Got to be salted, no-sugar peanut butter, and no damn sugar in the pickles either (seriously why is that a thing?)

It's way, way better than it has any right to be.

3

Soft ice and fries. Tastes like waffles. Now you could just get waffles, but if you want a surprise then this is something to try.

2

Bacon milkshake. Got to make sure the bacon is cooked proper to get some nice crumbles and it adds an amazing salty savory that really makes the milkshake flavor pop. Doesn't work with all flavors
