Strange Food combos...

I ask because I usually get a Subway melt with tomatoe, pickles & beetroot with salt n pepper and mayo.
My coworkers think I'm nuts. But I fuckin love a beetroot & mayo sandwich as well.

I like beetroot and tartare sauce.

Mayo makes everything tasty. It's like the bacon of condiments.

i HATE beetroot.

but i LOVE mayo.  especially if it's whole egg mayo!  i'll add it to anything!

Is there any other kind? 

unfortunately yes... and it should be banished...

actually, i don't mind a good honey mustard mayo!!!

Beetroot & Mayo =

Ah yes, good point. That's the ony exception I'll allow though, everything else is made of fail.

beetroot tastes like the earth...mum always buys it for bbqs and shit...its usually the only thing left!!

feetroot and ghey-o

none for me thanks

 

GTFO my internets 

but this is my internets

 

Then you fail at the internet.

beetroot and mayo is the business.

beetroot is fucking great on it's own though!

beetroot and mayo are gross both as seeperate entities and also as some form of hideous two piece feed

When I was little I thought I was dying of cancer because my piss was a deep red colour for about 2 days.

Totally freaked me out! I thought I had dick cancer or something.

We went to the doctor and had it analysed... turns out it was beetroot...

I was eating some of my grandma's home canned stuff and it being so fresh it affected my piss.

I haven't been able to eat beetroot since 

Its a winner, no doubt about it.

i cannot eat a hamburger u nless it has beetroot on it. beetroot FTW!!!!   oh and mayo is pretty good too.


so i vote yes.

I have beetroot and mayo on my subway too, its awesome!
Your co-workers are the ones that are nuts dave!

And OMGWTFBBQ? at Griff posting again!!

How can this simple combo be so contentious?


Beetroot + mayo is yummy. Unless you don't like beetroot (or mayo). How could someone like them individually but not together, as in a burger? People are stupid.

Cheers everyone, time to go collect that free beer now i think

Beetroot & Mayo FTW!!!

haha agreed!

Ive always been so pro bacon. Goes with everything

I've never really understood the Halal crew.

The pig offers so much.

Best mayo combo is whole egg mayo and wasabi.. OMG... i don't have sauce on my sausage anymore... try this especially with a chicken-spinach-pinenut sausage OMG... awesome!!!

FOC, Best combo ever! They don't have beetroot here at Subway and I'd only stopped boycotting it when I heard beetroot was back too.

It's not even that big in supermarkets unless it's fresh, but it's all about the vinegar imo.

yum.  i love those sausages!

lemon and vinegar are the business.

nothing like nando's chips with a shitload of vinegar on them.

 Mayo and beetroot together FTW

 Man I was gutted when Subway axed beetroot, it was a sad day.

 Magical moment in fast food history when it was returned though 
 

Beetroot good. Mayo good. Beetroot and mayo in a burger good.

But beetroot and mayo sandwich not as good as beetroot and cheese, coz beetroot and mayo are both sweet so it's yummier to have something with them that isn't sweet.

tuna lettuce beetroot and mayo sanga's ftw.

True, but a beetroot and mayo sanger is def eatable when you got no cold meat & cheese.

they are only delish together when mixed with other things

coz i couldnt really get that much enjoyment out of just beetroot and mayo on bread 

beetroot is whack, puts that red shit everywhere too. worst salad ever.

Oh yum, I just remembered beetroot and moyo on battered or crumbed fresh fish is the lick.  As is tomato n mayo.

Hell yes.... crumbed fish fillet sandwich with beetroot and mayo is THE BEST 

All I have is bad memories of beetroot

You cant spell beetroot without root! 

And you cant spell mayo without YO!



Therefore, beetroot and mayo is yummy. Or something.

Was it abusive?

Yes.

I've felt violated every time I experienced it.

A mate bought me a baked potato the other night and he was having a laugh watching me scrape it all off.

Just curious if we have encouraged any beet & mayo virgins to give it a try yet???

And now the guy @ work thinks I've rigged the damn poll somehow

cant believe there is a thread about this!!

You can thank me for that... wasn't expecting a response like this

Might even check peoples thoughts on some other interesting combos

how bout slices of camembert cheese stuck in the middle of cheezels!!!

Sounds like a goer

hehe, it's not bad!!!  bit sickening after a box!!!

sounds like pregnant people food

Found this a little amusing

oh yeah, i forgot to tell you.............   

Vegemite & Peanut butter together on toast. Mmmmm

Or in a sandwich with cheese, melted

Go on, shoot it down...But u never know unless u try

A slice fritz in between 2 large salt and vinegar crinkle cut chips. - It has to be bung fritz!

Tony does the same but with mettwurst.

Honeslty don't knock it till you try it. 

French fries in soft serve ice cream too mmmmmmmm.

Mmmm yes

Delicious! Also, fries with ranch dressing... and fries with mayonaise

i seriously can not eat fries without mayo dipping sauce anymore!!! yum!

khem, can we change this to strange combo's or somethin along those lines?

best dipping sauces ever are garlic sauce and bbq plum for chips.

cheers michael!

wasnt me

cheers spank then!

also, the greatest beef schnitzel ever consists of about 8 wedges of lemon squeezed over the top, heaps of pepper added and tomato sauce. so bittery good.

Was me, so you're welcome.

lemon juice AND tomato sauce... 

 Popcorn, chocolate and icecream is awesome.

 At the cinema I have one bite of my choc top, then a handful of popcorn.

 

 

That corny taste goes real well with sweet stuff I reckon...one of my favourites is microwave popcorn, the buttery, salty kind, then a shitload of icing sugar in the bag as well........

oh man, it's been years since i done that!!!  i'm having a movie night tonight just for that!!!

cheers!

i get that a lot. until people try it.

yak knows the score. seriously the nicest schnitzel ever that way.

Serving veal schnitzel (or "snitel", as one of the retards at work wrote on the specials bored last week ) with lemon is quite a traditional way of serving it, I don't see why having tomato sauce as well would be bad at all. Yum.


I make a rockmelon pasta with prawns and a shot of a particular spirit. It's amazing. If i tell you any more about how to make it then I'd have to kill you.

it's the amount of lemon (and pepper) that most have something against.


losers

when i had snitels when i was young all i ever put on them was lemon juice!!  yum!!

oh and liam, make me that pasta minus the prawns, but with crab meat instead!!!

ok. I will change the alcohol to suit the crab better in that case.

i'm keen

Same 

as far as strage food combos go i got them all

My fav is

Onion + tomato + avacado + choc protien supp + 200 grams rice + 4 eggwhite + 2 whole eggs + 100 grams cheese

Blend the sucker till it looks like diesel and fry pan it for 5 mins

Its got everything the human body needs & thats all that matters to me 

 

Oh I concur

Just consider it a ommlette on steroids 

Does anyone here dip their McDonald's french fries into their sundae ? Heaps of people I know do that ... it's horrible !!

Yep, it's yummy! 

I do

Yup another ice cream chip eater here.

Yep! Its deeeelish! 

2nites combo was egg whites & mince meat with kidney beans 

Cheese, cut into sticks & dipped in softened butter....

Mmmmm... Cure's what ails ya 

heart trouble??

You're crazy

 Mayo & BBQ sauce goes well together also.

 Especially on a chicken yiros

 

Chicken and apple with lemon pepper and lemon juice in a salad.

Penut Butter and Jam sandwiches.

Tuna and apple with lemon pepper on Pita bread. 

Don't knock it til you try it baby

Homer: As long as you live in my house you will live by my rules. Now boy, butter up that bacon.
Bart: But dad..
Homer: Do it..

Homer: Now Bacon that sausage.
Bart: But dad, my heart hurts.

dude mayo and bbq were born to be together...

on a breakfast tip try rasberry or strawberry jam on toast with cheese ( dont knock it till ya try it)

 

m&m's and popcorn... it is the shiiit. 

its sweet and savoury (trust)

I personally like cream cheese with strawberry jam on toast.

Also sour cream and chilli sauce and cold rice.

Or cold pasta plain with Italian salad dressing

Poached egg on toast with vegemite, garlic salt and soy sauce

Mmmmmmm salty

 

Apricot jam and cheese is awesome!

Also fresh apple and a slice of cheese.

When I was a kid I used to eat cream cheese and sultana sandwiches mmm I think 

Oooo porridge on buttered toast in yummy too.

My dad eats vegemite and honey on toast.

And now I am hungry.

 

I used to like strawberry jam on Jatz crackers.

I love chip butty's.

When I was little, for a snack I'd have a green apple and a piece of Kraft cheese! 


I'm starting to feel peckish too! 

i used to eat cabbage with sugar on it thinking it was magic spinach like pop eye!

I used to dip my lettuce in lemonade!

I've recently experimented with cream cheese on nacho corn chips. Not bad, not bad.

i used to just moosh sugar and butter in a little container and eat that!!!

I used to know some germans who would swear banana and avocado smoothies were the best thing ever... at the time i couldn't bring myself to try one but fast forward a few years and I reckon I'm now brave enough...

oh and i also used to eat my spaghetti with apple puree & grated cheese coz i always hated bolognaise!!

I used to have peanut butter on chicken too, kinda a poormans satay.

My grandpa taught me to put raw sugar in a lettuce leaf and wrap it up, was really yummy. Crunchy sweet.

same but different

Not overly strange, but when mum and dad used to go shopping and leave me at home I'd peel and apple and cover it in sugar and a quick nuke in the microwave...

My mum makes this dish thing, you fry the apples with like a pancake mixture then add sugar SOOO NICE!

I know, that's what reminded me to it

fritz and bbq sauce sangas!!!!

OMG!!!

Maccas fries dipped into Maccas chocolate sundae

Many a time has been spent extremely stoned and eating the above

I though this was s'posed to be strange food combos, so far apart from Catastrophics protein vomit meals and cheese dipped in butter they all sound pretty normal to me. 

 

I dont eat for taste

our bast used to have salad cream as a side to every meal, now its thousand island dressing, its everything, he dips pizza in it and all. Tonight, I made lasagne for dinner, and sebastian mixed thousand island dressing with honey mustard dressing and dipped his lasagne in it......

and tonight bast ad baed beans with honey and mustard dressing *PUKE*

This lady at work is eating a vegemite, peanutbutter & lettuce sandwich

Even though it does smell nice

my fave backed beans combo is bbq baked beans with a dollop american mustard mm tasty!

For breakfast this morning I had banana on toast, not very strange but yummy

try it with honey as well! or better yet, make a toasty mmm banana honey toastie

I reckon it's sweet enough witout.  Banana toasties rule too!

Haha  , I just came into this thread to write that! Cheese and apples together is nice..but it has to be red apples I reckon 

Re the beetroot, I love beetroot and mayo on a hamburger, but I HATE when the beetroot is really cold and the rest of the hamburger is hot. And the beetroot can't be too thick either.

French toast using pita, topped with diced homegrown tomatoes/sweet basil/ lemon juice

breakfast of champions

How is that a strange food combo?

french pita

i thought it was weird when i was making it

my brothers had a good laugh at me

how about pita with a smear of satay sauce and grated cheese baked in the oven


i dont want to buy food and am just using what we have for eats

Again, how is that strange food?

Is Egg whites & Oats considered strange?

YES.

i thought it was a winning combo, but i guess thats just me 

It's just you.

You'd wanna at least put some roast chicken on it too

But def not strange, basically just a pizza.

No, that's just plain gross! and wrong!

Read the thread yakky i have done some waaay worse things with egg whites 

The last time I was in Hong Kong, I saw natto ice cream.
Natto is fermented soyabeans, the taste and smell is akin to really strong blue vein cheese.

I like natto normally but with ice cream? No thanks!

I like eating potato chips with cheese and mashed potato on bread not so good for you though

not really a weird combo but i always get funny looks/comments when i do this... whenever i get a 1/4 chicken and chips i peel off the skin and wrap it around 3 or 4 chips and then eat the skin wrapped chips

Chicken skin rocks

mmmm "exits thread" to go and get chicken and chips

Back in the day our typical munchy food was a tin of heinz spaghetti with a shitload of grated cheese, sweet n sour sauce and LOTS of garlic... a quick nuke and presto!!! Twas soooooo good (as long as u weren't seeing anyone for at least a day after).

I've tried wasabi icecream... not disgusting but not good!

gum & nuts............together at last 

  that one still cracks me up


image not archived: Simps006.jpg

old school!

I know, and they are ALL gross and wrong!

Roast Chicken marinated with Coke (the soft drink)

Just made up a pot of Grits ( neer tried Grits before )  looking forward to a Grits & Egg white breakfast 

FOC!

I always do the same.

Must be the fanta in me coming out!

My sister makes that - havn't tried it yet tho!

My flat mate puts mayo on pizza.

Last night we made our own pizza from scratch and another mate put chutney on it before cooking it.  I turned my nose up at the idea but it was pretty damn good actually.

my mate jess does that to her christmas ham every year

opal nera and snow top

**shudder**

Orange & salt.

Leberwurst and True Blue on mini toast

What's true blue?  And if by leberwurst it means liverwurst I had gorgonzola and that on crackers t'other day and it was yummerns.

leberwurst = similar but meatier german stuff

true blue = Tasmanian Heritage True Blue (blue double brie style)

Well in that case we have similar tastes cos the gorgonzola stuff i got was actually called dolce latte which meant it was softer and creamier.

The polish shop near us has that liverwurst too, but i prefer it smooth.

yeah i think i do too, it was better the first few times, but half way through i wished it was smooth.

mmmm gorgonzola.... doesn't dolce mean sweet and latte mean milk in wog?

It sure does!  I have only ever come across it in mozzarella terms but that's what this cheese was also called, was pretty good too.

Grits and eeeegg, nothing but a peanut babey! 

The truth! I used to detest the stuff as a kid, but now I can't get enough of it.

lol my mate was tellin me he ate beetroot and when he shit it out it looked like his arse was bleeding.
dont really mind it, its not my favourite thing in a sarnie, soggy beetroot is wrank.

When I lived in Bucks, as a kid, our neighbours opposite were American and I remember they fed me peanut butter and jelly sarnies. It was gross.

Although in this country we refer to them as jam sandwiches with peanut butter, I used to dig this quite a bit when I was a youngun.

canned beetroot is fresh?


beetroot is what makes the HJ aussie burger rock

Is choc flavour canned rice & tuna considered strange?

Tuna and rice isn't strange, choc flavour is.
I'll usually eat anything, but that's odd.

Weirdo.

cook pumpkin.. mash it up.. and put teaspoon of vegemite through it.. OMG.. TASTE Sensation!!!

That's just being silly.  Did you lose ur taste buds in a fire or something?

For the next 12 weeks i wish i had

my brother has always been a freak just went to my mums and for tea my brother was eating

maggi 2 minute noodles with curry paste cheese and tuna mixed into it

but then again for as long as i can remember his toasted sandwiches have consisted of cheese,mayo,thousand island dressing and pineapple

I'm not sure how I feel about that one... it sounds bad, but then interesting at the same time

sounds awfully sickly

 It needs ham

yeah it needs ham plus the mayo,thousand island dressing and pineapple taken off of it

fuck i hate pineapple on pizzas and shit but i like pineapple juice go figure

It makes your squirty squirt taste nice, Just ask Christian from Nip Tuck 

 

A few weeks ago I had the urge to add cheese to some curry but they cancelled eachother out... each tasty on their own but together not tasty 

That sounds kinda interesting, what flavour tuna was it ?

I used to make that kind of stuff when I went hiking all the time. Bloody nice.

Seriously.. Who eats HOT pinapple.. or HOT pinapple juice... BLAHHHHH!!! LOL
I thought I was the only one who disliked it..

 Hot pineapple is awesome.

Hot pineapple is the worst thing in the world. Nothing comes close to how bad this shit tastes.

stryke knows the score

pineapple fritter ftw!!!

its not worth having a burger from the fish and chip joint if theres no pineapple in it.

pineapple and olives are the best additions to any pizza.

thats about it on that front.




i realise you are trying to eat certain foods to improve your bony girl physique, but are you really that stupid to mix them together, as opposed to eating tuna, then having dessert?

Olives yes. Pineapple on pizza is one of the worst food crimes imaginable.

Seconded

Olives, Anchovies and Fetta are essentials on pizza.


Edit:

And now, Jagermeister on Icecream.

Bloody beautiful, although I am slightly intoxicated already.

i put some warmed port over my icecream one time and my mum thought i was insane

pfft, moms...

Not a strange food combo but a strange way to eat food... the other day I made a bowl of cereal but let it go cold and soak up all the milk, then later I mooshed it all up and microwaved it and ate it like porridge... I don't recommend it!

i agree! specially with cinnamon and sugar

try tuna, soy sauce, two minute noodles and steamed vegies. YUM!

*Checks cupboard*
Check, check, check & check!!! Sounds good to me.

What is Grits

On the pineapple tip, raw pineapple just means indigestion city to me

Do it!
I usually cook up the vegies at  the same time as the noodles, in the same pot. Add tuna after draining, and season with sweet chilli and soy sauce

Hmmm, I'm having second thoughts. Can I use a pack of Mee Gorengs without utilizing the awesome seasoning & sauces??? Might have to have another bong and think about this one.

My mate reckons Whoppers taste better when you eat them upside-down.
Makes sense when you think about it.

Also
+1 for peeling of skin and wrapping around chips.
I also spread the stuffing on toast. Mmmm

\
DER use the seasoning as well! Fucking stoners!

Decided to use up some opened stuff in the fridge and came up with English brekky minus mushrooms
A hearty meal to top off a decent day.

It's a Southern US dish. Kinda like porridge, pretty tasty with some honey or butter and brown sugar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits

I have some grits here it is the breakfast of champions

Have it with egg whites FTW 

ali has 2 min noodles with vegetables, tuna, garlic, chilli (heaps) and then throws in a cup of chicken soup so it's like a laksa. it's pretty nice.

I sometimes will have mustard and rice if there's nothing else. Will throw in some black olives and beetroot if it's around.

I eat some very odd combos, you'd swear I smoked although I don't. My fave is currently rice cakes with philly cream cheese and honey mustard dressing mixed together.

Now that IS weird!

I wasn't overly keen on the tuna part so I made a wicked variation of this the other day...

small chopped onion
2 rashers of bacon
clove of garlic
an egg
soy sauce

Mixed the egg into the bacon, etc.
Then I added the Mi Goreng noodles & some veggies.
Was soooooo good!!! Wish I had some noodles left to make some more right now

I used to love making two minute noodles, drained and put back in the pot, then throw in the dry seasoning (not all of it) and put back on the heat and stir through an egg so it was like seasoned scrambled noodles. mmmm mmmm, prawn seasoning was the best.

I love to make pasta dishes, such as:

Spaghetti, Tuna seared in balsamic vinegar, garlic, oil, italian herbs, and a bit of lemon juice 

Spaghetti (or Fettuccine), Chicken breast, ham, cream, garlic, basil pesto, italian herbs and wholegrain mustard

Macaroni bake with Macaroni (duh!), bacon, onion, tomato soup (condensed), milk and cheese

and of course I will always heart Spaghetti Bolognese!

Isn't this the strange food combo thread?

Not a food combo but it is a bit strange I think.
I like eating the funny tasting almonds. I think they are either under-developed or starting to go a bit off.
They have a wierd, unique flavour.

Strange eating habits.... I don't like cold chicken or hot tuna, but I do like hot chicken and cold tuna!

i don't think i've ever had tuna heated up.

makes me ill thinking about it. love it cold though.

not even in tuna mornay or a tuna pasta dish?

ah well i take that back.

i meant more on its own though. can't say i've ever had the thought to warm it.

I think they may have trace amounts of cyanide in them in that state hey? Could explain the bitterness...

A steak of tuna seared lightly on both sides is yumo, not as nice as salmon but still is yumo

In regards to tinned tuna though, i only really like it in hot dishes or if I have it cold it has to come in a flavour john west tin like tuna with spicy tomato and onion. Then i mix it in a salad and its great!

i love tuna straight from the can.

or with a dash of vinegar and salt and pepper mixed through.

anything with heinz salad cream.. even xmas mince pie.. u have to love salad cream though i guess

What is salad cream? I heard a bunch of Irish people saying they loved it and they'd grown up on it. Is it like mayo or something?

"i like to eat rice cakes and listen to classical music"  Buck65

Yeah but you're english ... you're supposed to be weird ;p

hmm, u can use it like mayo, but it has a sorta more sour taste, but not sour if you get me. you probs have to try it and see lol, it top quality though

It's like Mayo but tastes slightly different. Not a fan.

Yep salad cream sucks! They eat it over here too...

Most mayo is disgusting as well. Full egg yolk or FO!

Dissing the salad cream, tssk lol.

Your mayo over here tastes funny, can you get helmans mayo here??

if you look around you might be able to get some thommys

never had that, u seeen that in london like?

nah but my missus loves it, rates it over hellmans. she bought back 6 tubes of it from serbia when we went there last month! must be ok if you need to smuggle 6 tubes of the shit internationally...

Yea it's big in europe, pretty good too.   Nice n creamy.

Apple and Walnut Salad with Apple Sauce and cottage cheese.... mmmm

that was my aunties specialty

i used to eat spaghetti with apple sauce!

this morning i had a fried egg on a crumpet... not exactly strange, but it was fucking good!

I used to eat apple and cheese sandwiches and my grandpa used to eat marmalade and cheese on biscuits 

My mum used to try to feed us hippy versions of real food and the worst ever was a wholemeal "pizza" which had vegetables like broccolli on it and no cheese and no tomato sauce... it was soooo not a pizza!

She used to feed my brother and sister toast with avocado and yeast on it 

Im so in love with Apple Sauce atm, next im going to have apple sauce and Nutella on toasted rye Pita 

Thats to cure my sugar craving on a Friday afternoon 

Sounds horrible to be honest

Now that is strange!! What does yeast taste like? I have only had it in bread or beer form.

It tasted dry!

It was in flake form and I sometimes ate some sprinkled on miso toast (like vegemite toast but for hippies!)

If miso toast tasted like miso soup, I'd be down for that! 

It definitely doesn't taste as good as miso soup! 

I love miso but I've never actually bought it coz I don't know the best brands or types 

Apricot jam and cheese on toast is good, and eating cheese with an apple, mmmmm, that used to be my after school snack.

So aussies, does vegemite just taste like marmite? because I like marmite so I imagine I'll like vegemite if it tastes similar?

I suppose this question sucks if youv'e never had marmite, so cant compare...

vegemite > marmite

I've not eaten marmite, but I'd say Vegemite is more like Promite. Another aussie salty black spread.

my niece and nephew refuse to eat cooked vegies

they have frozen corn and peas with their tea most nights

In Australia you can get mainly two different types, akamiso (red) or shiromiso (white). The darker the paste, the more deeper & heartier flavor you get.

Kim Wang (Central Markets) has a pretty good Japanese section. They also stock instant miso if you cbf'd making the real deal.

That's why I'm confused, the miso we used to get was browny black... so is that the akamiso???

No, that is called kuromiso. (black)

peanut butter and salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches, just made one now and thought of this..

toast them first and then put chips in, just for something different and extra crunch

Is it a texture thing?

I admit I will occasionally eat a couple of frozen peas before I pop them in the pot. I don't know about having hot meat/pasta or whatever with cold peas and corn though! Are they under 6yo?

I always put chips in my sandwiches. Oh and frozen vegies are better than cooked frozen vegies, eeeew mush!  I like eating frozen chips too.

add vegemite to that equation and u've got a strange (but delicious!) combo. But the yolk has to be runny....

edit* I forgot the garlic salt & soy sauce. Yummo!!!

FUCK YEAH!
