Always looking for new food ideas.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
I’ve had a similar one too! Very good. Non citrus fruit + funky cheese, + nuts is always a great combo.
My favorite kind of pizza is a bacon lettuce tomato, with a mess of mayo to top it off. Chefs kiss*
I used to work at a pizzeria that had fig, pistachio, and arugula dressed with truffle honey. It was very popular.
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.
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.
Rosemary + Strawberry (Jam)
Fresh Strawberries mixed and cooked with rosemary twigs then sieved
Can be diluted with qater 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?My girlfriends’ mom makes rosemary + grape jam.
Absolutely great on pâté I hear!
Also mango jam is very nice with yogurt
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.
Not unusual but not common is fish sauce on your fried or scrambled eggs.
fish sauce and a little cornstarch (optional) in your scrambled egg mix and then dump it into screaming oil for 30 seconds and you get a basic thai omelette. Sooooooo good with sriracha.
I love adding fish sauce to my stir fry with eggs, this sounds like it would work similarly
I have also seen someone added fish sauce into their chili. Not a lot, just a splash for the whole pot. It works.
I do this. All the umami.
I use it instead of Worcestershire sauce in my gravies.
There’s fish in Worcestershire sauce, iirc…
I hadn’t known that, until reading the fine print…
Do not use Worcestershire sauce as embalming fluid!
I rather go for soy sauce and a bit of starch in the beaten egg to make really thin umami omelette type things.
Dr Pepper and kumquats.
Dr. Pepper mixes surprisingly well with a lot of things. It’s kinda wild.
Dr Pepper and kum
quatsftfy
Stop banging the bread, thanks.
Plain Potato chips and pretzels.
We used to make peanut butter sandwiches with potato chips. I haven’t had one since I was like 14 and need to try one again.
Dip your pretzel sticks or Salzstangen in mustard.
Trust me and thank me later.
Dijon mustard on a soft pretzel is also incredible
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.
A can of milk?
Yes, empty the can of condensed soup into a pot, then fill the empty can with milk instead of water then empty than into the pot.
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.
I don’t agree but I get called weird for putting applesauce on my macncheese
Sweet BBQ mac and cheese is really good, so this sounds pretty similar
Definitely weird but I’ll try it
Yeah, you’re weird.
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🤞
Y’all are just making sopa de tortilla now
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.
Okay I have a secret recipe from when I was a kid.
Brioche + cheddar slice + hamburger (the frozen kind)
The sweetness of the brioche makes the recipe, it’s also super easy to make, pop the meat in a microwave for a couple minutes and it’s ready to assemble.
I love using Hawaiian rolls/buns/bread for like, anything really lol.
i like to dunk left over fries in vanilla icecream.
my coworkers thought i was mad when they witnessed me doing that.
I’ve tried that, not my thing but some people swear by it
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!
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.
Peanuts & breakfast cereal.
-
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)
-
Peanut butter, jelly, salami, and giardiniera.
