    Bacon and water melon. Discovered by accident when I was late going on my offshore shift. I swung by the galley just to pick up something so I wouldn’t run on fumes for the next 6 hours before breakfast. Upon entering the back deck, I stuffed it all in my mouth to free up my hands, and that’s when I noticed the godly combination.

      I’ve seen plenty people eating ham with melons, so this combo doesn’t look weird at all for me.

      Pick up some Tajín at the grocery store and sprinkle it on your watermelon, if you want even more flavor!

    It’s probably due to being my “struggle food” as a child but there is no better snack than just a blob of butter between two saltine crackers. It’s heaven

            I’ve lived in and visited Japan and it’s definitely weird over there. I’m sure you can find it, though. They do like mayo. They even put it on pizza.

    My grandfather taught me the sublime joy of fresh bread smeared with fresh butter, wild honey, and garlic powder.

    Most people I told about that would start singing that old Sesame Street song: 🎶 three of these things belong together… 🎵 after giving me side-eye and realizing I wasn’t joking.

        It looks like it’s a thing now, likely an infection from the USA. But back then it was considered really weird.

      We call it Spezi and Mezzo Mix in Germany. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo_Mix ( To be fair, it’s with orange soda not orange juice )

      I drink half cola half wine. People scream bloody murder at me. I don’t care - it’s awesome. (If trying it do it with cheap wine, it’s a waste to do it with good wine.)

        In Germany that’s called Cola Red or Cola White depending on the wine. It’s what we used to pre-game before Vodka Red bull existed.
        In my area, Cola Red was called Korea for some reason.

    Does eating meat with the bones count? Ever since I’ve had teeth I’ve loved eating bones. I remember telling my friend how good bones are and she looked at me like I had three eyes…

      You mean the bone marrow? That’s not really uncommon, I’ve had bone marrow on bread at restaurants.

      If you’re swallowing the cooked bone itself… you’re gonna die dude. Puncture an organ or something.

    Stop looking me weird when I eat banana with gorgonzola, folks! It’s actually tasty.

    Also, at least in my chunk of South America, people look at the eggs+pork combo as something outright gross, but I got to admit that I love some pork sausages with fried eggs.

    Triple fried egg sandwich with chilli sauce and chutney. It’s state of the art. I found the recipe in a book on bacteriological warfare. It’s like a cross between food and bowel surgery. It’s well naughty.
