    Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don’t have to share!

      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.

    Peanut butter on a meat sandwich. Any sandwich. I like roast beef peanut butter combo.

      Also coffee. It doesn’t make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn’t help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

      Similarly, peanut butter & sambal on toast. It’s basically savoury & spicy peanut sauce. Absolutely delightful.

    Liquorice (or even better, salted liquorice) and coffee.

    Sounds alien, I know. You just gotta trust the process though.

    A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it’s a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

      I ordered one once and the waiter didn’t know what I was talking about so I just got a beer. He comes back later with a big smile on his face holding a glass with some liquid in it saying he brought me a pickleback. It was premixed. I shot it, it was a lot of liquid, and only once it was in my mouth did I realize they had used bread and butter pickle juice.

    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.

      “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

    Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald’s drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

    It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

    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!
