Sweet pickles and gravy… do I eat it? Will I ever tell you? Who knows?
Quirky food pairings are kind of interesting though. For example, ketchup on waffles is one I’m willing to own up to. I used to have a chemistry teacher who got a big kick out of telling us he liked mustard on apple pie. I think he just liked to watch our faces scrinch up. Come to think of it, there was this one student who wasn’t phased by the idea. Hmmmm. A gherkin in the martini. Dill pickles in a peanut butter sandwich. And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. Oops! I withdraw the nauseam part. Jump right in here if you have a quirky food pairing of your own that you’re willing to ‘fess up to.
Here are three of my favorites from the past.
Canned Spinach with Miracle Whip.
Canned half pears with Miracle Whip and grated cheese.
Beer and cheap Bama pecan pies. Haven’t had a beer in 25 years, so that one is not recommended.
