What things sound like an awful combination but are surprisingly good together?
Can be food, tools, music, whatever comes to mind

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.
Rice, milk, bit of sugar, vanilla extract and two sticks of cinnamon per cup of rice, grated cinnamon for presentation on top. Best christmastime dessert after tres leches cake and torrejas.
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
Hoo boy, chocolate, milk, and rice make a mean porridge. Check out “champorado”, one of my favorites as a kid.
Okay I’m gonna have to try that. Grilled cheese with mustard and apple works pretty well. Dijon mustard if you can swing it
My wife puts sliced apple in salad all the time. My aunt makes panini sandwiches with apple or pear slices on them. Apples are the best.
Sounds interesting, will have to try the mustard. If I'm feeling decadent (and have the ingredients on hand), I'll make myself a grilled cheese with pear slices and bacon on sourdough.
This sounds like a poor man's Welsh rarebit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_rarebit
At what point do you apply the worcestershire sauce? During the cooking process or do you use it more like a dip?
I usually drench the top of the sandwich with it after cooking. Dont wanna cook out the vinegar and lose the tanginess of the Worcestershire
"Things that sound like an awful combination"
I don't feel that this one fits the bill. Why would those two flavours be awful together? Beef + cheese = good
It was just strange to me when someone told me about it, and when I tell other people they think it's strange too.
Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon
I can't bring myself to order it, but we have a local restaurant that has a "peanut butter" burger. Everyone raves about it.
My personal favorite is to have an over-easy egg on my burger. I hardly ever get them without this now.
Eggs on hamburgers are awesome, especially over easy!
I tried the peanut butter on my hamburger, and it is okay, but the peanut butter overpowered the hamburger imo. I'd prefer a grilled PB&J to be honest.
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?
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.
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.
Toast with peanut butter and sriracha. It's almost like a satay flavour, really good drunk snack!
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.
Banana juice + hefeweizen = Bananenweizen
Gosh, it's been a while since I've had one.
Not too surprising, considering hot peppers and peanut butter are a SEAsian stable and veggie, bread and meat are fairly neutral ingredients
Non-Sugared Peanut butter on waffles is surprisingly good, it changes it to a savory snack rather than a sweet one.
Strawberries and black pepper.
Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.
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 once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.
The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb
I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork
was that on purpose or by accident?
Considering how sweet a lot of pulled pork is, this is no weirder than every drunken cook's pot of chili con carne con cervesa con half of another cervesa.
I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.
I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.
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.
Pineapple pizza with jalapeño.
Tried it just for lolz, but it was really good. Sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeño contrast very well, and it was surprisingly tasty.
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!
