Name a dish/beverage combination that sounds like it would be horrible, but in reality is really good

[latenight71]

shit on a shingle never sounded good . . . but chipped beef n' gravy sure darn tasty.

[58limited]

One of my favorite breakfast items in the chow hall when I was in the army. I make it periodically.

[holehogg]

SOS - watched a YouTube video that had the background story. Have made it on a few occasions since. Yummy.

my fathers favorite sandwich - chunky real peanut butter on hearty whole wheat bread with Grey Poupon, red onion and green bell pepper. i styled my own using same peanut butter and bread with boysenberry jam, sharp cheddar cheese and red onion.

Dude …. Oh dang…..

[SheilaAnn]

Before reading all the responses…… a simple omelette with grape jelly. Plain toast for dipping. This is a childhood memory. The eggs turn blue. In hindsight, kinda gross to look at it. But it works.

and I take my French toast with jelly as well. But I have graduated to blackberry jam.

[Draznnl]

That jelly omelette reference caused a flashback to my childhood. I used to have that for lunch so often that I was sick of them by the time I was ten and never had another one.

[SheilaAnn]

Ok, now that I have read it all…. And there is throw up in my mouth…..I stand my my grape jelly omelette.

Not a shocker: hot dogs in Mac and cheese

I got nothing else…..

[glitchy]

OK, I mighta missed it, but two offerings, both Sammies on bread of preference:

Peanut butter and dill pickle

Peanut butter and fried bologna - though I need to try this one again myself, it’s probably been 35 years since I had it last.

[latenight71]

fried bologna pairs with many items but with peanut butter takes the cake.

[TripleB]

Ate this when I was a teenager, but not since. Been thinking of maybe giving it a try again….

can of Dennison chili (no beans) and a can of chopped clams. Dump them all together, heat and serve. Easy peasy and tasty

[SheilaAnn]

NO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Dr. Pepper]

Strawberries fork-smashed with sour cream & sugar, served with buttered toasted caraway rye. Yum!

[SheilaAnn]

That’s almost kind of a Wimbledon thing. Strawberries with crème fraiche and brown sugar. We did not take it to the rye bread level. But I’m intrigued.

[Draznnl]

Smashed strawberries and sugar is basically a raw jam. You've made yourself a cream cheese and jelly sandwich.

[Dr. Pepper]

Yes, it's all about the toasted caraway rye, and the sour cream with the berries. They're sort of 'opposites.'

[jerrybell]

Haven't had potato cakes in a while, but I prefer them with jelly on top. My dad used to eat sour cream and jelly on toast. I like a slice a cheddar with jelly. Does anyone else do a slice of chocolate cake in a bowl of milk or tuna fish in mac and cheese?

[holehogg]

Done tuna in mac and cheese, it's ok. Slice of cheese and jam (jelly) is good.

[SheilaAnn]

I love this thread….. we should do a meat up pot luck and bring these dishes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤢🤢🤢🤢

[Draznnl]

Sorry, I'm busy that weekend.

[WillTravelForFood]

People keep saying that cheese and fish shouldn't be served together

To that we say, "tuna melt" and "lobster mac"

[Steve bradley]

How bout radish sandwich? White bread,mayo, sliced radishes thin, salt and pepper. Mmm mmm

[Dr. Pepper]

What? Draznnl No Jews in Florida? 😏

[Draznnl]

Not on the west coast it seems, Dr. Pepper

I recently had the privilege of staying in a nice winery B&B which served a gourmet breakfast each morning. One morning the breakfast included a salad. Yep, a green salad, as if it were lunch.

It was arugula, cilantro, and watermelon radish sliced thin. It was outstanding. I was hesitant, especially with it being beside bacon, Cajun potatoes, a fancy egg/shrimp/cheese scramble, fruit and red velvet waffles...but it really was wonderful. Of course, I happen to like all 3 of those so there's that. But for breakfast, that was the interesting combo for me that surprised me how well it worked.

[Sam6687]

Peanut butter jalapeno smash burger. that salty, sweet, hot combo is hard to beat. Saw it on the menu on a food truck and its become a favorite at home.
