worst food combination???

[cacian]

chips with everything is my worst food combination ever.


what is yours???

[Pompey Bum]

Great question, Cacian. This is more of a drinking combination, but en Afrique they/we used to drink scotch mixed with lait sucre--condensed sweetened milk in a can. The horror, the horror.

[desiresjab]

Ice cream and garlic.

[MANICHAEAN]

In the mess here we get custard tart with guess what?

Custard.

Anything served with with onions is rendered inedible.

[Helga]

I love onion, eat it raw or cooked with something else or just alone.

I am not big on my food touching so on my plate it would be anything that touches, I eat things separately. But worst combinations is cold tomato-sauce on white bread, or jam on white bread, my son loves these things and I find them disgusting.

[PeterL]

I agree with Helga regarding onions. Without onions most dishes would be inedible.

But I find the curry ruins most things. I can't understand why one would put curry on anything good, but it can cover lots of unpleasant flavors.

[Pompey Bum]

Curry renders tofu edible (if stir-fried). Onions are delicious, especially with garlic, but too much onion spoils almost anything. I say almost because--onion rings, mmm-boy!

Some combinations sound awful but are just great. The foremost among these are pretzels covered in white chocolate. They look and sound disgusting, but try one sometime. On the whole, salty and sweet combinations are undervalued in the West.

Do you mean that curry removes the toxins from tofu? That's interesting, but it still isn't a reason to eat either.

"Cake on cake" is common these days, with whipped cream laced with jam being an example.

and now???

[cacian]

Ice cream and garlic.

no way!!!
how is that??

[PeterL]

I once was drinking beer, and someone came along and offered plenty of ice cream. It was delicius, but I was bloated; I felt like I'd swallowed a football. It's either one or the other or a small amount of both.

[Lokasenna]

I too could mention anything-with-tofu, but then I'm not actually sure it can be classified as a foodstuff. I think polystyrene is marginally more nutricious (and a damn sight better tasting).

For charity, I once ate a ham, jam, mustard, custard and tuna sandwich. It was as revolting as you might imagine.

[Helga]

what about custard and fishfingers, anyone try that?, haven't myself but know of a guy who enjoyed that combination very much.

[OrphanPip]

I've tasted a few awful things here in asia. Prawn/fish/cuttlefish flavoured crisps. Chips served with sweet chili sauce and slathered in mayo. Coffee mixed with tea to the detriment of both ingredients.

[Iain Sparrow]

Nonsense.
Properly produced Tofu is calorie for calorie one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. It also doesn't have much in the way of taste, that's the beauty of it because it's very flexible when it comes to seasoning and preparation.

[YesNo]

and now???

After a hard day's work, beer and ice cream might be just what one needs and since ice cream melts and it is cheaper to buy it in the half-gallon size and since beer gets warm and it is cheaper in 16 oz bottles and since you might not have a refrigerator, it is best to consume all of it before too much of it melts or gets too warm.

However, now that I am older and can afford a refrigerator those youthful days are just part of my memories. I rarely eat ice cream or drink beer any more let alone together.

[Lokasenna]

I was talking more in jest than earnest! I know tofu is perfectly edible, and having lived with a vegan for a year I've understood that is can sustain life. I just can't stand the (lack of) taste, not to mention the fact that you have chew each mouthful for a fortnight or so to actually be able to swallow.

Blimey, that sounds pretty tough.

My doctor tells me to eat tofu because I don't eat much meat. I actually love curries, but curried tofu ain't worth dying for. Where ice cream and beer are concerned, though, bring it on.

Pineapple by itself is great.
But many people like to combine it with meat and I find that unappealing...
*ugh* Pineapple and chicken? Really?! :skep:

[PeterL]

I'll second that.
Smoked ham baked with pineapple on it seems to be a favorite among people who think that pineapple enhances meat. I am of the opinion that meat is delicious by itself, so piling on pineapple only detracts from the flavor. Pineapple with chicken sounds even worse, but I don't recall having been afflicted with it, yet.

[YesNo]

I can't remember if I ever had pineapple with meat, but the thought of it does seem strange.

What I am doing now with coffee would have seemed strange to me only a few months ago: I put a rounded tablespoon of coconut oil in it when it is hot. It dissolves in the hot water and then I drink it.

[mal4mac]

I can't remember if I ever had pineapple with meat, but the thought of it does seem strange.

Really?! Ham and pineapple is as British as fish and chips. Try it, a pineapple chunk on a cocktail stick, with an equal square of ham is the usual way of indulging.

[YesNo]

Come to think of it, fish and chips is also a strange combination although I was tempted to try it once when eating lunch with a British co-worker.

When I was young after a day of strenuous work, ice cream and beer was my favorite meal. Of course I had to finish the whole quart of ice-cream or it would melt. And a six-pack of beer does get cold.

I'm not sure I will enjoy ham with pineapple, but yes, I will give it a go.

I enjoy fish and chips very much. Although here in Canada, it is NOTHING like what you'd get in London at the pubs... I have been several times and would only ever order either Fish 'n Chips or Bangers 'n Mash.... heavenly... believe me!

If you have a chance, then try it. Unfortunately, most places in the U.S. have trouble with the fish and/or the batter. Fish used to be cheap, bit things change.

[kiz_paws]

Unfortunately, most places in the U.S. have trouble with the fish and/or the batter.Where frozen fish are concerned, I have to compliment a company from the USA who export a battered halibut frozen fish package. This is absolutely delicious -- it is difficult to compare to the wonderful London pub fish/chips treat, but hey, this one is available to us in Canada, and it is truly delicious!

Anyhow, in the interest of 'worst food combination', I have to wonder about these things called Hush Puppies. We don't have them in Canada -- thank gawd. But when I have travelled down South, the further down I go, the more places serve these.

To me, and remember, tis only my opinion for sure, but anyhow, there is something disgusting about eating deep fried dough balls... *gag*

Have you tried the sweeter red onions instead of the strong white ones?

[kiz_paws]

OK ... so we are on the topic of onions...
Well, I don't mind onions, raw or cooked in a meal.
BUT -- what I do mind, and it falls under the "Worst Food Combination?" title would definitely be those dreadful 'onion buds' ... these are onions that are deep fried in a batter and served with steak, etc. Oh my gawd ... awful in its worst connotation ...
I hope that this link will illustrate what I mean: https://www.google.ca/search?q=onion+buds+The+outback%5C&tbm=isch&imgil=Bo1Xj5toVWyeBM%253A%253BzO264UVjAm4wAM%253Bh ttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.handimania.com%25252Fc ooking%25252Fblooming-onion.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=Bo1Xj5toVWyeBM%253A%252CzO264UVjAm4wAM%252C_&usg=__6Iap0Rfqxcdj-I2KOYOUr0Ap4Aw%3D&biw=1366&bih=620&ved=0ahUKEwi5xKy2yMbWAhVP0WMKHViYAMwQyjcIPA&ei=cTrMWfnHMc-ijwPYsILgDA#imgrc=Bo1Xj5toVWyeBM:&spf=1506556534067

[YesNo]

I can't eat them any more, but I do remember enjoying "onion rings" as an alternative to "french fries" (chips?) with hamburgers. However, looking at them now they do seem dreadful.

I once (by accident) ordered a hamburger that had a fried egg in the sandwich where the ketchup and mustard would go. It tasted OK, but I don't think I will do that again. When I looked at the menu it did state there would be an egg there, I just didn't believe when originally reading it that any one would do something like that and so I unconsciously ignored the information.

I have meant to try this... why not? Your saying that it tasted all right has just clinched it. I shall indeed try this. :)

[YesNo]

It's worth trying as a cultural experience if nothing else. I think the one I ordered also had bacon and cheese on it along with ketchup, pickles, mushrooms and onions and stuff I can't remember. There were also french fries, which are called "chips" elsewhere in the world, on the side. Just order everything on it. And a beer since it was a brewery. I would have ordered pie and ice cream if I could eat anything after that. All this was years ago prior to my current diet.

[kiz_paws]

All righty then.
I have tried a fried egg in a hamburger. Delicious! Unexpectedly delicious. :)
The burger also had bacon, fried onions, mayonnaise, mustard and lots of dill pickle slices.

I will have it again, but only when extremely hungry, as this was quite filling.

[YesNo]

Did you have a beer with it? It is filling. I think there was bacon and cheese on mine as well. It was like an omelette with everything except it was a burger. As I recall it did taste good.

[Lemonade]

On things one should not eat together. Here (in the Netherlands), pancakes are not a breakfast food, we eat them for lunch and even for dinner. Combined with bacon or bananas, go crazy. But there is this newish fad to make pizzas from it, so a pancake (which is by its nature a bit sweet) with tomato sauce, toppings and baked again. The thought makes me shiver.

But then we lather butter on them and POUR the Canadian Maple Syrup atop -- omg --- this is LIFE! ;)

Now the idea of making pizza out of a pancake ... sounds odd ... but then one should try before one judges, ya never know, right? :)

Ours are larger and thinner, more like a crepe. And my secret is using beer in the batter, makes it sweet. Do try though, there seem to be enough people who do like it.

[kiz_paws]

I love crepes!
When I visited France, there were so many variations of them that I was in 'crepe heaven'! ;)
No, the pancake that I referred to was just that. Doughy, not at all thin. But SO good. *yummm*

[YesNo]

I avoid crepes, but they do taste good. It seems like I'm not getting my money's worth because they are so thin. Much like a thin crust pizza.

Nutella is a hazelnut paste with cocoa in it. One eats it on bread, pancakes, cake or *naughty* with a spoon straight from the jar.

There is actually a Nutella cafe in Chicago!

I found the cafe. It looks far removed from anchovies on the food chain. The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember ever tasting it. I haven't had "spam" either (to my knowledge). Unfortunately, I have had a slice of anchovy pizza.

I think it is better described as a pizza with anchovies on it. But I suppose anything that will fit and is edible can go on a pizza.

[kiz_paws]

Well, I don't know if this was hashed out before, but I truly hate the sweet sauces that accompany some Chinese dinners that one can order here in Canada. These are so Uber sweet, it is sickening!! I like salty before sweet, as a rule. And I am a fan of curry, so that is probably why I don't enjoy this. Yes, I have tried it, but oh no. Not for me.

It depends how you make it:
Mixed with ice cream and topped with cream and chocolate rasps it is delicious.

[PeterL]

I know the feeling. I like hot coffee, and I like coffee ice cream, but I can't stand iced coffee.

[YesNo]

I put coconut oil (about two tablespoons worth) in a mug of initially hot coffee to melt the coconut oil. It takes a while for the oil to become visually unnoticeable. I suppose that would be a strange food combination, but I've grown to like it.

At any given coffee shop, one can get those sweet flavors stirred into one's coffee (hazel nut, chocolate, even pumpkin spice.) However, I like my coffee hot with a little cream (not whipped cream) -- stuff called 'half 'n half' (10% butterfat, if that helps). But NO sugar and certainly no flavoring. Just me, je suppose. ;)

[Pompey Bum]

So I tried an ICED COFFEE...
Hated it.... :(
What is it with iced coffee and 'all the rage'???? It truly is horrid!

The reason iced coffee tastes bad is that it's being watered down by the ice. It's like drinking grog instead rum. I don't like it at all, but I do have the extreme eccentricity of only drinking hot coffee on cold winter mornings. Otherwise I insist on room temperature, which renders good coffee much more flavorful. No, really. Hot coffee overwhelms the tasting experience (although it warms you through and through). Lukewarm coffee is repulsive. I'm the only one who seems to get this, but room temperature coffee actually tastes the best.

I take my coffee black. As the truckers say, If I'd wanted a cup of cream and sugar I wouldn't have ordered coffee. Actually, that's not quite true. I add cream or half and half to hot coffee on Christmas morning (and as long as the little carton lasts). It's delicious, but I drink so much coffee that I would be fat as a tick if I didn't control it. Black coffee has approximately zero calories (you can even drink it when you are NPO for a doctor's appointment). The very idea of sweetened coffee is disgusting to me. Why drink coffee at all? Some flavors, like hazelnut, complement the flavor of good coffee but some don't. And NEVER CHICORY. Some people associate bitter chicory with good coffee. It's a total con. Chicory was used as a coffee filler in the post bellum South when folks didn't have much money. Starbucks told yuppies it's what expensive coffee tastes like and now we're stuck with it. Decaf isn't coffee at all so it isn't worth mentioning.

I drink about a pot a day--down from two (or three when I was a young man). Okay, I had a problem.

[kiz_paws]

Starbucks told yuppies it's what expensive coffee tastes like and now we're stuck with it.Ha ha ha ha! :lol:
But, having laffed, yes you are probably right.
I don't get my best cuppa joe at Starbucks anyways. We have wickedly good coffee at Tim Horton's -- now THAT is coffee as it should be! :nod:

Ketchup on bread with no meat. Or anything sour and sweet together. Those must be the worst combinations.

[kiz_paws]

Ketchup on bread with no meat. Or anything sour and sweet together. Those must be the worst combinations.I agree that ketchup on bread is not too appealing...

I am also not really fond of sweet and sour... unless we are speaking of Pink Lemonade. Now that is enjoyable. But to pour sweet sauces all over perfectly good meat is dreadful in my humble opinion. I know that cranberry sauce served with turkey is a norm (well, here it is, anyhow) ... but I would much prefer gravy on my turkey. And on my mashed potatoes, and on my stuffing, .... ya get the picture... ;)

[YesNo]

Ketchup on bread would make me want to give up both bread and ketchup.

[Scheherazade]

Ketchup on bread would make me want to give up both bread and ketchup. When I was at university, on more than one occasion, I had burger buns with only ketchup and pickles because those were the only things I could afford and kept readily in my cupboard.

I can't stand orange and chocolate combination with anything... And it's everywhere.

[YesNo]

The pickles sound like a good choice.

While driving to different work sites when I was planting trees, I sometimes bought a dozen donuts (cheaper in that quantity) from Dunkin Donuts and a large coffee and eat them on the way. By the time I finished the tenth donut I started to have second thoughts about the wisdom of that food choice (or quantity). Since I was disciplined I finished the last two anyway.

[Scheherazade]

Never been a donuts fan... Especially the jam filled kind that is favoured in this country. Yuck.

Another food combo I don't understand is fruit yoghurt. Why?

[YesNo]

There are a lot of donuts that are not worth eating (maybe none of them are?). I prefer those with cream filling. That helps increase the sugar rush and it makes me think I'm getting more (sugar) for my money. Glazed donuts seem like hot air with no substance. Of course if they are chocolate coated with sprinkles, that increases their value.

I don't understand fruit yogurt either.

[tailor STATELY]

A variation on a theme by JoseBrooks52:

I hesitate to offer my combination as the thought of it now makes me ill:

Yes, such things are sold in boxes where I live, unfortunately.

I have this distaste about meat/fish and a sweet addition....

Further, may I ask, if this maple syrup salmon were served, what do folks serve with it?

When I make salmon, I do it as described above, and serve with steamed crisp asparagus, baked potato and a salad.

[Clopin]

I've only just eaten it by itself. You eat it cold as well. It's not really a meal, it's just a snack people like. Is this a Canadian thing? I thought it was just normal.

No, we eat it here in New England, too. You can put it on a cracker or good bread or even a bagel. As Clopin says, it's pretty good (on doctor's orders I went back to eating meat this year and haven't much regretted it). But I will speak heresy to my Canadian friends and say that, for my money, the best maple syrup comes from Vermont. Mmmmm-boy! But it on a tuna sandwich and it would still taste good!

But this past Schrove Tuesday met its worst ever ... Potato Pancakes with Maple Syrup atop??? O no, say it is not so!!! That was completely horrid to fathom... *glargh*

I'm trying imagine what pancakes made out of potatoes might taste like. I'm beginning to think maybe there is a use for ketchup.
