What food combinations do you like that people find "weird"? What made you come up with those combinations? I personally enjoy watermelon and cheese. My family thinks it's weird. I saw it years ago, in a Top Chef episode. I love cheese so I tried it. I also like vanilla ice cream and cucumber. I don't know where I got that idea! I guess I was just bored one day...

When I lived by my grandma, I had this idea to eat a new kind of white bread. I slathered butter on it, say 4 mm of it, spooned strawberry jelly on it and then I put 3 spoonfulls of sugar on top of it all. I used to love it, but now I can't even look at the butter or smell it, let alone taste it.

Yes, I left the jelly out and put less butter and sugar on it, but now I don't eat even that. I guess I've turned my whole focus on chocolate and caramel ice cream with creme brulee. And I forgot to mention one other weird food combination, grandma fried potatoes on a pan and added scrambled eggs to it. Loved it.

Chocolate and caramel ice cream plus creme brulee???!!! Yum. Fried potatoes with scrambled eggs is not so weird, but I agree that it tastes great!

I have a couple of weird food combinations that make my family wrinkle their noses. I like sliced tomatoes on my peanut butter sandwiches and I like to eat fried cabbage with my eggs and bacon in the mornings.

Oh wow! I am going to try the fried cabbage! I love tomatoes but I dislike peanut butter... I have this feeling that I'm going to dislike that combination. I will try that when I'm brave enough, though! :)

Shred your cabbage and fry it in butter with a little salt and pepper. Yum.

I think the combination of fruit salad and fried rice is a little weird to people but it tastes great. A few years ago I was at my grandparents' house watching TV and I was searching the fridge for food. The only thing in the fridge was some fruit salad and leftover fried rice so I ate them both together. It tasted so good, I think I might make a recipe: 1 cup fruit salad, 1 cup hot fried rice.

Oh my gosh, this is so interesting! I love fruit salad and fried rice but I never tried them together. It reminds me of those rice salads... but better! Does the fruit salad have to be cold when you mix them together? I'm totally trying this!

I have several food combination preferences which others may find weird. To begin with, your watermelon and cheese combo is not unusual; there are variations on a watermelon, feta cheese, and onion salad on Food Network and elsewhere. It's a great combination. I like mixing sweet and salty or savory, as in fruit in meat dishes or stews, pretzels or potato chips in ice cream sundaes. I also like fruits and nuts in green salads, even with vinaigrette types of dressings. I like beets and cottage cheese, with or without salad dressing. I like tuna mixed with cottage cheese and tomato. Cream cheese and jelly and boucheron goat cheese and jalapeno jelly are two other favorite combinations.

This is a very extensive list, thanks for your response. I've tried pretty much everything you've written down except the beets and jelly combinations. I didn't know watermelon and cheese was a usual combination... good to know.

I, too, was surprised to learn of the watermelon-feta cheese combination. It's good and it works. Beets are usually paired with goat cheese or blue cheese, both of which I also like. But the beet-cottage cheese combo is one I do for myself when I need something quick or not to caloric.

I eat chips with vinegar. I also dip french fries on sundaes. That's the weirdest food combination I had.

It's a literal ice cream sandwich! That is so cool! I used to put ice cream in pandesal... which is basically bread. But I guess everyone has done that?

When I was small, I used to love these weird combinations: Chocolate with tuna, Honey with cheese, Peanut butter with salad, (as a sandwich) And- chicken soup with lettuce.

Chicken soup with lettuce is not so weird... I've tried it and it works well! But I will definitely like to try all the others. Very interesting...

I love dipping banana in shrimp paste. I also eat french fries dipped in sundae, my friends also find it weird that I soak green mangoes in soy sauce. Well I guess there are some things that other people may find as weird combination, but actually the perfect combination for us. =)

I have always loved cooked bologna with barbecue sauce sandwiches. I also like bacon and cheese sandwiches. When I go to Wendys, I like a chocolate frosty and fries and I dip my fries in the frosty. When I was pregnant, I actually craved dill pickles on spumoni ice cream lol.

Everything you said sounds really good to me! It's all so very tasty. Well, except for the pickles and ice cream... I don't think I'd like that! Haha!

HELLO! Is chocolate-covered bacon weird? I like that. Also mayonnaise with fish. I don't know if that is weird enough.

I cut up lemons, cover them with salt, and eat them. I read about that in a magazine once,years ago, decided to try it, and...well I was hooked. I love sour stuff in general, except for limes, strangely enough.

Oh I do that! I also do that with oranges! Sour things are really great, but I won't eat them all the time. Thanks for sharing!
