Head Tale

A pretty fun Ask MetaFilter question asks what are the most strange yet enjoyable food and flavour combinations you know? 

Here's a few samples…
– ham and peanut butter
– cheese and brown sugar
– lemonade with salt and pepper (popular in India apparently)
– lemonade with iced tea
– half grapefruit, sprinkled with cinnamon and briefly microwaved
– garlic and orange juice

The one main lesson?  Apparently peanut butter goes with anything! 

I don't know if I have any personal ones – Shea's a big fan of french fries and ice cream (and that reminds me of a friend who would layer his french fries on his hamburger rather than eating them on the side).  I always eat my pork chops with Vietnamese hot sauce rather than apple sauce.   Someone in the thread posts that they get weird reactions eating grilled cheese with ketchup but I definitely do that.    Going back to the peanut butter theme, my father-in-law eats peanut butter & onion sandwiches.  My own dad talks of eating ketchup sandwiches growing up (I'm never sure if that's a “we were so poor” thing or if it's a “I was a really strange kid” thing! )
