You’ve probably accidently mixed food together and came up with something that might seem like a match made in heaven, like French fries dipped in ice cream. However, there are plenty other insanely weird food combinations people swear by that are far from ordinary. Here are some of the food combinations that we think you should try out.
Chocolate and Potato Chips
If you have ever had chocolate covered peanut, you should know that salty and sweet combinations do work. This is why bittersweet chocolate coated crisp potato chips exist, Lays figured this way back in 2013. The saltiness of the chip cuts through the sweetness of the chocolate which somehow creates a whole different mouthfeel and taste that utterly delicious. Although the item is not available for purchase anymore, there where many others who followed up with similar chocolate-potato chip for instance, ROYCE chocolate.
Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwiches
The peanut butter sand which can be rather cry and boring at times, why not try it with some pickles to spice things up? The recipe for this sandwich was first published on New York Times Cooking which sparked a whole lot of controversy. Surprisingly, it was a hit, the peanut butter is viscous enough to withstand the watery crunch of the dill pickles. Or, as New York Times put it, “The Vinegary snap of the pickles tempers the unctuousness of the peanut butter, and its an unusual pantry sandwich for when luncheon meat leaves you cold.”
Milo and Rice
It might sound absurd at first, but Milo and rice is a combination that was birth from Champurrado. Champurrado is a tasty Filipino chocolate rice pudding that is rich and creamy. The dish in most cases would take a sizable chunk of your day to prepare, having said that, Filipinos got lazy, but the craving never went away. Hence, the creation of Milo and rice. Chuck a couple of tablespoons of Milo powder on steaming hot rice and mix. The results, a smooth, almost creamy rice concoction like champurrado.
The food combinations we mentioned, honestly tasted a whole lot better than what they look or sound like. The culinary possibilities are endless, innovation and experimentation is the only way to discover new flavours.
