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.

[–] superschurke@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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.

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

[–] ratboy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb

was that on purpose or by accident?

On purpose but I was quite high

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

Peanut butter is a massively underrated burger condiment.

[–] Discotheque@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A burger isn’t supposed to be sweet though…

[–] CorInABox@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

[–] jargoggles@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] zero_iq@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! πŸ˜‹

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

This sounds like a poor man's Welsh rarebit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_rarebit

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

[–] jonkenator@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

My grandma used to make this. We call it pink slime.

It's delicious.

[–] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] anadem@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

[–] FlashZordon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ScottyB@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Hamburgers with peanut butter and jalapeno.

[–] blkwolf@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Strawberries and black pepper.

Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.

[–] Addfwyn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure if it was a worldwide thing or only in my country, but there used to be a Coke/Coffee blend we had here. It sounds terrible but I absolutely loved it, they stopped carrying it a year or two ago though.

Ketchup-flavored pringles is also apparently not a common thing in other countries, but it is the best flavour.

Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Adiaphoros@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.

Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

[–] Redknots@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.

[–] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A shower and an orange. You can just devour that orange like a caveman without worrying about the mess. Shower beer is good too, just because it is nice to have a cold beverage under a hot shower.

[–] nishville@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You’ve discovered satay food. Satay chicken is awesome.

[–] zephyr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

[–] anadem@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Orange slices and salt. πŸ§‚πŸŠ

[–] blkwolf@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That actually makes sense if you like Phad Thai

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I've only ever tried it once, and no drugs were involved but a Irish o garlic bratwurst, and a Hershey chocolate bar. Sooo good.v

[–] Steam-Roller@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.

[–] goforliftoff@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[–] IninewCrow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the story of 'Fool's Gold Loaf'

"It consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_Gold_Loaf

As strange as this combination sounds ... I will attempt it one day
