What excellent or weird combinations do you like?

Another one I like is marmite and English mustard on buttered toast. A massive umami hit, even more with a bit of grated cheese.

Last night i made Tuna + onion + mayo + french mustard In a sandwich with sliced gherkins.

Pretty tasty!

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.

Chicken nuggets with a Pot Noodle emptied on top of them.

Sausages and rice.

Not a million miles away but I'll sometimes have instant noodles (usually the KOKA brand or similar) with some southern fried or spicy chicken fillets.

Super noodles on toast is pretty great.

As an alternative, a Tuna Cocktail Sandwich is one of my favourites.

Tomato ketchup, salad cream (or mayonnaise) mixed up with the Tuna, black pepper, Tabasco and lettuce, tomato, cucumber topping.

I do that, not in a sandwich but cold pasta shells all mixed in

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

I had a mac and cheese baguette once...... it was amazing but I needed a nap afterwards.

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

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.

Using star anise with beef is a legit cheffy technique! It doesn't even have to leave a detectable "star anise" flavour if you go gently with it, but it just lifts the whole dish.

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

crisp sandwich (white bread, plain walkers, cut into 4 squares) dunked into tomato soup (whatever kind you like)

yea you get little bits of crisp in your soup, but it's worth it

I've been doing this for years, not unknown for me to go through an entire 6 pack in one go. Though I usually stick to Heinz chicken soup nowadays cos Heinz tomato has gone seriously down hill.
