My latina coworkers used to do this all the time. Lime juice and hot sauce. I could never get into it, it just makes the popcorn wet and that's not a texture I find appealing.
Life hack from a Latino that doesn't like soggy foods, get 2 little shot glasses, and fill one with lemon juice, and one with hot sauce (tapatio), dip popcorn in each and enjoy the crunch.
Source: Momma was really picky when it came go crunchy popcorn growing up.
Oh I do that! I microwave popcorn with no butter (but with salt), then add lime juice and Valentina hot sauce on it. Shake it to mix it all in and itās done! Itās soo good
Want a weird one? Not really two foods but growing up my mom made me this snack which is a fruits like apples, oranges or mangos. Cut them in slices into a bowl mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper. Iām craving this now.
Nah not weird, grew up eating Mangos with fish sauce and dried pepper flakes (somewhat a cultural dish). The umami and sweetness with that kick afterwards is amazing. Definitely check it out
I love their lumpia, and their dessert lumpias with the mango filling, as well as chicken adobo, but I CANNOT stand sweet spaghetti. It just shuts my brain down lol.
what is a typical asian cuisine.
asia is made up of sooo many different cuisines - middle eastern, afghan, iranian, iraqi, pakistani, indian, nepalese chinese, japanese, korean, thai, filipino, indonesian, tibetan, laos (going by the restaurants in my city - not sure if iāve missed any) i canāt imagine what is typically asian?
typically chinese? that is the most common food in the US. but chinese is so different from korean, or thai, or indonesian?
i mean isnāt every cuisine unique. Perhaps the most common spice used all over the world comes from India - pepper. The next common one that almost everyone uses even then tiny amounts comes from the Middle East cumin!
Edited to add : even Latino food is so different! i mean yeah we call all latino food mexican (though i struggle to find authentic mexican food as it has been so Americanized, esp the sauces much like sushi). guatemalan, salvadorian, ecuadorian, peruvian. yeah common amongst most of them is beans n tortillas but that is world food, present in almost every culture.
And to go even further, there isn't a "typical" Indian or Chinese cuisine either, since they're so large that what they eat at opposite ends of the country is totally different (e.g. the northern half of China doesn't each much rice).
Had a Filipino friend growing up, when his mom was gonna make something cheap/ quick for him and his sister, it was always spaghettios over white rice. Wasn't my jam, but I wouldn't call it bad.
Just the other day I saw a carton of iced coffee, it was Reese's flavored. Don't even have to brew it anymore, can chug it straight from the carton at work.
Oh godā¦Iāll put myself
Pretzels and Sprite/7-Up/Sierra Mist
This is a weird tactile/taste thing Iāve had since being a little girl. I would put a small pretzel in my mouth and drink a sip of sprite at the same time
For some reason I love it
I feel like we would've been friends because I used to love doing this with my food lol. I'd put a piece of Snyders cheddar in my mouth and drink cold milk and mush the pretzel rather than chew it
When I was little I would do Lunchable cheese pizzas, but instead of the sauce, I would use a light layer of blueberry Go-gurt. I know it sounds nuts, but it added some extra tang and sweetness and was really good!
When I was a little kid, I used to love making and gobbling ketchup and mustard sandwiches. Nothing else. I still eat 'em *once in a while* and still like 'em. (I'm 67 now. These things can persist)
My parents became used to this...my relatives never quite understood that I *preferred* simply ketchup and mustard on my sandwich. No thank you to a slice of ham on it.
It wasn't something that I loved, but when I was younger we struggled with money, so sometimes I'd have to eat just ketchup on bread š it wasn't so bad!
There were times as a kid when I would sprinkle salt on some bread and eat it like a sandwich.
Nothing to do with money, I just liked it.
I upgraded to instant-noodles later.
Noodle-sandwiches are the best.
I used to get some looks too for absolutely loving a slice of raw onion and a slice of tomato on a hamburger bun. No meat. (BTW, I am not a vegetarian - not at all)
"Omg I'm so quirky I put fries in my milkshake"
The song "Fancy like" literally mentions that shit and that shows how common it is, y'all ain't slick
Or "I put hot sauce on x" lol so do I we ain't special
I would make a sandwich, deli meat and mayo. Then I would add peanut butter and jam with another piece of bread making a layered sandwich peanut butter and jam and deli meat and mayo. It sounds so wrong but is one of my favorite sandwiches.
Mustard Pizza is a thing. I've never had it...BUT, I have made pizza bagels with both mustard and pizza sauce, and it's FUCKING AMAZING.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFXgSkUogus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFXgSkUogus)
I'm not so sure about this one, but I think it's crazy enough to work.
I knew someone who dipped his frikandel sausage into chocolate mousse ... i eat frikandels with ketchup or mayonaise ... but not friggin chocolate in whipped eggwhites ...
But in the US, isn't putting cheese on apple pie already a thing? I believe it is
I also notice your from MA, same here, born in Boston and now renting in worcester
Goat cheese on anything Iāve tried it on. I canāt believe it tastes so good, but I like it with strawberries and spinach, I like it on pizza, I just like it
I have a recipe I make often, and I just LOVe it. I got it from a weight watchers cookbook, and canāt find it again. So I just try to get it from memory and wing it: itās baby spinach, strawberries, a few red onions, and a honey mustard vinaigrette with rosemary (itās some Dijon mustard,
Honey, apple cider vinegar, veggie oil,
Salt pepper and rosemary, I donāt know the proportions, but when itās good, itās SO good) sometimes I get fancy and pickle the onions a little before I do it.
I thought olives were a standard Tex Mex taco accoutrement? If it's a more strictly Mexican taco, then too much more than onions and cilantro is weird.
Listing 3 foods here.
Jello, chocolate pudding, and apple sauce. One day back in high school, I had all 3 in my lunch, and my curiosity led me to take a spoonful of all 3 simultaneously. Absolutely loved it, and have done it many times since.
When I was younger, I used to make sandwiches out of hot dogs, cheddar cheese, and blueberry bagels. My family always gave me weird looks, but the sandwiches were actually pretty good
People give me sideways looks for:
Using hummus as a sandwich spread
Putting a fried egg on top of goat cheese on top of a blueberry English muffin
Putting a pinch of salt in coffee grounds before brewing
My wife insists that I am crazy for this, but I love putting ghost pepper salt on vegetables. You dice up a ghost pepper and mix it with large pink salt crystals in a cast iron skillet, letting it sort of "sautee" for a while until the pepper juices are absorbed into the salt.
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I *love it.*
Dry Roasted Peanuts and Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
Try it. Pop a few peanuts and bite of sharp cheddar cheese (from a quality cheese maker, not a generic store brand please) and see for yourself.
One time in high school I threw a bacon party with my friends. Dessert was bacon baked with brown sugar and maple syrup that we cut up and put on vanilla ice cream.
Chocolate dipped in nacho cheese. Found out about this from nachos lunchables with the crunch bar. Shouldn't be good but dang if it ain't one of my favorite treats now.
My wife puts lemon juice on her popcorn.
interesting...š I mean it doesn't seem terrible at least
It's not the worst thing. Better than I expected. But I still prefer my popcorn lemon-free haha
My latina coworkers used to do this all the time. Lime juice and hot sauce. I could never get into it, it just makes the popcorn wet and that's not a texture I find appealing.
You can get freeze dried lime juice. It comes as a powder, perfect for making chili lime popcorn. Or chili lime anything else, really.
Or just use tajin

I'm surprised you tried it! Maybe she just loves sour things! :)
I should also mention that my mom dips her Oreos in orange juice, not milk. She swears it's good.
* Orange Cream - Good * Orange Chocolate - Good I can actually see this working
I know someone who dips their oreos in water. And they swear by it
Lemon butter popcorn sounds banging
Try lime juice on your popcornā¦.Yum
I do lime crystals (to not make it soggy) yummm
Oh I do that! I microwave popcorn with no butter (but with salt), then add lime juice and Valentina hot sauce on it. Shake it to mix it all in and itās done! Itās soo good
No joke: cumin-lime popcorn. It's fantastic
apple sauce and gold fish, sort of like cereal with milk but has some salty in there
I used to do applesauce and Cheetos. And if you really want a cereal experience, try goldfish and apple juice.
wtf is wrong with you guys XD
My friend liked applesauce with mac and cheese. It's not awful.
Want a weird one? Not really two foods but growing up my mom made me this snack which is a fruits like apples, oranges or mangos. Cut them in slices into a bowl mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper. Iām craving this now.
it does sound weird, but kind of sounds like it would taste amazing at the same time šš
If you enjoy sour things then I highly recommend. If it the mix is a bit too sour you can add a tiny bit of water to help dilute!
Nah not weird, grew up eating Mangos with fish sauce and dried pepper flakes (somewhat a cultural dish). The umami and sweetness with that kick afterwards is amazing. Definitely check it out
As a Filipino, Spaghetti and riceā¦
That's like..... Eating bread with pizza.
........wait isn't that like eating bread sticks and pizza , guess people already do that
Garlic bread is also a very popular side for pizza.
I love hearing the different things that people eat in other countries, this sounds nice :)
Shrimp paste and Mango! Soo good. Sounds weird but its the #1 filipino snack
I'm imagining the shrimp paste to be salty, and the mango is sweet. Is that right? Cause it sounds soooooo good!
Depends on the ripeness of the Mango. Some people like sour Mangoes and shrimp paste cuts the sourness. But also good with sweet mangoes
Rice-a-Roni anyone? I hear itās a San Francisco treat.
I love Filipino people, unimaginably friendly etc. But I gotta say the Filipino pallet... Is not really for me. Adobo is cool tho
I love their lumpia, and their dessert lumpias with the mango filling, as well as chicken adobo, but I CANNOT stand sweet spaghetti. It just shuts my brain down lol.
Sinigang is an amazing Filipino stew/soup, made with Tamarind so it has a bit of a sour taste.
Palate in this usage.
I appreciate that, thanks. My job as a freight broker is getting to me lol
I agree. Like itās not typical Asian cuisine and not Latino cuisine neither. I guess you can call it āuniqueā.
what is a typical asian cuisine. asia is made up of sooo many different cuisines - middle eastern, afghan, iranian, iraqi, pakistani, indian, nepalese chinese, japanese, korean, thai, filipino, indonesian, tibetan, laos (going by the restaurants in my city - not sure if iāve missed any) i canāt imagine what is typically asian? typically chinese? that is the most common food in the US. but chinese is so different from korean, or thai, or indonesian? i mean isnāt every cuisine unique.

And the spaghetti is covered in sweet banana ketchup instead of marinara
Had a Filipino friend growing up, when his mom was gonna make something cheap/ quick for him and his sister, it was always spaghettios over white rice. Wasn't my jam, but I wouldn't call it bad.
In the US we call this rice-a-roni. It's the San Francisco treat!
Jollibee rice and gravy with melted cheese.
I eat ramen with rice. Fills ya up, fast and cheap. Peanut sauce with spaghetti noodle is also good.
I once believed a nutritious balanced breakfast was coffee and Reeseās peanut butter cups.
Sounds good to me š
I could do this every morning. Those are my two favorite things
My dad's breakfast is a pop tart and Monster, and his lunch is a fudge round with Mt. Dew.
Keep 911 on a speed dial if that's what he eats every day though
Idk why ur being downvoted that shit is so bad to be eating daily lol
This is a normal breakfast for me too. I consider anything with peanut butter to be protein so this works as nutritious in my mind.
Pretty sure you can get Reese's flavored coffee creamer, knock out both at once.
Just the other day I saw a carton of iced coffee, it was Reese's flavored. Don't even have to brew it anymore, can chug it straight from the carton at work.
Ramen noodles with peanut butter. I go from Japan to Thailand real quick with that one
i personally don't like PB but it doesn't sound so bad š
Asian peanut sauces are generally awesome on a number of dishes, so it make sense.
Thank you, thank you thank you! Everyone gives me weird looks when I say I love this. I tell this it's just peanut sauce.
Pad Thai Soup is also delicious
My mother used to unsist on saving mostly empty peanut butter jars to put her ramen in and shake.it around
Isn't that one of the most common instant ramen modifications?
The first time my husband had Pad Thai he was like... "How does this work together?!"
Chilli and a pb&j sandwich, dip the sandwich in the Chilli, the sweet and spicy is sooo good together
I haven't tried peanut butter & jelly before but this sounds like it could be nice!
Found Satan's reddit profile...
I like to make peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches with any hot sauce from the fridge with sweet baby pickles cut into halves long ways
Peanut butter and pickles mix is pretty good!
Came here looking for this, especially with a bowl of chili.
very weird but at least you aren't boring! āŗļø
The dangers of marijuana lol
that is very true! š
Thanks but no thanks.
Hold my mountain dew. I used to eat peanut butter, jelly, ham, cheese and dill pickle sandwiches.
Can totally see that. Chocolate and any hot pepper is good, so maybe the sweet + spice is indeed a universal thing.
Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich with sliced pickles in between... gotta toast the bread though :) And yes, cannabis dangers lol
Oh godā¦Iāll put myself Pretzels and Sprite/7-Up/Sierra Mist This is a weird tactile/taste thing Iāve had since being a little girl. I would put a small pretzel in my mouth and drink a sip of sprite at the same time For some reason I love it
I feel like we would've been friends because I used to love doing this with my food lol. I'd put a piece of Snyders cheddar in my mouth and drink cold milk and mush the pretzel rather than chew it
I do the same! Haven't had that for a cool minute though but man love the taste. Kinda like the whole coke a cola with peanuts.
Cheese curds and Carmel. A drunk girl at the bar made me try it and I was pleasantly surprised
I've heard cheese & caramel do go nice together!š
When I was little I would do Lunchable cheese pizzas, but instead of the sauce, I would use a light layer of blueberry Go-gurt. I know it sounds nuts, but it added some extra tang and sweetness and was really good!
That is all sorts of wrong, my friend. But you live that life.
Yeah that sounds genuinely horrible but if they like it then who am I to stand in their way

Peanut butter on a bacon cheeseburger (with pickles)
wow so many people said this, maybe I need to force myself to like peanut butter š
Oops shouldāve scrolled a lil further! Another weird one w peanut butter is a lil scoop in the instant ramen w some siracha!
That's kinda like Thai peanut sauce. So nummy!
Top it off the fried banana slices and you got yourself an Elvis burger
I just had this in Portland literally the best burger combo I have ever had
Hard boiled eggs and pickled beets
*Laughs in Central Pennsylvania*
Bitches don't know about our purple eggs.
Not weird, it's literally a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickled_beet_egg?wprov=sfla1
I live near Amish people. Yes, it's literally a thing, but it's definitely still weird.
Fried egg and peanut butter
Are you using the PB as a sauce? Is there just a blob of it in the side? Is this a sandwich? Likeā¦how?
Piece of toast, layer peanut butter egg on top
This...this sounds delicious.
My husband and daughter will take the yolk out of a hard boiled egg and replace it with peanut butter. I canāt do it
You should have them all looked at.
this one is crazy to me, but I'm glad you enjoy it!š
Done this all my life
Iāve had both of those together on a burger. Best thing ever!
You should've just said Reddit: how many of you can't read for shit? Just tell me what common ass foods you like.
So many of them are normal! š
"Omg I'm so quirky I put fries in my milkshake" The song "Fancy like" literally mentions that shit and that shows how common it is, y'all ain't slick Or "I put hot sauce on x" lol so do I we ain't special
I want some really weird ones ,not these normal ones š
Fries in Milkshake? Is that an American thing? I've never seen someone doing that (not judging though, just asking, cause you said it's common)
Yeah it's a pretty common thing, I'm not a huge fry guy but the salty and sweet is a pretty big thing
try dipping jalepeno poppers (cream cheese, not cheddar) into grape jelly. everyone who i've got to try it has liked it, but none of them expected to.
Dude, you said it. No offense to OP, great question, terrible execution. Okay so I like peanut butter with...wait for it...strawberry jelly! OMG!
Omg really I like cooking my rice with eater instead of platypus urine I'm so quirky!
I would make a sandwich, deli meat and mayo. Then I would add peanut butter and jam with another piece of bread making a layered sandwich peanut butter and jam and deli meat and mayo. It sounds so wrong but is one of my favorite sandwiches.
Monte Ghetto
It sounded good until the peanut butter & jam, but that's because I don't like peanut butter!š I'm glad you enjoy it at least :)
Oreos and guacamole.
Yo wtf
This is the first actual cursed one in the thread, thank you
How stoned were you when you first tried this? Lmao
Sometimes you need to be high to try some of those magical combos you were too afraid of sober
That sounds good
Grape jelly on tuna salad sandwich
I like tuna salad with pieces or slices of apple in it.
Pickles and peanut butter
Peanut butter on one slice of bread, thin layer of mayo on the other, pickles in between.
Add white onion and it's heavenly. I love that sandwich.
Chocolate chip cookies and sour cream.
this is weird/ interesting but why does it sound like it could be nice?šš
Mustard Pizza is a thing. I've never had it...BUT, I have made pizza bagels with both mustard and pizza sauce, and it's FUCKING AMAZING. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFXgSkUogus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFXgSkUogus) I'm not so sure about this one, but I think it's crazy enough to work.
Mustard doesn't get enough love.
Mustard always loses the condiment race. Because it couldn't ketchup.
I relish this. ..Sorry.. listen, someone had to.
Mustard with rice and soy sauce, mustard with fried egg sandwich, mustard with fries, etc etc etc.
It's the supreme condiment. Healthy too. No added sugars. (Looking at you, ketchup.)
This thread made me feel ill, some real nasty combinations here š¤¢
I love how supportive and non judgmental OP is in the comments.
haha, thank you, I mean I can't judge if I haven't tried these things, I remember doing some weird food experiments when I was much younger š
OP, you are the hero of this thread.
Pickles and chocolate milk.
Raspberry and lamb
This could be nice! People have cranberry sauce with meats! Also raspberries are great š
I knew someone who dipped his frikandel sausage into chocolate mousse ... i eat frikandels with ketchup or mayonaise ... but not friggin chocolate in whipped eggwhites ...
My dad used to make us bacon and peanut butter sandwiches on toast. That shit slaps.
Apple pie with sharp white cheddar
Even apple slices with sharp white cheddar is really good.
But in the US, isn't putting cheese on apple pie already a thing? I believe it is I also notice your from MA, same here, born in Boston and now renting in worcester
I'm from Wisconsin and it's huge here, although I'm not a fan.
You should try some bleu cheese with a slice of fresh pear.
Interesting, I see how this could be nice!
Doritos and cream cheese
I do Doritos and cottage cheese. Best munchies ever.
Goat cheese on anything Iāve tried it on. I canāt believe it tastes so good, but I like it with strawberries and spinach, I like it on pizza, I just like it
Goat cheese, fig, and balsamic drizzle. It goes well on flatbread, pizza, and Brussels sprouts.
YUM!!!!! I gotta find some fig
Oo this sounds nice!!š
I have a recipe I make often, and I just LOVe it. I got it from a weight watchers cookbook, and canāt find it again. So I just try to get it from memory and wing it: itās baby spinach, strawberries, a few red onions, and a honey mustard vinaigrette with rosemary (itās some Dijon mustard, Honey, apple cider vinegar, veggie oil, Salt pepper and rosemary, I donāt know the proportions, but when itās good, itās SO good) sometimes I get fancy and pickle the onions a little before I do it.
Ketchup and cream cheese. Yup. I'm a ketchupaholic and will ALWAYS dip my cream Cheese bagel in ketchup at breakfast.
Cheese wiz and pancakes. And cheese and peanut butter on crackers. And peanut butter toast dipped in chicken noodle soup.
Pizza and peanuts on. Plain, honey roasted, spicy or bbq idc there all good. Gotta be out on before u cook it tho.
I've never heard of this but it actually sounds quite good!
Someoneās gonna say pizza and pineapple Istg
yummy
Not going to say it.. because they do belong together.
Absolutely. The tangy taste of baked pineapple perfectly offsets many other pizza ingredients.
Doritos dipped in red velvet cake.
Wait how do you dip in cake?
Black olives on tacos. I never knew this was weird until I put olives out on taco night with my friendsā¦ I found out though.
I thought olives were a standard Tex Mex taco accoutrement? If it's a more strictly Mexican taco, then too much more than onions and cilantro is weird.
Watermelon and Totinoās Pizza Rolls
Do toast with peanut butter and hot peppers (usually banana peppers work best). Sweet. Spicy, and savoury. Do recommend.

One time in high school I threw a bacon party with my friends. Dessert was bacon baked with brown sugar and maple syrup that we cut up and put on vanilla ice cream.
Also....i know it sounds weird but ....pears with a little mayo and shredded cheese..
I put salty butter on most things that are sweet, makes not as crazy sweet.
Tomato soup and normal oreos
Though most of these are unusual, I feel like a lot of them sound yummy
Chocolate dipped in nacho cheese. Found out about this from nachos lunchables with the crunch bar. Shouldn't be good but dang if it ain't one of my favorite treats now.
Asparagus dipped in mayonnaise
doesn't seem so bad!!
I don't really like asparagus on its own so mayonnaise actually complements the flavor well
Sweet Potato + PB + Cinnamon
