    Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don’t have to share!

    Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

      Also coffee. It doesn’t make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn’t help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

      Mmm, salmiak… when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! 😋

    Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

        Then buy proper peanut butter and not the American kind. Natural peanut butter is a banger

        The best peanut butter has no added sugar, some grocery stores have a machine that grinds salted roasted peanuts.

        Peanut butter is not sweet though… Unless you are using the highly processed one with additives.

        Not sure if all peanut butter variants are sweet? The only ones I have tried tasted savory, and some even felt somewhat salty. Maybe some have sugar added to them?

    I’m gonna go with game genres, specifically roguelikes and rhythm-based games. They sound terrible together and yet, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and also Cadence of Hyrule) is the shit.

      Turn based + time pressure is just such an insane combination. Makes the simplest games insanely harder, escalates the potential for blunders and at the same time enables flow. Bullet chess is similar in that regard.

      Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It’s basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

    I always hated the idea to put beans and bananas together. It is a fairly common habit in my country, tho, but it’s a no-no for me in general.

    But once I tried a Nigerian dish that had beans, bananas, shrimps and pepper and I absolutely fucking loved it. Seriously, the flavor was from another world.

      Forgive the spelling but I think that’s called Egusi and the bananas are plantains, which are more savory than bananas. Really lovely fried!

    Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

      We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It’s a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.

        This is how I upgrade all my noodles. Everyone asks my secret to make them creamy and nutty. I tell them “Add the ingredient in your kitchen called ‘chunky peanut butter’” None of them believe me.

      Not too surprising, considering hot peppers and peanut butter are a SEAsian stable and veggie, bread and meat are fairly neutral ingredients

    Coffee and fruit juice. ☕🥭

    It’s a common add-in with some Tiki drinks with juices including pineapple, orange, passion fruit, and lime. When my SO makes something, he’ll commonly toss the excess volumes into a glass sans alcohol for me to enjoy.

    Peanut butter, mayo, dill pickle sandwich. Might not be too rare, I’ve met a few other people who eat variations of this but damn is it good.

    You gotta watch out though cuz all that mayo will sneak up on you.

    A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it’s a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

      I ordered one once and the waiter didn’t know what I was talking about so I just got a beer. He comes back later with a big smile on his face holding a glass with some liquid in it saying he brought me a pickleback. It was premixed. I shot it, it was a lot of liquid, and only once it was in my mouth did I realize they had used bread and butter pickle juice.

      In Germany, its called Milchreis and is a very popular dish especially for children. Rice (usually the thicker variants thats youd use for Risotto), milk, sugar, cinnamon

      Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

      And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.
