I stumbled on a food blog that features odd food combinations. The Food in my Beard
Here are a few of this person's latest creations. He's been posting since 2008, so there's a whole bunch more.
Octopus Bao
Teriyaki Basil Mango Summer Rolls
Fried Clam Arepas with Tartar Slaw
Poke (raw fish) burritos
Burnt Honey and Basil Ice Cream
Carne Asada Udon Noodle Salad
Bahn Mi Tater Tots
Hawaiian Poke Burger
That's just a few of the most recent recipes. The pictures are fabulous and mouth-watering to look at.
The combinations sound odd but look really good.
What are your favorite food combinations that don't sound like they go together but taste great?
Can I expand this to drinks?
Half beer, half grapefruit juice: Radler. The finest hot-summer-day drink ever! (Pilsner is probably the best beer to use, but I have tried it with a number of different beers.)
3/4 glass of wine, 1/4 glass of sparkling water: Frócs (pronounced, FRUTCH). The Hungarians drink this in the summer, and it really is good. They also have something like 20 different types of mineral water to use, so you can use a super bubbly water, or a very lightly bubbly water, or a really heavily mineral-tasting water, or a very neutral one. It's all yummy with the right wine. (Usually a white wine, but reds work as well.)
