Not everything is vanilla ice cream predictable. Sometimes, you just gotta try some soy sauce ice cream! Read on to discover some unusual food combinations that are actually delicious culinary creations!
1. Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwiches
I don't know why this works, but I've been eating these sandwiches since I was a kid. And so has a lot of America, because, according to Slate.com, this tangy delight has been around since the Great Depression, although it was made with pickle relish then. Don't knock it until you try it!
2. Chocolate and Avocado Milkshake
It's the creamy and rich texture that these two seemingly polar opposites hold in common that makes them so great together. In fact, it's quite a decadent combo.
3. Salted Watermelon
Some people love a little salt on their watermelon, claiming that it brings out the sweetness. We do accept salty/sweet combos in a lot of everyday cuisines, so why not this one?
4. Strawberry and Basil Lemonade
This has to be one of the most refreshing drinks on a hot day! Or on these cold winter days when your heart is longing for summer, we don't judge! Enjoy this unusual combination here.
5. Pizza with Honey
It's the sweet and salty combo that always wins! And, if you happen to be in NYC, check out the restaurant Pizza Loves Emily for their Colony pizza...pepperoni, pickled chili, and honey!
6. Pine Needles in Cookies
Say what? Christmas trees inside of cookies? You read that right. A recipe for Douglas fir pine needle cookies exists and you can try it here! 'Tis the season.
7. Steak and Pomegranate
Do you love a juicy steak? Why not add even more bursts of flavor with some pomegranates? This zesty combo will get your mouth watering. Try this new marinade here.
8. Meat and Cola
Meat marinaded in Coke or Dr. Pepper is bursting with flavor (I've personally used Dr. Pepper in a slow cooker!)Try it for yourself here!
9. Ice Cream and...Soy Sauce?
Not everyone will enjoy this. It's a strong flavor. But those who enjoy it swear by its tastiness. You never know until you try!
10. Cottage Cheese and Fruit
From a nutrition standpoint, this is a great snack packed with protein and fiber. And according to The New York Post's poll on unusual food combinations, 50 percent of the Americans that they surveyed said that they loved this combo. If you love fruit and love cottage cheese, this just might be a match made in heaven for you.
11. Cheddar Cheese and Apple Pie
Cheddar has a nutty flavor profile. When you put that with the tart sweetness of an apple, you get magic. Is it any wonder that this combination is a favorite of so many?
12. Peanut Butter, Banana, and Bacon
Of course we saved the King of unusual combos for last: The Elvis Sandwich. Legend has it that this was Elvis Presley's favorite combination, a true trio of flavor. Give it a try and see if it makes your mouth rock-and-roll!
This culinary journey of some...creative...food combinations has hopefully broadened your perspective of what foods actually go together. Happy adventure eating!
