The son of a farming friend of mine couldn't find any milk in the house. So he put yoghurt in his tea.;D
Chocolate and mint.
I'm pretty omnivorous but I cannot stand After Eight mints - my reasoning is that you wouldn't eat chocolate after brushing your teeth, so why would you eat a toothpaste-filled chocolate?
A very common recipe for spag bol has grated carrots and of course tomatoes are a must there.
Tonight's stew had beef cooked in tinned tomato, broccoli, onion and carrot.
Partner didn't complain and I thought it was OK.
This is possibly an individual thing, but
Isn't that bircher muesli stuff just porridge made with apple juice (and yoghurt)? It is in my house (though I cut it with almond milk otherwise it's too sweet). I once used cider because I didn't have any apple juice. That was a good day.
I have also tried orange squash on muesli, faute de mieux - it was at an audax control. It wasn't nice but I didn't care at the time, I just wanted calories.
**Or failing that, if I'm cycling from London to Edinburgh and back, a spot of whisky.
Kippers and custard.
Broccoli with anything.
Alcohol and oats are a good mix - just ask the Scottish.
When I was young, I knew that mixing stuff had good results for morning toast.
Peanut butter and jam. Nice
Marmite and peanut butter. Fabulous.
So I tried Marmite and honey.
:sick:

Marmite and marmalade (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=97894.msg2039199#msg2039199) on toast works though.
However, I'm generally of the opinion that savoury things should not be partnered with sweet things.

My mother seems to be of that opinion; it seems to rule out much oriental cuisine though.
Similarly, when I have the full metal breakfast, the eggs must be on the opposite side of the plate from and definitely not touching beans or tomatoes.
Did someone mention Marmite?
Can I remind all that the thread title included the words which individually are fine...
Marmite does not fulfil that definition :P :sick:

Cauliflower cheese, now that's very OK.

Although quite common, this appears to be a fairly recent idea and fairly culturally limited as well. I do a fair amount of seventeenth century cooking. A high proportion of ostensibly savoury dishes are garnished with sugar for instance, which we would generally find weird. But you still find that in some middle eastern or north African cuisines.

No just confirming my suspicion that one is a lone wolf amongst oddness ;)
Kim and I both detest marmite :sick:
Did someone mention Marmite?I think people only pretend to like Marmite, just to seem hard. It's like pretending to like drinking until you are sick or something. Actually I think I'd rather do that than eat marmite (and I really, really really hate being sick).

It's just salty meh. Or as a friend of mine once loudly announced: 'it tastes like cum' before realising what she'd just said to a tableful of people she barely knew.
Broccoli with anything.
Or on its own.
To be fair, I don't think Marmite is meant to be eaten individually - unlike peanut butter, which is at its best consumed straight from the jar with a spoon.

but only in a mug (and no, I don't mean the person drinking it)
Well, if someone wants to do a taste test between marmite, vegemite, bovril and male bodily fluids, they should go ahead and report back. Sounds like a 1950's public school Wednesday night.

It wasn't a blind taste test, mind.(click to show/hide)
Not at all. No 'shopping involved. A gift from No1Daughter.Kudos! To No 1 dot. :)

If you eat any raw cauliflower, don't drink Coke/Pepsi immediately afterwards. There's a very strange interaction which then occurs in your mouth.Not overfond of either but, of course, am intrigued to give it a go for the lols.
I have heard tell of a Canadian long haul truck driver ordering a coffee with a tea bag in it because "is good for eyes open".
I read it in "The Road To Muckle Flugga". Llewellin was teh Aces, so I will check out that Commercial Motor link, ta.
I once put grapefruit juice in my coffee. That wasn't a success. Look at carton before pouring. Look at coffee before drinking. Lessons learned.
I won't have bad words said about broccoli, I like it, though not as much as cauliflower.

Just be aware that most of the Llewellin LDDs from the CM reprint are in Muckle Flugga and the stories by the other reporters are (no exaggeration) complete and utter crap. Considering the quality of writing that they're up against, I suppose it's not too surprising.
Chocolate and ginger, to my great surprise.
I found Green & Black's dark choc with ginger not nearly as good as either of its components.Chocolate and ginger, to my great surprise.
In what form?
Dark chocolate-coated crystallised ginger seems fine to me!

*NOTE: I fear I may be alone in this.Yup. Chips without S&V are grim.
Indeed, he forgot to ask for egg. It's chicken, bacon, egg, salad, and HP sauce.
BLTs are a perversion. How the hell can you keep the bacon hot?
Chip shop chips with salt and/or vinegar. *
Turns chips from the food of the Gods to a nasty tasting mess :hand:
Chips, to be honest, are a lot better in theory than in practice.

I would be half the man I am if chips had not been invented!
But I'm talking nuclear stodge from the local chippy.That's the nom :thumbsup:

When I make a BLT, I've usually eaten it before it's had a chance to get cold.
It helps if the L and T aren't straight from the fridge though.
Understand that I can and will eat my own body weight in crisps (admittedly, as Moby's stunt double, I have to keep my svelte figure as I'm on call for any international DJ emergencies that Moby can't attend).
chips and rice with curry sauce and, on top, a potato fritter.
I saw one of my colleagues eating his lunch last year - a white roll filled with either pasta salad or macaroni cheese (can't remember which) and Monster Munch.chips and rice with curry sauce and, on top, a potato fritter.
Add some pasta, and you'll approximate my college roommate's recipe for "starch in a bowl"

Minced beef with tinned apricots. Feed to my wife when she was a wee girl by her dad when her mum was in hospital. Reportedly the worst thing she's ever tasted

I don't mind chips but they'd taste much better if the chip van at Long Itch had ANYTHING LEFT!And if it arrived an hour earlier. Or maybe two hours earlier.

Chips though, after the first few mouthfuls, they're just stodgy, claggy potato. Oh I know, there's some superstar-chef somewhere hexatuple frying them in rendered humpback whale fat for extra crispness, and then slicing them them with an ultramicrotome into monomolecular wafers that you can inhale. But I'm talking nuclear stodge from the local chippy.
Mind you, I know stodge. I grew up eating chips and rice with curry sauce and, on top, a potato fritter. The curry sauce was rather daring in my home town, I think the chippy kept it under the counter.
Coming late to this thread. There is such a thing as a food wheel where tastes are diametrically opposite. It is the gastronomic equivalent of a colour wheel. Some strange combinations do emerge. Cold Lincolnshire sausages in chocolate sauce. Spinach and marmalade quiche.
Rather good actually..
Uhh? Cod Mornay?
Apparently you're not supposed to mix cheese and fish, but I do like a tuna mayo sarnie with some grated cheddar mixed in.

yebbut, if I was doing pizza with anchovies, I wouldn't put cheese on it. Just tomatoes, anchovies, oregano, olive oil and maybe a few olives.
I pretty much thought the base pizza was a the margarita, bread, cheese, tomato and then you build up. Not sure I've ever come across a pizza without cheese. But hey ho, you live and learn :-)
