What unlikely food combos have you discovered by accident/chance?

I made myself a little mezze thing for lunch - cheese, pickles, crackers, smoked salmon and good peanut butter. The peanut butter started to spread over the smoked salmon and being too lazy to remedy the situation, I ate it and liked it! Also added a bit of pickled beetroot to the salmon/peanut butter combo and liked that, too!

Peanut butter also goes well with apples. Although, everybody walks always from me slowly when I confess to putting banana on pizza.

Good peanut butter and apples was a favorite snack of my kids'. Goes well with cheese, too.

I took the wrong flavour rice cakes for my lunch one day but what I did take tasted so delicious that it’s one of my favourites now - salt and vinegar rice cakes, peanut butter and slices of banana. Tasty

Alicante, Spain. (Sometimes in Wales)

Not so much an accident, as I deliberately tried it. I'm so glad I did too.

Hot toast.

Warm salty butter melting over it.

A big dollop of Vanilla Ice Cream. One of the nice ones with natural vanilla seeds in it.

Ice cream on toast! Gorgeous.

I guess sugar and vinegar are components in salad cream so not totally alien. Biy not sure about crunchy sugar texture on a lettuce leaf

You have to try it. The combination of salt and sweet is out of this world!!

I would like to add baked beans smothered in mayo to this list. I had coleslaw on the same plate as chips and beans for lunch one day and the mayo ran into the bean juice and I have loved it ever since!! One of my favourite comfort meals is a big pile of fried potato, covered in baked beans, smothered in real Hellmans mayonnaise. Mmmmm

I think I invented doing curry in a Yorkshire pudding lol

Decades before it became popular my mum often used to get us a 'Vesta boil in a Bag' curry in the late '70's. One time it was snowing so we couldn't get to the shops so I got my mum to makes some puds (yep REAL ones not yet Aunt Bessie's in them days) and she also did us a boil in the bag too for me and my dad to choose accordingly which we wanted for tea. I went for a bit of both and so did my dad. Ta da!!! lol

I always have a fried egg with my burgers so the runny yolk stops the peanut butter dryness, I have the relish on the bun as well

I always leave the Yorkshire puds until the end of the roast, and then fill them with jam - yummy!

People do that here in the US, except it's fries and chocolate milkshake from Wendy's instead of McDonald's.

Its been a family thing for generations, having mushy peas as one of the veg with a roast beef dinner. It goes really well if you've never tried it.

The soaked over night ones are the best
