Always looking for new food ideas.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
I used to work at a pizzeria that had fig, pistachio, and arugula dressed with truffle honey. It was very popular.
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.
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.
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*
pizza with jalapeños and pineapple, the spicy-sweet was pretty good
Add garlic and it’s my “to go to” pizza since nearly 25 years
My favorite pizza toppings
This feels like a more widely available of habanero mango combination
Peanut butter on hamburgers. Really nice contrast especially if you also include pickles
This is the one I came here to post. Tried it at a brew pub I liked, I figured they wouldn’t steer me wrong.
It’s a bit messy once the burger starts really melting the peanut butter, but it reminded me of satay w/ peanut sauce.
No pickles for me though, I can’t seem to get with the taste of cucumber in any form I’ve tried.
Not unusual but not common is fish sauce on your fried or scrambled eggs.
I have also seen someone added fish sauce into their chili. Not a lot, just a splash for the whole pot. It works.
I use it instead of Worcestershire sauce in my gravies.
Do not use Worcestershire sauce as embalming fluid!
Shut up, Dadboat, you’re not my real dad!
There’s fish in Worcestershire sauce, iirc…
I hadn’t known that, until reading the fine print…
And thus, most Bloody Mary mixes as well.
I do this. All the umami.
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 rather go for soy sauce and a bit of starch in the beaten egg to make really thin umami omelette type things.
French fries with vinegar. Ok, not unusual if you’re British, but delicious even if you aren’t.
I discovered the vinegar as a condiment with vinegar salt potato chips. Then I found out the fries. Sooooo good.
I am the only one in my family who likes vinegar on fries.
I do prefer apple cider vinegar over regular vinegar, but I’m more than happy to slather any available vinegar I can on.
Well, malt vinegar.
-
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)
-
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.
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.
That sounds good too.
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 like to dunk left over fries in vanilla icecream.
my coworkers thought i was mad when they witnessed me doing that.
Back in the day when Wendy’s served steak fries I used to dip them in my frosty.
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!
I always get a chocolate Sunday and dip the fries in.
I’ve tried that, not my thing but some people swear by it
I like to do it with ‘fresh’ fries. The hot fry and cold vanilla shake/ice cream combo is amazing to me.
This might sound wild… But buttered chicken/curry is a fantastic dipping sauce for pizza.
Order a pizza, order some curry, eat the whole pizza… It’s so good
Fuck that sounds decadent 🤤
Seriously! You gotta try it! We did it with both cheese and pepperoni pizza and both were some of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
Pickles and anything
Pickles and more pickles
Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The sweet and tangy go sooooo well together!
Oh yeah! I also add jalapenos too.
I enjoy a good Hawaiian pizza. But this combo is way better.
Grapes in a chicken/tuna salad sandwich. Totally different experience with the diced grapes
Apples too. But I’m not sure this is unusual. Even Arby’s sells a chicken salad sandwich with grapes and apples in it.
Dang, did not know that, I’ve only been to Arby’s once
Mexican flavoured penang curry
Wait, that sounds really good. Can you elaborate on the specifics?
Cinnamon raisin bagel. Toasted with some thick slices of aged cheddar and a nice hotsauce. I like valentina, but siracha is good too.
Dr Pepper and kumquats.
Dr. Pepper mixes surprisingly well with a lot of things. It’s kinda wild.

Stop banging the bread, thanks.
