Everyone's got their own favorite food.


Doesn't mean it's going to taste good to you. It's like when someone tells you they're favorite pizza place, spends the days before you go together hyping it up, and then when you arrive it ends up being just okay. That's awkward. Yet, these people talking about their favorite weird two food combinations it too intriguing to completely ignore.

Reddit user, u/CouchCorrespondent, wanted to know what culinary wonders they were missing out on when they asked:

What are two foods that actually taste great together......even though most people don't eat them that way?

Breakfast is the most wonderful meal of the day. As the wise Leslie Knope once said, "Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?" So mixing it up can feel blasphemous, but what if it's tasty?

Jam It On

"When I was growing up, it was standard procedure for us to put grape jelly on scrambled eggs. I did it when I went to college and everyone at the table stared at me. I still like it."

Sauces and dips are critical to enjoying some foods. Mess with it too much and you risk ruining the delicacy. So that's why it's reassuring to see these people offering up their new spins on dip combinations.

"So I make spaghetti noodles, but break up the raw noodles into smaller pieces. Once they're done I put in a an egg or two (mix it around) and let it cook. I swear it's not that bad. My Nonna always makes it for me when I go back to the Midwest to visit. It's good with parmesan cheese too."

A Creative Spin On An Old Favorite

"Root beer float except with cherry Coke and chocolate ice cream. I was in middle school on a field trip, last in line at the cream shop, and ordered this after everyone else had done the standard root beer and vanilla. One of the cool girls who had never spoken my name before gave me this piercing look and asked if I would switch with her. I instinctively knew I would get zero benefit from this deal, so I said "Nope, ya gotta just remember it next time." That felt good."

Keep an open mind. Don't do this for every meal, sure, but always be ready to try something new.

Biggest Financial Mistakes People Make In Their 20s

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
