Always looking for new food ideas.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
I used to work at a pizzeria that had fig, pistachio, and arugula dressed with truffle honey. It was very popular.
Okay now THAT is weird. How did they prepare the pear? Big slices or little?
That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.
That’s…actually a good point. Maybe not as weird as I thought.
Not that weird, just relatively uncommon. I can recommend it, try one if you can :)
Jazz up a quesadilla by adding a little thin sliced apple or pear. Good ol super market cheddar is an excellent cheese choice.

I love that sweet and salty. Sea salt caramel. Prosciutto fig pizza. Chocolate pretzels.
I’ve had similar pizzas in the US. “Sweet pizzas”, so to speak, were all the rage in the mid 2010s. More often, they were branded as flatbreads.
I’ve made pizza topped with a brandy peach sauce (peaches sautéed in brandy, nutmeg, butter), bourbon blueberry syrup, and taleggio. Even better is peaches, arugula, and brie.
My favorite kind of pizza is a bacon lettuce tomato, with a mess of mayo to top it off. Chefs kiss*
I’ve had a similar one too! Very good. Non citrus fruit + funky cheese, + nuts is always a great combo.
Not unusual but not common is fish sauce on your fried or scrambled eggs.
I have also seen someone added fish sauce into their chili. Not a lot, just a splash for the whole pot. It works.
I use it instead of Worcestershire sauce in my gravies.
Do not use Worcestershire sauce as embalming fluid!
Shut up, Dadboat, you’re not my real dad!
I love adding fish sauce to my stir fry with eggs, this sounds like it would work similarly

Peanut butter on hamburgers. Really nice contrast especially if you also include pickles
This is the one I came here to post. Tried it at a brew pub I liked, I figured they wouldn’t steer me wrong.
It’s a bit messy once the burger starts really melting the peanut butter, but it reminded me of satay w/ peanut sauce.
No pickles for me though, I can’t seem to get with the taste of cucumber in any form I’ve tried.
A can of condensed tomato soup, 1 can of milk, pad of butter, 1/2 cup(or more) instant rice. Lets soup come to near boil, turn off heat, add rice., cover and let steep for about 8 minutes.
I sometimes will toss in tomato soup instead of water when using a rice cooker when I’m sick and just want carbs and salt and liquid. It’s adequate.
Dr Pepper and kumquats.

Stop banging the bread, thanks.
-
Vanilla ice cream and/or raspberry sorbet topped with pitch black, salty sweet licorice sauce. (common only in Denmark afaik)
-
“Birnen, Bohnen und Speck”, a stew made from pears, green beans, bacon and a herb called satureja/savory. The pears in this one are a certain old breed, that is pretty hard and sour before cooking. (This is a local delicacy from the city of Hamburg in northern Germany)
-
Watermelon and feta cheese, especially during hot summer days (common in mediterranean countries)
-
Pickled cucumbers and feta cheese (those are eaten as a combo around the black sea afaik)

i like to dunk left over fries in vanilla icecream.
my coworkers thought i was mad when they witnessed me doing that.
Back in the day when Wendy’s served steak fries I used to dip them in my frosty.
Aye, this is the classic way to eat out at the red-haired chick’s place.
I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!
I’ve tried that, not my thing but some people swear by it
Avocado in chicken soup. Add to the bowl, not the pot. You’ll never eat it without again.
Also cilantro
Oh god. You’ve just summoned them….
PrayingTheyHaven’tHeard🤞
I sort of accidentally discovered that when dining at the local cantina.
The restaurant did something neat in serving an appetizer of guacamole on top of pico de gallo. For whatever reason I decided to dump the whole thing in to the bowl of spicy, chicken-black bean soup I was having. The contrast in flavors, and cooked vs fresh, spicy vs cool was an instant game changer. Indeed, I never looked back from there.
Rosemary + Strawberry (Jam)
Fresh Strawberries mixed and cooked with rosemary twigs then sieved
Can be diluted with water as a sort of lemonade.
Or it can be further processed as a jam.
I like to use it as a thin topping on a chocolate or hazelnut spread :)
Sort of like a PB&J but instead a S&B?Strawberry is also really good with basil or mint in a cocktail.
Havent tried basil. I have tried with lemon balm and mint. The mint I chose with the strawberry basically tasted like strawberry toothpaste xD It tasted great though.

My girlfriends’ mom makes rosemary + grape jam.
Absolutely great on pâté I hear!
Also mango jam is very nice with yogurt
Want another suggestion?
Try to get ahold of Yuzu marmelade. Usually can be bought at the asian supermarket.
Mix that with yoghurt and optionally oatmeal.
This might sound wild… But buttered chicken/curry is a fantastic dipping sauce for pizza.
Order a pizza, order some curry, eat the whole pizza… It’s so good
Fuck that sounds decadent 🤤
Seriously! You gotta try it! We did it with both cheese and pepperoni pizza and both were some of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
My wife makes an awesome chocolate chili.
Now it’s an open secret that a bit of dark chocolate adds more flavor and “richness” to a bowl of chili. But she cranks it up to 11 and puts about 200 grams of chocolate into a 3 liter pot. It’s spicy, savory and sweet, and tastes like you’re eating dinner and dessert at the same time. I love it, and so did anyone who’s ever tried it.
This sounds pretty similar to “mole” which is a Mexican dish.
I put cinnamon and brown sugar in my chili when I want it to be sweeter, recommended to anyone looking to switch things up.
Avocado and Worcestershire sauce
Cheese and jam
Cheese and honey
Best crepe I ever had. I like to make them with gouda and hot honey. Goats cheese and normal honey also slaps.
Not sure whether it’s unusual, but at least it took many years to be introduced to combining any chocolate dessert with red wine.
The richer the better
One night we were making oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies, and I dipped a Frito corn chip in the cookie dough.
We decided to only make a half batch of cookies and used the rest for Frito dip.
Yes. We were high.
