1. Red Wine and Cold Meatballs
The person who asked this question initially admits to their guilty food pleasure as a cold can of SpaghettiOs with meatballs rinsed down with a bottle of red. While the flavor combination isn't too disharmonious, cold meatballs don't sound too refined!
2. Pizza Rolls and Ranch Dressing
The pizza roll clique offers many variations on their favorite accompaniments, including barbecue, spaghetti, or straight-up. However, the thread poster trumps the lot with its aggressive stance on the best pizza roll buddy: ranch dressing. Let that sink in, or don't — I am not sure I would.
3. Saltines and Mayo
Even though some commenters feel a saltine should be served with nothing other than cheese, one person declares mayonnaise as the official bomb choice of topping. The question is, which type of mayo? Southerners favor Dukes; others go for Kewpie, and the rest go for Hellman's.
4. Peanut Butter and Water
Yes, you read that correctly. One eclectic taste combination comes from a curious contributor who mixes peanut butter with water to make a dip. They add that it doesn't seem shameful until someone walks into the kitchen to find you wearing pajamas, furiously stirring a mug filled with what looks like congealed mud.
5. Liquid Mac and Cheese With Coke
You might want to reconsider your favorites when you have to ascertain that the mac and cheese you like is liquid, not powdered. However, once you start showing off with liquid sauce-based mac and cheese, it doesn't matter if you drink Coke with it — you have already won.
6. Ramen With Sriracha
A mother speaks about her favorite combination when pregnant that she still loves today: instant ramen with a ton of sriracha stirred in at the end. She calls it red broth, though some sage advice comes. Why not try a fried egg on top? This finishing touch could be a winner.
7. Salami Wrapped Wasabi Almonds
Salami works as a casing with many other ingredients: cheese, breadsticks, and olives. However, some eaters can take their salami-wrapping game to some unexpected places: corn chips, Cheetos, or even wasabi almonds. Salami and wasabi sounds like a dynamic new idea, though I am not sure it resonates here.
8. Scrambled Eggs and Peanut Butter
One married gentleman laments his wife's favorite breakfast combination: scrambled eggs with mixed-in peanut butter. While he despairs of this invention, confessing how he shames his other half, he best be careful. That is one big protein hit; maybe his wife is secretly working out.
9. Lays, Cheese, and Milk
An honest contributor isn't sure why or when this started, but they confess to their love of late-night Lays chips, sliced American cheese, and a glass of really cold milk. Is this an adult we are speaking about? I get the cheese and the milk, but chips with milk are something I haven't eaten since kindergarten.
10. Cottage Cheese with Pork and Beans
I have heard that cottage cheese is a superfood due to its densely packed amino acids and proteins. However, it may lose its superfood status once it becomes a topping for canned pork and beans. Moreover, I can see muscle mass gurus choking on their protein shakes when they see this culinary heresy.
