Yesterday I was making myself some lunch, a grilled cheese with some ham and turkey on it, and I decided to spice it up a bit by adding some potato chips to it. My son saw this and was shocked. He kept asking me why I was doing that and if it was any good. I let him taste it and he enjoyed it very much, because of course he would enjoy ships on a sandwich. This inspired us during lunch for he and I decided to talk about other foods we thought would make good pairings.

We started with the chips on a sandwich. He mentioned that he likes to put fries on a burger. I enjoy that as well, especially on a McDonald's double cheeseburger. I told him, in the vein of salty on sweet, that fries dipped in a shake is very good. He now wants to try this asap. This conversation went on for some time and we decided that we were going to look up some other odd, or different food combos. We came across a pro football player who puts his Oreo McFlurry on his McDonald's cheeseburger. Sounds odd to me, but I will most likely try it in the future. We saw all the post Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches. I'm talking about the sandwiches that have turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and some kind of cheese on there. I have never had this sandwich, it sounds like far too much and I don't like cranberry sauce, but people really seem to enjoy this as a leftover sandwich. We watch a ton of cooking shows in the house and one of our favorites is "Carnival Eats". This guy has tried some of the wildest foods we have seen, some we want, others, not so much. He has had fried watermelon. That sounds strange, but I'd try it. He has had corn dog jalapeno poppers. That seems like too much to me, but my son loves spicy food and hot dogs, so he is in on that. He has had some crazy pizzas and pastas. Those seem ripe for food additions, especially pizza. I've seen mac and cheese on a pizza. That is not for me, but my kid is itching to try that now, almost as much as fries in a shake. We have seen gyro pizza. I love gyros, and if the dough is somehow pita, that would definitely be something I would love. I've seen dessert pizzas, which are really just doughy cookie cakes in my opinion.

I think the world that odd food combos fit best would be sweets. Sweets are perfect to add flavors to. I love adding M&M's to popcorn. It is a wonderful, classic combo. I've had a burger where the buns are Krispy Kreme doughnut buns. And it is one of the best hamburgers I have ever had. Chicken and waffles is a perfect combo, especially when you mix hot sauce and syrup together. Hot honey is a new fad, and it is one that I am fully on board with now. Hot honey is great on everything. Another one of my favorite breakfast items is a cinnamon roll with bacon on it. Also, pancakes with bacon in the batter, chef's kiss. I guess I am coming at you all today with some odd food combos, what I consider odd I should say, that I really enjoy.

Dear reader, I have homework for you. Give me some odd food combos you all like. My son and I are very much into trying different food combos. We are not very picky either. But I want to know what you all like. And don't be gross or vile. I'm serious. I want to try some different stuff out and see how it tastes. I'm genuinely interested in taking two foods that shouldn't work and making them sing. Let me know, and I preemptively thank you.
