Can be food, tools, music, whatever comes to mind
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 on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.
Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon
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.
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.
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
Strawberry jelly on tortilla chips! The contrast of salty and sweet create a wonderful blend of flavors in your mouth.
Alcohol and power tools.
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.
Lol! Oh man, that actually sounds awful.
Eating a fondue in the tub
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.
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.
Bacon milkshake. Got to make sure the bacon is cooked proper to get some nice crumbles and it adds an amazing salty savory that really makes the milkshake flavor pop. Doesn’t work with all flavors
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.
Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don’t have to share!
