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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, this is surprising nice!

Have you tried coffee with light beer? (Lagers/pils, not the usual stouts)

Example: https://www.changbeer.com/chang-espresso-lager-wins-at-the-world-stage-for-fine-flavours-and-true-asian-design/

On the fence for these πŸ™ƒ

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also peanut butter and pickles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Allllso peanut butter and jelly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's really nice with vanilla as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

It's delicious.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Orange slices and salt. πŸ§‚πŸŠ

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Coffee and fruit juice. β˜•πŸ₯­

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Strawberries and black pepper.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A burger isn’t supposed to be sweet though…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.
