Interesting food combosFollow

Since I know Poldaran is into cooking a bit, I thought at least he'd take interest.

I'm not much of a foodie, and I certainly don't get fancy in my cooking, but when I do make things for myself I occasionally try to mix it up a bit. I'm not even always looking for something that tastes good, but simply tastes interesting.

A few nights ago I made a pretty standard vegetable potluck soup for myself. It's just tomato base or V8 juice (low-sodium), carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and whatever other vegetables I need to use up (in this case, beets), with some seasonings like garlic. This time though, I had a container of coconut milk that I wasn't sure how I was going to finish off. So into the soup it went. Usually my soup tastes tomato-ey and spicey, but the coconut gave it a little something sweet that was easy to distinguish and didn't just muddy into the rest of the flavors. It was ok, and I definitely hadn't tasted something like it before.

Funny typo: earlier I spelled coconut as cococunt.

So any weird combos work out well for any of you?

Repulsive. I'd rather have a grilled cheese with fetus.

I hate mustard, but I want to start making my grilled cheese sandwiches with different combos of cheeses. Muenster sounds good for example.

Grilled cheese with caramelized onions and portabello mushrooms is nice.
My wife eats bacon and jam sandwiches.

I like dipping chocolate brownies (and dometimes cake, if it won't fall apart) into beer. I haven't tried it with dark beer, but oddly it works very nice with a lager like Carlsberg. The fun bit is when people in the pub stare at you like you're a moron, and then you dunk and eat the next bite :p

Lubriderm, I have an awesome grilled cheese I make. Sourdough bread, olive oil instead of butter, and then use differnt Italian cheeses and sometimes cured meats.

I tried a Mexican variation, but found I prefer quessadillas.

With or without peanut butter? Because we kinda established that PB and Cheese works!

I can't decide whether to you with the "that's what she said" or the homosexual implications on that one.

This thread is starting to get off, but I saw that coming.

I got some guinness cheese at the farmers market the other day... I may have to try that with nuttella... Am I back on track or just riding the rail? Is it safe to say riding the rail after the meat conversation?

*EDIT* Not that I care, but who is rating people down on /K/? srsly?

Oh, that's kool then >.>

I knew that.

Salt and vinegar chips with dill pickle dip. Typically I am a sensible person that uses dips with plain chips, but this one time when my friends wife was prego, this combination was discovered to be quite tasty.

Also obligatory rate down for asking who would rate down in /k/. Not that it really matters in here.
