Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn’t thought
Orange chicken with a side of chocolate milk. I stand by this, even though none of my friends are willing to give it a shot.
Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Maybe with a little Sriracha.
Peanut butter and a slice of onion makes a way better sandwich than you would ever think too.
As does peanut butter and bacon.
Someone needs to make a peanut butter, dill pickle, onion, and bacon sandwich and let us know how it is.
I’ve done that one a few times. Credit to Fred Savage in Little Monsters for putting me on the idea. My sis and I probably rented that movie a hundred times growing up.

Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade).
I like orange juice with diet tonic water. Sort of shifts things in the direction of a sour grapefruit juice.
I don’t know if I’d call either of them weird, though.
My mom used to give this to us whenever we had a cold. Are you from the Southeast by any chance?
Nah, it wasn’t something that — as far as I can recall, at any rate — I picked up anywhere, started doing it on my own. I also like drinking diet tonic water straight. In general, most Americans prefer a very sweet orange juice — which I’d swear has gotten sweeter over my lifetime — and this ramps up the sour a bit.

European oranges skew tart because locals like their juice sour, while American varieties cater to the nation’s sweet tooth.
I distinctly recall grapefruit juice being more sour when I was younger. Unless it’s just my sense of taste changing. shrugs
Hmm interesting.
Tangentially related, I like adding Tonic water to sodas as a way of making them more bitter/less appetizing as a way of forcing me to drink less and slow down. Usually a 50/50 mixture and it effectively turns a 6pk of bottles into a 12
Date palm (its fruit) cut in half and peanut butter spread inside, surprisingly
Drink of water after artichoke or broccoli. Not sure what’s going on there but I’m not the first person to wonder. Maybe it’s a reaction to iron?
Strawberries and black pepper. You’re welcome.
Sadly, strawberry season is gone where I am and I can’t wait to try this out. This year, i discovered that coriander goes very well with strawberries to make pesto. I ate 10 times more strawberries this year than my previous average.
Basically everything sweet with hot seasoning. One of my favorites: Mango with Chili! :-)
One of my favorite grocery store salsas is spicy mango!
Currently I have a spicy pineapple salsa but that’s not as good because it’s “white” salsa, no tomatoes
Your Hispanic is showing
lol I take it as a compliment, because my country of origin is not known for its kitchen. :-P
it is a compliment XD
My toddler insisted on putting pepper on her strawberries the other day.
I laughed and said she was welcome to try, but “start on just a couple slices so you don’t ruin all of them”.
She said it was great, but I didn’t believe her, so I tried it. And then we put pepper on all of them.
Just tried this for the first time after learning about it from your comment. Pretty good! 👍
Feta and watermelon
Cantelope and prosciutto
Anchovies in Ranch dressing (make it fresh, you animals)
Goldschlager and Cuervo Gold tequila as a shaken shot (tastes like snickerdoodles)
Pancakes topped with yogurt and honey or pistachio butter
Georgian pesto is walnuts and cilantro, 10/10
Peanut butter in a tomato stew sends it in an African direction, and it’s amazing
Deep fried olives filled with cheese
Salmon marinated in bourbon, touch of soy sauce, and brown sugar, baked.
Anchovies and capers on your pizza if you wear big boy pants
Red wine and coca cola if you’re 14
Candied pine cones and creme brulé is 1 million percent magic
Cheez-its and canned whipped cream tastes exactly like if you asked ChatGPT to describe what cheesecake tastes like.
I like apples and pineapples but not with pine needles
Peanut butter and sweet onion
I eat pb&o sandwiches then the local sweet onions are in season.
Peanut butter and pickles
Came here for this one, I was so skeptical at first but damn it’s good
Salt on watermelon, and salt on pineapple.
Also, cayenne pepper on anything chocolate - brownies, ice cream, etc.
And some dehydrated lime and chili to that salt and you’ve really got something good.
Isn’t that basically Tajin?
Yeah that’s tajin they’re not wrong though tajin on watermelon is amazing (or basically any fruit tbh)
I always squeeze some lime and grind black pepper on my watermelon. It’s great!
Bread and everything else
My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it’s good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.
Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.
Most types of cheese on top of hot beans
Corn and mayo.
