What excellent or weird combinations do you like?

I've become obsessed with a new treat: ginger nut biscuits and cheap dark/plain chocolate. Most supermarket own brand "dark" chocolate is not that dark, it's just not milky like milk chocolate. Like a decent plain chocolate.

The ginger in the biscuits makes the chocolate seem creamier and sweeter, and the sugar in the chocolate makes the spicy ginger cut through beautifully. I take one square of chocolate and one biscuit, and eat them in 3 nibbles. It seems like a good way to pace myself but I can demolish two rows of chocolate and 6 biscuits like this

So what's your weird combo?

That's a classic combo!

I recently discovered pain au chocolat and marmalade. If you're a fan of chocolate or age, it's fantastic.

Ooooh is it like a fancy Jaffa Cake? That would be amazing!

Peanut butter and marmite toast sandwich! Makes it yummy and adds an extra savoury layer to the peanutter.

You have landed on my ultimate snack, I can eat this every single day

I just do one layer of each on a slice of toast though, 2 slices. That's a lot of peanut calories!

Beef and star anise. We put a couple of star anise in with beef that is being slow cooked and it tastes amazing.

A few weeks back we had slow cooked beef cheek pie, with suet pastry and it was heavenly.

Ooooh like a Thai massaman? Beef, potato, star anise, peanuts... One of my faves!

Corned beef and tomato ketchup sandwiches.

Cooked or out of the tin though? My mum used to dice corned beef and onions and put it on toast, with mustard, and put back under the grill. Heaven.

Eat a packet of ready salted crisps…

Then stuff a Kit Kat down your neck

Classic playground combination that, plain salted Hula Hoops and a KitKat. Excellent.

I stir cheese into beans until it’s completely melted. Is that weird?

Pretty classic I thought. At LEAST get the cheese on there when the beans are so hot it melts right down.
