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

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

[โ€“] anadem@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

[โ€“] dnvtr@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also peanut butter and pickles.

[โ€“] Discotheque@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Allllso peanut butter and jelly.

[โ€“] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Also peanut butter and stir-fried broccoli

[โ€“] FlashZordon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[โ€“] jonkenator@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

It's delicious.

[โ€“] pickle_party247@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] findorkotor93@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Alcohol and power tools.

[โ€“] Adiaphoros@lemmy.ml 2 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.

[โ€“] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] SonofSonSpock@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lol! Oh man, that actually sounds awful.

[โ€“] jargoggles@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 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.

[โ€“] zero_iq@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! ๐Ÿ˜‹

[โ€“] catbottom@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 2 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.

[โ€“] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 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!

[โ€“] jimrob4@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

[โ€“] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

[โ€“] ScottyB@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"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

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

[โ€“] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 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.

[โ€“] Redknots@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Peanut Butter M&Ms and Bourbon. Iโ€™m a heathen. ๐Ÿฅƒ ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸก

[โ€“] eldoom@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Cheese in pancakes with syrup.

[โ€“] Redknots@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] such_lettuce7970@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beer and OJ. Half and half.

[โ€“] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know who made you, but they should be ashamed.

[โ€“] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 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

[โ€“] Alto@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

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

[โ€“] goforliftoff@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[โ€“] IninewCrow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] Addfwyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] onlooker@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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
