Trish: Odd Food Pairings Can Be Tasty

A few months back, Dustin and I were creating ham sandwiches for lunch when I bemoaned the fact we had no regular potato chips… because nothing tastes better than a ham sandwich crammed full of those crispy critters. It got us discussing the odd foods that can sometimes be paired together with surprisingly tasty results. I mentioned to Dustin how in our youth, my friends and I used to dump peanuts into our Coke. He was stunned. I thought everyone did that, but maybe it was just a southern thing. Then he mentioned one of his own favorites, dunking French fries into his Wendy’s Frosty. I was stunned. Yes, French fries with gravy, that I can understand, but in ice cream? Really?!/Trish Gannon (Politically Incorrect/River Journal). More here.

Question: Remember when Trish Gannon/River Journal asked Hucks Nation to provide some odd food pairings that various Hucksters found scrumptious? Well, she's used some of your comments in a recent Politically Incorrect column here. Feel free to suggest other odd pairings of foods in the thread below.
