Unusual Combinations

Most of these make sense from a culinary standpoint. To me bacon on ice cream is a natural fit. Same with bacon and chocolate. Bacon jam is awesome. A combination I LOVE is rosemary, chocolate and blue cheese sauce on venison. Another I love is ancho chile with chocolate. Strawberries and balsamic are glorious - some may find that unusual but I don't. Garlic ice cream. Grape jelly on burgers. Vanilla beans and pork. I don't think that any combination would surprise me except those that would not make culinary sense such as those items used together on "Chopped". Those are intriguing like maybe geoduck, okra and Oreos or Fruit Loops, burrata and duck. Or those horrid jello and cottage cheese salads with raisins, carrots and marshmallows. Shudder.

Strawberries and Balsamic are great. I make a summer salad with strawberries and mandarins with baby lettuces and balsamic.

I have had Grape jelly on burgers and I put cranberry sauce on my pork burgers. Yum.

My grandmother used to make lime jello with cottage cheese. :)

This one isn't all that strange, but something you might not have thought of: strawberries dipped in sour cream and then rolled in brown sugar. Absolute Heaven!

My hub & 1 son put PB and maple syrup on pancakes.

Done that since I was a child also with waffles and french toast....gluten free of course. ;)

Ok, I ain't got much. Let's see, salt and pepper on cantaloupe is good. Don't use too much pepper or you'll get all sneezy. Then you have salt and pepper and green stuff on your cantaloupe.

Mashed potatoes on the farm always had the peas and corn mixed in and the gravy in a well in the center.

Potato salad sandwiches are good.

Oatmeal with olive oil and salt and pepper and garlic.

The wedding sandwiches sound good!

My dad called bologna sandwiches Whitmore steak, making fun of one of the guys he knew who was kind of a skinflint. I think the guy ended up owning the local cable company later...

Meatie,

OMG! so funny.

Tell your son, T. that all I can think of is the 3 Stooges when they ate baloney sandwiches with whipped cream.

My brother made us try that once.

( and yes, I watched those idiots when I was kid :lol: )

and still do occasionally as an adult.

Who doesn't love a good slap fest?

I never saw the 3 Stooges do that!

I thought my son made it up!

Maybe he saw that episode. :o

The funniest part is we indulged him and put the spray can of whipped cream on the table right along with the ketchup, mustard and pickle relish! You should have seen the lil 7 year old spraying whipped cream straight down the length of the hot dog while the rest of us did the mustard or relish!

Hubby squeezed the banana from the base of the peel.....I call that disgusting, but he grins from ear to ear. And then, puts it on whole wheat bread with peanut butter and honey.

...it's not the recipe, it's the method! :rolleyes:

This makes sense to me. Similar to beef satay - grilled skwered beef with a creamy peanut butter sauce.

As a kid . . . ketchup on eggs, ketchup on bologna, ketchup on bread . . . anything really. UNTIL . . . mom tried to save money (five of us kids eating ketchup on anything) and made "home-made" tomato juice & vinegar ketchup. Cured us all of our ketchup addictions.

Grandma always did the salt on watermelon thing. I tried it but didn't go for it. It was always a treat to get spam at her house, too :D

Corn, mashed potatos & gravy all mixed together = yum. I like my potato chips (preferably BBQ) as a crunchy layer on my pbj. Growing up, we always just ate our French Toast with butter and granulated sugar. Not weird . . . just not normal. I didn't know that it wasn't normal until I went to camp and they only served it with syrup. As a kid, I ate my waffles with butter and jelly.

My grandma loved Spam too-my dad would make it on Saturdays for breakfast sometimes with fried eggs.

To use up stale Italian bread, my mom would make a dish that would include stale bread cubes, spinach, beans, olive oil and garlic. We would also have baloney chopped up in scrambled eggs. The baloney cooked first in butter with onion. Really good!

Yum. I love satay's flavour combos. Also love jellies on burgers.

My weirdest one was probably with hot dogs. I'd line my bun with potato chips, put the hot dog in then slather it in baked beans.

At holidays I'd always pile a mountain of mashed potatoes on my plated and make a well, fill it with corn then slather the whole thing with enough gravy to make my chest hurt now.

My grandfather eats salt on all his melons and most of his fruit I think.

I learned from my mom to eat my scrambled eggs not only with ketchup but also with horseradish. So good.

My favorite way to eat fair fries was always with obscene amounts of salt and malt vinegar. I guess that's out of the question now. :( It never seemed weird to me but people out west look at me like I have two heads when I mention it.

My brother the freak always ate mustard on pretty much everything. As far as I know he still does. Not the good stuff either, plain old yellow mustard. I think when he has fries it's equal parts potato and mustard. I'd say I clearly got all the good genes but he's in perfect health. <_<

I miss malt vinegar too. Not only can't I have the vinegar, but I can't have the fish and chips I used to put it on - for two reasons. Of course I can't have the breading on the fish, but there is no good fish worth eating where I live now. And even if I COULD, they don't do malt vinegar here either.

Malt vinegar on french fries was da bomb. :( and I never even thought about that combo until just now! I had it in Ireland on my "chips". (I do not eat FF very often and use ketchup if I do)

waaaaaa!!!

And on clam cakes. There was a place a short distance from Newport RI that was just a little shack but had the best fried clams and clam cakes. Hadn't thought of those in years.

Does anyone other than me dip fries in Mayo? Someone turned me on to those when I lived down south.

I also never knew so many ate ketchup sandwiches, my twin used to eat those all the time. I thought it was gross but he would likely think my adding cinnamon to a tomato based beef stew was nuts.

I agree the kid who puts whipped cream on his hot dogs wins the 'weird things people eat' award though.

I use allspice in one of my beef stew recipes, so I "get it"! ;)

I get it, too. Cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice with tomato-based sauces really work well and are not uncommon. Many, including myself, add some bittersweet chocolate to chile con carne. It really rounds out the flavour.

Pamelas pancake mix and Aunt Jemima instant pancake mix. Not gluten-free!

Hub ran out of instant pancake mix. Needed about 25% more mix. Added Pamela's and an egg white. Made fluffy, thick, yummy ( or Suomi was told) pancakes. They then put PB and fake maple syrup on them.

I haven't ever tried that although I absolutely love a steaming hot meatloaf slathered in mayo. Thanks mom! I really should try the fries dipped in it sometime. Fair trade coming out west though, I gave up my salt and vinegar fries for fry sauce. Since fry sauce is gluten free I'm thinking it was a good deal. :D

Dipping fries in mayo (aioli) is huge in Belgium. They wouldn't dream of using ketchup! They are delicious that way. I have never tried it on meatloaf but imagine it would be very good. Thanks for the idea!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
