Life is too short to play it safe and not take a chance. You could be missing out on something unusual and fantastic that is right before your eyes. This goes for food, too. You don’t have to be a hardcore, insect-eating carnivore, or an extreme food competition participant to be a wild in the food department. Sometimes, you just need to mix and match to create beautiful synergies between different food items. Here, we list some such amazingly weird and wonderful food combination that you probably never thought would go together!
Bacon and maple syrup
Bacon tends to be very salty, but if you’ve ever made a mess of your breakfast platter and accidentally dipped your bacon in maple syrup, you know how awesome it tastes.
Sour curd on pizza
Pizza is heavy, oily, and at times, too overwhelming in its taste. Chefs often add sour cream as a dip to eat pizzas with, for this reason. A good hack to recreate this involves lightly whipping some thick, sour curd, and spreading it on the pizza. The cooling curd balances out the heat, fats and starch in the pizza.
French fries dipped in soft serves
You might go to McDonald’s for the fries, but have you even lived till you’ve dipped their fries in their other famous item, their soft serves? A decidedly unique combination, the two taste like pancakes when put together, and are perfect for when you want pancakes, but can’t get them.
Cheddar cheese and pineapple
This popular finger food combination works excellently together. The heavy muskiness of the cheese is cut by the fresh, fruity vibe of pineapples. Not the most obvious coupling, much like Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, but it works!
Chocolate milk with spices and salt
A warm tumbler of chocolate milk tastes delicious when combined with some salt, pepper, and cinnamon. The warmth makes it a very relaxing drink, and the salt helps bring out the depth and flavour of the chocolate. Who would have thought?
Classic, plain salted chips with Nutella
Not many of us willingly eat classic salted chips unless we have an ulcer in our mouths. But did you know that it makes for a great combination when paired with Nutella? Yes, your period binge-fest just got a new item!
Mangoes and nutty chocolate brownies
The tangy and fresh sweetness of mangoes is the perfect contrast to the nutty depth of chocolate, and nuts. Therefore, it is the perfect fruit for peanut butter, brownies, and similarly salty yet sweet confectionery.
Watermelon and feta cheese
Creamy and delicious feta cheese goes really well with juicy and crispy watermelons, making them a common staple in salads. If you get tired of eating too much of a similar thing, then opting for food pairing with contrasting tastes and textures like this, is a good option!
Kurkure and broccoli
Boiling and lightly stir-frying some fresh broccoli in garlic, and tossing it into a bowl of Kurkure, is the perfect way to go when you are torn between eating junk and eating a salad. Not only that, it tastes absolutely delicious! You’re welcome.
Chicken curry and dosas
We think chicken curry works with rice, it works with breads like roti and naan. But how many of us have tried having chicken curry with a crispy and buttery plain dosa? A divine combination, it makes for one of the most satisfying meals you will ever have.
