My mum bought some Mars bars, but they were big ones so I had to cut them in half. Only after I had cut them did I realize that the knife was covered in ... lemon curd? ;D

Sweet & Sour works well in sorbet, Chinese food, pickled herrings, salads and duck a l'orange.
Maybe it works almost everywhere...

Could have been worse - Marmite ?

Strawberries and black pepper?

Cheese and jam :P (I used to live on cheese & jam sarnies when we went hillwalking).
-
Homemade pasta sauce with pineapple chunks. Lovely. Honestly.
Black tea with apple juice (discovered when I had run out of milk...)
-
Peanut butter and banana - don't go getting ideas Hummers ;)
-
We went on a walking hol a few years ago and each day we were issued with lovely home-made packed lunches by the host & hostess. The first day's lunch included a sort of savoury flan with a very interesting combination of tastes. We were told in advance that there would be a prize for anyone who could identify the two strongest flavours.
It turned out to be mackerel and banana. It was really lovely!

Cheese and fruitcake is quite popular in Mrs. Wow's neck of the woods.

It is here too :)
Any recommendations as to the type of cheese and flavour of jam Mrs P?
I've got cheddar and blueberry, which doesn't sound promising...
-
they made some banana flapjack in the staff canteen. odd, but tasty. could be excellent on the bike food too.
-
I have been subjected to baked beans and banana by a friend; also tuna, pasta, and banana. He has a thing about bananas.
-
I too was going to say peanut butter and banana, sandwich wise that is. I have hazy memories from my CND/Long hair/veggie days that peanut butter and Branston pickle was a favourite too. But I was a bit weird then.
-
Marmite and black pepper on toast.
-
In the pub last night, we were eating various odds and sods off of the menu, meatballs, nachos with cheese, nibbles type stuff, and one of the things that someone ordered was Chicken with Chocolate and Chili Sauce... :o
It was ... odd ... I can't say it seemed like a particularly good idea, and wasn't necessarily awful either, just didn't seem to do anything for me.
-
I love chocolate with chilli, and the only worthwhile way to eat rich fruitcake is with a slice of Wensleydale!
-
Venison and soft liquorice kebabs. I though the liquorice was mushroom stalks until I started eating it. It was very nice but not something I would have guess would work.

My dad always use to say
"apple pie without some cheese was like a kiss without a squeeze" ::)

Christmas cake and Lancashire cheese was the order of the day when I was growing up in that county. Sweet and savoury is a world wide combination.
-
Strawberries and black pepper?
And/or balsamic vinegar...
-
I once mistook a jug full of chocolate sauce for gravy. It did not improve the mange tout.

And the gravy didn't do anything for the profiteroles either... ;D

The jars used by the makers of Bisto Best gravy powder and of Kenco instant coffee can look very similar to a bleary-eyed early morning caffeine seeker. It's a mistake I don't intend making again.

I bet it woke you up though! ;D

A customer was eating chips with mint jelly yesterday! :-X :sick:
-
Chips with apple sauce. The only condiment for chips, IMO, but you can't usually get apple sauce at the chippie so I make do with ketchup or mayo.
-
Chips and strong cheese
PB&J on toast, or PB&bananananananaaaaaa (just about lived on this as post-training food when I raced XC)
Strangest one I have ever heard of though was grated cheese in a mug of hot tea..... :sick: :sick: :sick:
-
Squid and black pudding!
-
Chips and strong cheese
Oh yes. And you can feel your arteries hardening with every mouthful :thumbsup:
-
Chilli and Chocolate's, Strawberries and Balsamic is a treat, Beer and chocolate also works.
Couple of weeks back I was working on a Thai seasoning whilst my colleague was working on Ice-cream...combo-time! Try something like Schwartz 7 Thai spices for stir-frying with plain ice-cream...It's a taste sensation!
-
You are Heston Blumenthal AICMFP. :)

If only...
Couple of days later I met a flavourist at an ingredients 'do' and the company she worked for had developed a Thai flavour specifically for Ice-cream that they were keen to promote (I'm not buying), so it's not even an original idea. :'(
Ho hum, back to the corporate chain-gang until I accidentally discover the idea to propel me to fame and fortune...
Sorry about the fiver ;D

Chicken in mole sauce is a well know Mexican dish. I had it in California and seemed to remember it being delicious. But I was drunk and ravenous. ;)
I once put coriander in an apple cake instead of cinnamon. It worked, but I haven't done it again. Cinnamon works better!
I think I may be the only Lancastrian living who doesn't like cheese with Christmas cake. I much prefer brandy butter. Yum.
-
banana mill shake & french fries
-
Go to McDo's...
Large order of chips & a vanilla milk shake..
Dips the chips in the shake and eat :)
If it's McD's, the fries probably contain a higher percentage of sugar than the shake...
-
Sardine and mature chedder sandwich
-
Sausages and marmalade.

Pub nibbles - try this combo:
Bacon frazzles and cashew nuts.
-
Strawberries with black pepper.
-
Mackeral and ketchup sandwiches... ;D
-
Dipping twqiglets in Guiness. Hmmmm.

Twiglets always remind me of that Mr Bean sketch: dipping bits of stick in marmite ;D

Peanut butter, avocado and mustard sandwiches.
Pernod & coke
Guiness & tomato juice (only joking)
-
Americans think that Ice-Cream on Root Beer (Root Beer Float) doesn't actually taste bad.
I took my American colleagues slightly by surprise when I immediately gobbed my first mouthful out onto the pavement (where it belongs).
-
cottage cheese and sweet chilli sauce. In a bagel. Yum
-
Strawberries and black pepper?
Strawberries and a decent balsamic vineger (none of this cheap supermarket crap mind you)... :P
-
Fruit salad with lime or lemon juice and chili sauce or ground dried chili. Yum! This is very commonplace in Mexico, so I can't claim to have invented it. Most people in this country seem to go "urgh!" at the suggestion but it's really very tasty.
Also, on a similar theme, cold lager with chili sauce, worcestershire sauce* and lime juice in a salt-rimmed glass. This is known as a "michelada". Delicious and refreshing on a hot day.
* known as salsa Ingles ("English sauce") in Mexico

Most of the root beer you find over here tastes like very sweet mouthwash. Perhaps there's better stuff, but I'm not a huge fan either.

Grilled salmon with lemon & ginger on a bed of aloo bargi (potato stir fry). Yumm. Just waiting for the bargi to get done before I tuck in.
-
Marmite on toast with a banana mashed on top.
-

Was it Kipling who said something or other about eggs without salt and pepper being like "a kiss without a moustache" ?
Or have I got that seriously wrong. I mean, what on earth does that say about dear old Rudyard?
edit: mind you, he seemed to have a lot of respect for those Patan types, and we all know what they get up to...
-
Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup
Cheese and Pataks hot mango (or lime) pickle sandwiches
Christmas pudding and Stilton

When Little Cudzo was something like 4 months old and just starting to eat solids, I was feeding him a banana one day when he started gesturing excitedly at something green on the table. It was dill, so I gave him some and he wanted more. He ate alternate mouthfuls of banana and dill. I tried it too and it's surprisingly good.
-

One memorable morning I thought the vending machine had done it's usual and given me milk without the coffe. I stirred in some coffee granules. I cannot recommend Chicken soup with coffee. :sick:

Strange combinations often form the basis of some well accepted pairings. Think of the oiliness of mackerel balanced with the acidity of gooseberries. Conversely the same fish where the oily richness is built upon, with a stuffing of nuts and spices(Turkey).
The best and most timeless oddities have, however, an elegance and logic that means their status almost seems inevitable. A useful principal to remember.
-
Crème Brulée and Leffe Blonde.
Beer doesn't normally go with sweet stuff, but this rather bizarrely does work amazingly well. :thumbsup:
-
Marmite and marmalade on toast.

Mole (sauce) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mol%C3%A9#Mole_poblano)

My wife was once making a pumpkin pie, and shook in a good strong measure of powdered ginger from an unmarked jar in the spice cabinet. When we tasted the pie, it tasted very wrong. But our dinner guest loved it, and had more than one slice.
It wasn't until some time later that I held out an unmarked jar, asked my wife "is this the ginger you used?" (it was), and told her that it was in fact garlic powder.
A lot of people still don't believe that ham-and-pineapple pizzas are good.

Mole (sauce) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mol%C3%A9#Mole_poblano)
I'm not a huge fan of the brown stuff (Mole Poblano - find it a bit sickly) but green Mole is the shiznitz. Needs to be eaten with proper fresh corn tortillas :thumbsup: Having said that, I do like the Mexican drinking chocolate that comes in a round shape divided into segments.
-
Fruit with just about any kind of meat. I was not brought up on this taste combination, but it seems so natural. Maple syrup with really good dense pork sausages.... mmmmmm.
-
Had this one yesterday at a restaurant that serves an Indian interpretation of Italian food.
Garlic bread, where the "bread" element was actually a currant bun.
The garlic seemed a bit missing too.
My son seemed to think it was the highlight of the meal!

One thing I remember making which tasted disgusting was a 3 bean chilli (in my veggie days), after placing all the ingredients in the chili, I tasted it to find that it was lacking a certain something, so I metally ran through the ingredients I had put in the pot. I eventually came to the conclusion I had missed out the chili, so reached into the spice cupboard, brought out a pot with a label saying chili powder on it, and placed a good tablespoon of said powder in the pot.
It started smelling WRONG, I tasted it and found it to be foul. I check the pot and found that I had used the pot labeled chili to store a bag of ground cloves I had bought a week early to add to the cider that was fermetning away in the corner....
:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Egg sandwiches with red pesto. I ran out of brown sauce. Seems pretty good to me :thumbsup:
-
Has anyone mentioned Marmite Doughnuts yet? You know, regular Jam Doughnut - but Marmite in the middle instead of jam?
