the concept of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches disgusts me to this day.
Molé. Chocolate with savory and spicy? Weird.
But damn, does it work.
I do this Jamaican-style peanut butter stew, which sounds mad but is delicious.
Yes! I have made an African peanut chicken stew and it sounded crazy but is so good! A Jamaican version is probably just as amazing.
You are going to have to explain yourself a bit better (i need the recipe)
Sushi was rrrreal weird when we heard of it for the first time as kids. Now, I love it - the actual rice that's technically sushi and almost anything you can put on, in, over or around it
Fairy Bread from Australia. Sprinkles on bread.
Very common as kids party food.

This is completely normal in the Netherlands. Behold: hagelslag, it comes in both chocolate and fruity variants.

Na, Fairy Bread is way better then hs. Don't tell my Dutch wife though......
For your crimes against Dutchness, I sentence you to having all the stroop in your stroopwafels replaced with Vegemite.
Jesus mate, for the country having the ICC you sure know how to kick off a war crime like thatm
Every country has some sort of "out there" food that others are repulsed by.
I've had natto (fermented soybeans) from Japan which weren't terrible but had a texture I couldn't get behind, and I've had surstromming (fermented fish) from Sweden that is probably the most horrific substance known to mankind.
Taiwanese stinky tofu. I love it.
Not a recipe, but durian. I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago fresh in Malaysia, and though the smell was enticing, the taste was not.
Haggis. Really wasn't keen on it when I first heard about it. Went to Scotland and tried it, and enjoyed it. Would not eat more than one portion, it is incredibly rich.
Balut. Haven't not gone to the Philippines yet, but this is something I'm not sure I'm game to try.
Sauerkraut. I never liked anything pickled when I was younger, and when I tried it, I didn't like it. I think it was probably because it was from a jar. I really like it now.
Edit: How could I forget this one. So I worked in the West Wimmera region for a while, and then I was told about this: The florrie. It is uniquely Horsham, Victoria. My colleague is not good as describing things so it sounded worse than it is.
I was a child when I learnt of toast + sour cream and honey. From Germany. Before that I thought it only works with salt. Honey was not even on my radar I didn't even know of a radar existing.
Ohh being pre-teen was the time to learn new stuff!
TIL this is a thing in germany, I have been puttign honey, jelly and all types of sweeteners on cream cheese and bagels for decades.
Yea basically all traditional french "food"
Boeuf Bourguignon, coq au vin and steak au poivre aren't too bad.
I mean it's cherry picking a bit. Like swedish cuisine is a bit more than only surstromming
