food combos that work...but wierd

I was thinking of one of these threads last week but spells of desperado

Would fish & Roast potatoes be acceptable

Bovril & lettuce

Curry and salad

donut burger reds barbecue leeds, 2 donuts with 2 burgers bacon cheese fried onions inside - lovely

Fish and roast potatoes sounds quite nice.


But Cheddar and marmalade?!

haven't actually tried it yet Diva .. will report back

You do that, Moonbeam.

I think white fish would be best. Cod and roast potatoes. With some runner beans perhaps?

I'm getting hungry thinking about it.

I usually buy the bags of Aunt bessies mash for fish , but they're bad value & sick of buying them for the odd meal & still have a huge bag of Aunt bessies roasties clogging up my freezer .

That's your tea sorted for tomorrow then.

Curry and Yorkshire pudding. Think about it though... roast beef left over from Sunday, made into curry, served in leftover yorkshires. I'm surprised it's not a hit in Bradford. Heston Blumenthal would want forty quid for that!

I've got the fish frozen , 2 nice packs from The Funky Fish Kitchen

cod fillets with a cider , roasted shallot & chive beurre blanc sauce

It's actually all the extra's veg or salad , ready made mash that costs the moneyz

Ooh, I do like Yorkshire pudding and marmalade

not really the money , just never buy it , and then fancy the Fish


hence it's been frozen for Weeks !!!

You sound like quite a keen cook, Moonbeam.

Marmalade's disgusting imo

used to like it as a kid , but they don't put enough orange strands in it & the actual marmalade is just horrible orange jelly

yep , i don't mind cooking , just wish i had more time , so if i'm going to cook i like to cook a big decent meal , still learning though

I'd have thought you had plenty of time to cook, Moonbeam.

I've never had marmalade with cheddar but strawberry jam with cheddar on a cracker is nice

I'm going to try the marmalade cheddar combo.

Be right back.

That is quite scrummy

I'm going to buy some crackers tomorrow

Just had some more

You lot are leading me astray.

Last week it was Moonbeam with the ice-cream, and now this.

I'm off to bed before anyone suggests anything else I might like to try.

night night

Ice cream & marmalade ... NO!!

sleep tight Diva

pop tarts and caviar

Cheese and blackcurrant jam sarnie on the same theme.

One of the best things I've tried lately was a beetroot mousse, not really something you can just buy off the shelf, but it really was fantastic.

pasta and chips. im always told its not right cos its two carbs. obviously its not healthy and i dont have it very often, but it does go together surprisingly well.

Cheddar and marmalade sounds like a fat persons combination.

Tuna mayonnaise on very lightly toasted wholemeal bread is lush (is an actual dish but could be classed as weird combination).

lager & chocolate

pasta & chips urrgh! what a combination. Do you salt & vinegar the chips, or ( dare i ask) the pasta?

lol no. nothing to the chips. works best with cheesy pasta. the cheese then becomes a bit of sauce for the chips too.

Why isn't pasta and chips healthy?
It's an excellent combination from a digestive point of view.

When i was skint i used to get chips and mashed potatoe and salad cream from the works canteen, or mashed potato, peas and salad cream.  Canteens are really cheap if you only eat the sides.

One that regularly appears on "foodie" programmes is "Queen Scallops & Black Pudding"!

Totally alien to each other and yet must work somehow.

I like both, and yet never got round to having them together, so must make an effort.

peanut butter sandwich with slices of tomato, black pepper.
