what weird foods do you like to eat together?

melted chocolate and chips (french fries for the americans among us) rocks.
Posted by Sul, 10:21, 28th January 2003:
 
I used to take chocolate spread and cucumber sandwiches to school with me (perhaps kicksarting my hate for sweet foods now). Other than that I have no weird food combinations at the moment that I can think off.

sandwiches are...cheese and jampolony and marmalade
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:49, 28th January 2003:
 
Cheese and jam sandwiches. As big bernard would say...beautiful!
Posted by ilovebeerme, 11:38, 28th January 2003:
 
Peanut Butter and Cheese but you can feel your arteries hardening as you eat it.

Peanut butter and pickled onions on toast are amazing.

Coke and Fresh Orange.

I've not had any of these for ages....

Pasta and Salt.

A big bowl of plain pasta with about 2 big spoonfulls of salt on it......

Ohhh I'm starving...
Posted by chandler, 12:02, 28th January 2003:
 
mmm pasta and salt is good, if a little bit bad for you :D
Posted by Rosie, 12:03, 28th January 2003:
 
Yeah! I am addicted to salt. I have it on everything. I even put salt on my crisps - coz they don't put enough on them in the first place.
Posted by cal, 12:24, 28th January 2003:
 
ouch - you'll be the first iamcal death :/

anyone tried orange juice and milk mixed together?
Posted by Rosie, 12:30, 28th January 2003:
 
Wouldn't that curdle? Sounds revolting!
Posted by cal, 12:36, 28th January 2003:
 
yeah - i don't think it's possible to drink without vomiting
Posted by chandler, 12:39, 28th January 2003:
 
Rosie - I sometimes put salt in crisps. we are going to die young

Mayo and Ketchup mix together for yummy sauce for French Fries
Tuna w/ bolied eggs, relish, mustard and mayo
Tuna and Mac & Cheese
Rice with Cream of Mushroom Soup w/ Green Beans
Posted by cal, 13:11, 28th January 2003:
 
mayo + ketchup = thousand island dressing
Posted by chris, 13:13, 28th January 2003:
 
I'm with November on that - I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches... but the bread has to be fried too...

I like putting jam on pizza bases, then putting gummy bears and haribo on top and putting them through the pizza oven... mmmmmmmmm :)
Posted by Sul, 13:24, 28th January 2003:
 
mayo + ketchup = delicious
mayo + salad cream = even better
Posted by Sul, 13:34, 28th January 2003:
 
that was supposed to be 'salad cream + kethup = even better' whoops
Posted by Sul, 13:34, 28th January 2003:

One of the blokes i work with starts the day with the following tempting sandwich:

White roll
Butter
Sausage
Bacon
Mushrooms
Brown sauce
Mustard
Posted by Sul, 13:47, 28th January 2003:
 
Sounds like my breakfast when I get one

White roll
Butter
Sausage
Bacon
Brown sauce
Posted by MonkeyArmada, 13:56, 28th January 2003:
 
U gotta try Penut M&Ms mixed in with Hula Hoops. ohhh
Posted by Victor Menendez, 13:59, 28th January 2003:
 
yeah my issue with the sandwich was the presence of mustard. that can't be right can it?

meanwhile, two years ago in norway, we invented the perfect pot-noodle here comes the recipe:

Chicken & Mushroom pot-noodle
Sachet of soy sauce (Included)
sachet of brown sauce
sachet of mayonnaise
salt
pepper
tabasco sauce

mmm, lovely. terrible indigestion but lovely all the same.
Posted by Rosie, 14:43, 28th January 2003:
 
If I'm feeling ill with a cold, then I make myself tomato soup with mash. It has to be real mash potato and not that smash shit. A big bowl of soup with a medium-ish blob of mash in the middle covered in salt really warms you up when your feeling rough.
Posted by cal, 15:21, 28th January 2003:
 
it's just salt salt salt with you
Posted by angel_mouse, 15:58, 28th January 2003:
 
im going to a conferencey type thing about salt in diets tomorrow. on the invitation it says 'a tasty, low-salt meal will be served.' The temptation to take a salt mill and put salt over everything is immense.

Ever tried dark chocolate and salt? mmmmmm.

oh, and bacon and maple syrup, but i dont think thats so unusual.
Posted by chandler, 15:59, 28th January 2003:
 
take the salt!
Posted by Rosie, 16:05, 28th January 2003:
 
I don't eat anything without it. I know its bad for your insides but everything tastes so much better smothered in salt!

I put salt on my toast which drives my flatmate mad. I put salt on my sandwiches, on my crumpets, in my gravy. I don't put salt in my frosties though, coz that would taste shit.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 16:15, 28th January 2003:
 
not too good in water either.

Salt is very yummy. I used to pour it in my hand and eat it like that. My mom would hide the salt from me. She asked the Dr about it and he said it wasn't all that bad, but then again I do have Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)

Posted by chandler, 22:28, 28th January 2003:
 
Rosie? do you smoke. cos people who smoke tend to need salt cos they have killed off most of their tastebuds. You really shouldnt need it on toast or any other bread products.
Posted by Grim..., 18:13, 29th January 2003:
 
Marmite and Mustard
Jam and Hot Chilli Sauce =]
Sugar Puff and Banana Sandwiches.

Actually I put hot sauce on anything.

went to the thing about salt at the house of commons.
am now scared of salt.
im sitting in a circle of black pepper to ward off evil salt spirits. they'll get me and kill me, they will.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 08:40, 30th January 2003:
 
thing about salt at the house of commons?
Posted by Rosie, 09:25, 30th January 2003:
 
Chay - yeah I do smoke. Maybe I have no tastebuds then.

angel mouse - got any good news about eating a bucket of salt a day?
Posted by chandler, 10:44, 30th January 2003:
 
well the salt is the least of your worries then rosie ;)

My mum said that the chef at the residential centre they used to run, smoked and would add masses of salt to everything cos he couldnt taste it without. So they had to make him stop cos no one else could eat the food!
Posted by MonkeyArmada, 10:52, 30th January 2003:
 
angel_mouse, life is scary when your haunted by condiments. :O
Posted by Uncle Moc, 12:13, 30th January 2003:
 
i once made a stir fry, but i didn't realise someone had chuck an old tea bag in the pan, and so ended up eating an old tea bag that was stir fried with beansprouts and carrot and onion

it was well tasty, considering.
Posted by Rosie, 12:58, 30th January 2003:
 
Thats revolting!
Posted by RUSS, 15:19, 30th January 2003:
 
Try this,
Toast some bread,
cook some sausages,
put cooked sausages in microwave covered in cheese till melted thourghly,
put in toast.
this is the best breakfast food ever!
Posted by angel_mouse, 17:30, 30th January 2003:
 
cant say anything good about the bucket of salt im afraid rosie.
and yes monkey, it is scary.

the head chef of the savoy was there. just thought id name drop. Antoine something i think his name was. i dont think im cut out for name dropping as i cant remember names.

rice cakes are nasty with *anything*
Posted by angel_mouse, 08:23, 31st January 2003:
 
rice cakes are nice on their own. i like those snacker jack thingimibobs- caramel flavour.
Posted by iamloffa@hotmail.com, 00:25, 15th April 2003:

1. Potatoe Waffles w/ Peanut Butter
2. Celary w/ Primula
3. Chocolate Spread w/ Lettuce Sandwiches
4. Pineapple w/ Spy Sauce
5. Melon w/ Salt
Posted by 100% kitten, 00:42, 15th April 2003:
 
I also add loads of salt to crisps and just about everything else, and I smoke. I've started to use lo-salt as I can't manage without it, but it's just not the same.
Posted by jeffld, 00:52, 15th April 2003:
 
I really like food and it shows. I'm 5'11" and 201lbs. I don't know what that is in kilos. too lazy to convert it for the metric people. er ok.. 1.80 meters and 91172 grams.


1. Green grapes with sardines. The sardines packed in Olive Oil.
2. Crackers with butter spread on them.
3. Kiwi, especially when they are cheap.. 4 for $1.
4. Pizza. I like BBQ pizza - especially sausage onion and Bacon.


Rice cakes are disgusting.. I can force down the ones that are caramel covered...
Posted by 100% kitten, 01:03, 15th April 2003:
 
mind you, I'm sure smoking must be worse for you than salt.

i have fries with my soft serve cone.
tastes pretty good.

one of the wierdest combinations i've managed was at my place, when we were playing with our pie maker.

i decided that i like pies, and i like chocolate cake, therefore, i would love a chocolate cake pie!

wasn't too bad, really.


:oD

jeffld - no-one weights themselves in grams! either kilos or more commonly Stone.
Posted by chandler, 09:13, 15th April 2003:
 
are there 12 pounds in a stone? cos if that is true then i weigh 125 pounds. which doesnt seem enough
Posted by chandler, 09:14, 15th April 2003:
 
if there are 14 however then i weigh a bit more :D
Posted by chandler, 09:14, 15th April 2003:
