Every now and then, stepping out of your comfort zone works out incredibly well. At least, this is proven by these odd but tasty food combinations. Although we wonder who was nutty enough to try them for the very first time, we should nevertheless thank them. Putting together these remarkable ingredients adds up to a true taste explosion. Do you dare give these a try?<\/b><\/p>\n

Odd but surprisingly good food combinations<\/h2>\n

Chocolate & Chili<\/b>
\nCategory: Sweet and Spice
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate is heavenly! Who wouldn\u2019t agree? But what if we gave it a devilish punch by adding some chilies?<\/p>\n

Think of hot chocolate with a hint of chili, a dark chocolate bar with chili flakes, a chocolate chili con carne\u2026 Mmm\u2026<\/p>\n

Taste how heaven and hell collide on your tongue and you won\u2019t ever want your chocolate any other way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

French fries & Strawberry milkshake<\/b>
\nCategory: Sweet and Salty<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember when you dipped your French fry in your milkshake for the very first time? And remember your friends\u2019 stares of indignation?<\/p>\n

You shouldn\u2019t be ashamed! The French fries & milkshake combination is an all-time classic and deserves all the recognition possible! (Fries and strawberry milkshake is my personal favorite!)<\/p>\n

The ice cold delight of sweet and salty, hearty and fresh\u2026
\nSo don\u2019t be ashamed, forget about ketchup and start dipping those fries in something unexpected for a change!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sandwiches & Potato chips<\/b>
\nCategory: Fluffy and Crunchy<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is not about adding saltiness to your sandwich. This is not about club sandwiches with chips on the side. This is about having the actual potato chips as your sandwich filling!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the bite that makes this combination work. Imagine a mouth full of fluffy bread and crunchy crisps.<\/p>\n

Additional tip: Tomato ketchup!<\/p>\n

Hmpff\u2026 Crsshhh\u2026 Mmm\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Banana & Avocado<\/b>
\nCategory: Creamy and Sweet<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Avocado is incredibly versatile. It balances spicy food (think nachos with hot tomato salsa and guacamole), it adds body to your salad and it even works well as a butter substitute in baking recipes.<\/p>\n

However, did you ever drink it?!<\/p>\n

Besides being versatile and incredibly nutritious, avocado has a nice subtle creamy taste. Mix it with a sweet ripe banana and it\u2019s perfect!<\/p>\n

A creamy sweet banana and avocado smoothie makes the perfect breakfast for an energetic day!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bacon & Maple syrup<\/b>
\nCategory: Sweet and Savory<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This might not be the most obvious combination to put on your pancake, but it\u2019s truly an iconic one. So iconic, that it was actually bottled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about the salty crunch of crispy bacon and the addition of a syrupy sweet liquid.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just good on pancakes! Combine both in a muffin, a cookie or caramelize the marinated bacon in the oven and eat it as a delicious snack.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s totally up to you, but you\u2019d be a fool not to try this classic!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cream cheese, Toast & Jelly<\/b>
\nCategory: Sweet and Salty<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Toast with jelly is good. Toast with cream cheese is good. But toast with both cream cheese and jelly is even better! No matter what kind of cream cheese or jelly you use.<\/p>\n

Some knock-out combinations:
\nBasic: Cream cheese + Raspberry jelly
\nHearty: Goat cream cheese + Peach jelly
\nClassic: Chocolate cream cheese + Cherry jelly
\nFresh: Mint cream cheese + Citrus jelly<\/p>\n

Let all these flavors fight over your taste buds and may the best combination win!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strawberries & Balsamic<\/b>
\nCategory: Sweet and sour<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine the end of a beautiful summer\u2019s day. The sun is getting low, and the temperature drops from hot to a pleasant evening glow. And on the table; big sweet juicy strawberries\u2026 So good!<\/p>\n

But, it could be better! Well, at least regarding the strawberries that is. If you\u2019re a fan of strawberries and you haven\u2019t considered giving this combination with balsamic a try, then you\u2019re missing out on something extraordinary!<\/p>\n

The balsamic brings out both the color and taste of the strawberries. So yes, it does get even better!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mmm\u2026 This made me hungry! And right now, these combinations don\u2019t seem odd, they seem particularly tasty. What do you think? Because as always, it\u2019s all a matter of taste!<\/p>\n
