Food combinations that others might think are weird

@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 😄

My Acid & Bile Reflux just look at any good and say that it’s strange!

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?

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.

Hi 66Mustang, I don't have a grinder but that's an interesting idea! Not sure if the salt would be evenly distributed or if it would spoil ground coffee in storage.
I just add the teeniest bit to the hot drink ☕️

I've just tried coffee before and after adding a pinch of salt
Like you I have it with no sugar, but I add milk
You're right… the salt is undetectable to me, but I can very much tell it takes the "edge" off the coffee. That's not something that overly concerns me so I think I'll be having it without, as I probably eat enough salt anyway so no point increasing my intake, but thanks for sharing the tip… it was interesting and I'll pass it on 😊
