    Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola

    Was absolutely stunning

        That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.

      I love that sweet and salty. Sea salt caramel. Prosciutto fig pizza. Chocolate pretzels.

      My favorite kind of pizza is a bacon lettuce tomato, with a mess of mayo to top it off. Chefs kiss*

      This is the one I came here to post. Tried it at a brew pub I liked, I figured they wouldn’t steer me wrong.

      It’s a bit messy once the burger starts really melting the peanut butter, but it reminded me of satay w/ peanut sauce.

      No pickles for me though, I can’t seem to get with the taste of cucumber in any form I’ve tried.

      fish sauce and a little cornstarch (optional) in your scrambled egg mix and then dump it into screaming oil for 30 seconds and you get a basic thai omelette. Sooooooo good with sriracha.

      I rather go for soy sauce and a bit of starch in the beaten egg to make really thin umami omelette type things.

    French fries with vinegar. Ok, not unusual if you’re British, but delicious even if you aren’t.

      I am the only one in my family who likes vinegar on fries.

      I do prefer apple cider vinegar over regular vinegar, but I’m more than happy to slather any available vinegar I can on.

      I discovered the vinegar as a condiment with vinegar salt potato chips. Then I found out the fries. Sooooo good.

    • Vanilla ice cream and/or raspberry sorbet topped with pitch black, salty sweet licorice sauce. (common only in Denmark afaik)

    • “Birnen, Bohnen und Speck”, a stew made from pears, green beans, bacon and a herb called satureja/savory. The pears in this one are a certain old breed, that is pretty hard and sour before cooking. (This is a local delicacy from the city of Hamburg in northern Germany)

    • Watermelon and feta cheese, especially during hot summer days (common in mediterranean countries)

    • Pickled cucumbers and feta cheese (those are eaten as a combo around the black sea afaik)

    Cinnamon raisin bagel. Toasted with some thick slices of aged cheddar and a nice hotsauce. I like valentina, but siracha is good too.

    A Puerto Rican coworker turned me onto hot chocolate with cheese in it. I believe the traditional method is basically just to put some cheese in the cup and you end up with a melted glob of cheese to eat with a spoon as/after you drink it. I’ve played around with that as well as actually incorporating the cheese into the drink itself, melting it all together on the stove.

    Kind of gets you some of that well-tested sweet/salty/savory combo. I dig it in a Mexican hot chocolate with some cinnamon and chili powder.

    I believe the traditional cheese is edam, I’ve tried that as well as cheddar and a few other cheeses, they all seemed to work pretty well, try it at your own risk if you go for anything too funky

        That’s kind of the point of this thread though isn’t it? Weird food pairings that sound crazy but actually work if you’re brave enough to try them

        Elsewhere in this thread you’ll find a lot of sweet/salty/savory pairings, one that’s particularly relevant is adding chocolate to chili. Lots of chili will end up getting served with some shredded cheese, or some sour cream (sour cream is kind of next door to cheese when you think about it) so not too far off from a Mexican hot chocolate without the meat.

        Cheese is dairy, and there’s no shortage of milk and chocolate creations, like hot chocolate itself

        Cheese can go with sweet things just fine, plenty of great fruit and cheese pairings, cheese and honey, etc. (if you haven’t tried it, some warm apple pie with some sharp cheddar cheese on it is great, also sounds crazy to some people but if you ever do a cheese fondue odds are you’re going to be dipping apple slices into cheese)

        You’re probably even familiar with a couple pairings of chocolate and other cheeses, things like chocolate chips in cannoli, chocolate cheesecake

      When I was in high school, we had a class potluck. I accidentally got some cheese dip (Rotel and Velveeta) on one of my chocolate chip cookies.

      I figured, “Why not?” and tried it. Surprisingly good.

    Grapes in a chicken/tuna salad sandwich. Totally different experience with the diced grapes

      Apples too. But I’m not sure this is unusual. Even Arby’s sells a chicken salad sandwich with grapes and apples in it.

    One night we were making oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies, and I dipped a Frito corn chip in the cookie dough.

    We decided to only make a half batch of cookies and used the rest for Frito dip.

    Yes. We were high.

    I think my cousins maybe made me try this as a joke when I was younger but hear me out…

    Toast. With mayo. Sprinkled with chocolate powder.

    I don’t eat it anymore because I’m a grown up or whatever but I still get cravings for it sometimes.
