Food combinations that others might think are weird

Oooh I love marmite and I love cucumber, can even imagine cucumber sticks with marmite, but for some reason the idea of them together in a sandwich is not hitting right for me!
How did you discover it??

@Biblioklept as a child I can remember eating it at a neighbours house back in the 60s. My mum then starting making them and we have passed the love onto my son. Yummy, I fancy one now.
I enjoy artisan bread nowadays but for some reason this sandwich tastes nicer if made with packaged white sliced bread 😄and the cucumber needs to be very thinly sliced.

When we were young we used to eat 'pobs' - bread broken up with hot milk and sugar, it was gross. Had to eat it for breakfast when we had no cereals. And sugar butties ! Ha, wouldn't eat either now.

Got to be crunchy for me. Smooth just ends up sticking to the roof of my mouth.
Ooh, that's one I like; Fishfingers, crunchy peanut butter and franks hot sauce, in a plain white bread sarnie. 😋0 -
Another one is Marmite pasta. Sis is addicted to the stuff, but t's certainly an acquired taste, even if you like marmite.
Cheese and marmite toasties are delicious though.0 -
I agree with you about the core bottles, but some of their more niche ones do taste a bit like acetone, iodine, bandages and such
I imagine Charlie has been a patron ever since he crash landed his plane at their distillery about 30 years ago and caused £1m in damage … I guess they felt compelled to forget about the cost and he felt compelled to give them his warrant 😆

Laphroaig is the only whisky I like, to me it taste smoky & a little fruity, but, that's just me! 😆I have syphoned petrol, but wouldn't say it has those notes, just the burn.
@Santosha12, I also had bread sop as a kid, but with cold milk & the sugar sandwiches too! Oh, those were the days!!

Growing up with a functioning alcoholic father who would stop off at the pub for a half pint of whiskey (literally in a 1/2 pint glass) the smell alone is enough to turn my stomach … would rather drink petrol 😁
Marmite crisps, love them but couldn't eat the real thing.
All this talk of cucumber … love it, but an hour later even with my GERD tablets it hates me with a vengeance. A bit of a mickey take really when I'm religiously looking after 3 cuc' plants for my wife to have them
With food, if I don't like the texture the taste doesn't matter

@JessieJ I love a Laphroaig but in the winter. We live in a modern house without a fireplace and it makes me feel like I’m sitting in my granny’s old cottage with the fire roaring 😊
@Ranald Are you a bit into whisk(e)y? I’m fortunate to have had something from most of the distilleries in Scotland and Ireland, and would enjoy recommending some smaller/boutique/craft distilleries
There’s a tasty world to explore outside of well-known brands, not to mention so much more value for money! I’ve sampled stuff from Glenfiddich, Macallan, Dalmore etc. which were perfectly yummy, but didn’t do more for me than £50 lesser-known brands. If I’d paid £400 of my own money for a bottle of one of these I’d honestly have felt quite let down
That said taste is definitely subjective!
@WelshBlue that’s funny about texture, I can relate! Have you ever liked a taste and felt sad you couldn’t appreciate it because the texture was a barrier? I had that with porridge as I love the oaty taste but not the texture

@66Mustang … definitely … love scampi - hate prawns because of the texture. Love peanuts - hate peanut butter for the same reason. Love eggs poached/ fried/ boiled - hate scrambled and omelette
Biggest hate - twiglets. My brain just rejects the texture before even going in my mouth to the point I gag at people eating them in front of me
It's weird really cos' in the past I've thought nothing of eating a sandwich with all sorts of oils and chemicals on my hands that you can taste let alone smell
Not that I'd ever order a cheese and onion sandwich with a dressing of hydraulic oil or potassium nitrates 🤣 … no wonder my stomach is in bits …

@WelshBlue I kind of get it I think, I've been through similar periods of having a strong stomach and putting very stupid stuff in my mouth, and then others of being super sensitive to the point that brushing my teeth made me gag… 😆

We're all weird in our own ways 😛
Texture can extend to touch with me … don't mind raw pork or beef … give me a raw chicken breast and it's radioactive.
I think I would be the most squeamish serial killer in history 😂
… but actually got more important things to worry about … shaved half my face and head - then the clippers have packed in. And have to be somewhere in an hour. Will have to film people' reaction lol

@WelshBlue my mum is like that, she used to be a nurse and she said after working in theatre she can no longer cut raw meat as her mind imagines the likeness to human tissue … she's fine cooking and a brilliant cook, just someone else has to cut chicken and stuff
I hope you have a good day. 😊

Salt in coffee!!!
I do think my coffee tastes less bitter, as the article said it would. I certainly can't taste the salt 😊 I don't use sugar and always heat the milk to make that a bit sweeter.
Plus, since Mustang has finally returned, I should mention this is Japanese coffee - I didn't know there was such a thing but the packet was damaged and I paid a quarter of the original price.

As coffee isn't strictly a food, I'll also mention the banana and white pepper sandwiches my dad introduced me to 😄

in South Africa we have rice with everything even on Sunday dinners

@durhamjaide2001 I once saw some South Africans ordering chips with their curry and rice… with the naan bread, having 3 kinds of carbs at once seemed wrong to me 😂

How much salt do you use? I'm assuming you don't measure by the teaspoon like with sugar!!
Sadly I'm not a coffee drinker anymore as I'm taking new meds which react with caffeine so I've switched to tea… I can have the odd coffee so will have to try it with salt
How did you find the Japanese coffee compared to normal?
0 -
Haha just a pinch! It was good and strong (Japan's no 1 coffee it boasts). I would only add the salt with fresh ground though. I recommend decaff Colombian as I could barely detect any difference in flavour.
