My father used to make mayonnaise and oreo sandwiches (but just the cookie, not the cream filling).
Maybe he was pregnant the whole time!
Or a COVID test if you’ve still got one knocking about
No one with taste buds over the age of 8 does this
To be faaaaair… Waldorf Salad is a thing.
Yeah, for old people whose olfactory senses have gone
Honestly even with half of the flavours there that justify that (the walnuts go a long way towards justifying the fruit and mayo combo): the preparation is very important here
Needs brown sugar with the walnuts.
It shouldn’t be, though.
or chicken salad with grapes. sounds awful to me but apparently there’s a lot of people who like it
surprisingly good, but the grapes have to be cut up. Eating a mouthful of chicken salad only to have something squishy suddenly burst in your mouth is not a pleasant experience.
It’s not amazing, but it cuts the richness of the otherwise salt and fat heavy dish (especially in the Midwest where it’s like equal parts mayo and chicken)
no different than relish in tuna fish salad
but yea small bits
whole cherry tomatoes in salads have the same issue imo and should be cut smaller
Idk, could be fun with champagne grapes, they’re super tiny so it wouldn’t mess with the texture.
Chicken, apples, craisins and mayo. With plenty of black pepper.
Yeah this is the tits. I also like it with some celery and a tiny bit of red onion and finely chopped walnuts - sweet/savory, so so good.
Pecans>walnuts
Truth.
covid makes you lose your appetite, this seems like cravings.
My mom used to make a fruit salad with apples, oranges, grapes, and mayo. I hated mayo and fruits for a long time as a kid until I learned they taste much better seperate.
Tell me u are from the US without telling me that you are from the US lol
More specifically Midwest is my guess
It would be more acceptable but I’m actually Canadian with a mother who has no regard for human taste buds
I mean… If I had those three ingredients in the fridge about to go bad, I might give it a try.
Well, I’d probably fry the bread with the mayo and eat the grapes on the side. But point is, I’ll eat weird things to avoid throwing out food.
They still sell them at the pharmacies
right, like I love mayonnaise, but this ain’t pickles and peanut butter. this is wrong, not right.
For my wife it was a hot dog and
M&Msjellybeans for breakfast. It was after that, we found out she was preggish.Edit: My wife corrected me.
Some weird combinations work. My favorite example is grape jelly and chili sauce mixed at 50/50 each and slow cooked over meatballs. Sounds crazy but actually really tasty.
Basically a thai sweet chili sauce!
What do you put it on besides meatballs?
It’s great on fried chicken or even just white rice.
I remember when Buffalo Wings first came along, and I was wondering what I was supposed to do with the blue cheese dressing, and the server said “People say you dip the wings in it.” I tried it, and it blew my mind.
Who would have thought? One of the great food inventions of my life.
That recipe is quite popular in the Midwest!
It’s surprisingly hard to find chili sauce in Texas though…
that actually sounds reasonable though.
Baked apple/Velveeta casserole is waaaaay better than most would imagine. It’s so, so good.
Ok… You got my curiosity, got a recipe?
This seems to be the one:
https://www.literatureandleisure.com/2015/01/recipe-cheesy-apples/
tl;dr:
- 2 cans sliced apples* (well drained)
- 8 oz. Velveeta cheese (grated/cubed)
- 3/4 c. all purpose flour
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1 stick butter – melted
Bake at 350 until browned/melted.
Well that does seem really easy…
before reading it i thought yogurt and grapes, that’s alright, cuz my mind wouldn’t have taken me to the alternative
But on white bread?? 🤮
I thought whipped cream, which would make it basically a tart
I got very close to ordering whipped cream, just so I could try this
Edit: next grocery run, though, it’s grapes and whipped cream.
Also acceptable with white bread
But chopped grape in chicken salad is fantastic.
I have a weird one I like too. If you’re willing to try random food crimes, eventually something works out. It’s not based on “this sounds good”, rather a curiosity, “what does this do together”.
Only try in small volumes!Last time, I tried sour gummy worms with Olivier (?) potato salad. That was not one of those. It wasn’t bad, their taste was just too weak to do anything, and the texture doesn’t fit.
But one that I do like is poppy seed roll with ketchup.
My grandmother used to eat pear -> bit of mayo -> cheddar cheese. (It didn’t taste too bad actually)
She was 93, so I doubt she was pregnant.
cheese and fruit is a classic combo tho
It’s hard to tell if it’s good because it tastes good or if its’ good because it reminds me of my grandmother
The combo my in-laws used to make was pear, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. I was skeptical at first, but it was really good.
One of my favorite pies to make is a cheddar pear pie. Partially because the flavors work so well together, partially to see the weird looks about the name go away the moment they go ahead and try it. You don’t even taste the cheese at all but it adds to it in a subtle way.
sour cream
Yeah, that does seem like it would be good. I’ll have to give that a shot, thanks :)
My mom makes a baked apple and Velveeta dessert that’s incredible.
She could’ve been omegaverse pregnant, you never know
She did like everything on her bagel
This looks like those Japanese grape sandwiches, that could be some type of sweet cream. If mayo then god help us all.
God don’t got to help me, I ain’t eating it.
Bread, nutella, cheese. I guess sweet complements salty savoury cheese?
When I was a kid, I made a jam and ham sandwich, I thought I’d created something entirely new 🤣
Bread, Peanut butter, butter, and mayo for me!
A.friend of mine recommended this when I mentioned peanut butter and banana. Its not bad, though the peanut butter gets more viscous so the whole thing is a bit more messy.
Slice sausage in half, pan fry until crispy on the outside, put in sandwich with grape jelly. The heat off the meat makes the jelly soak into the bread nicely. Recommend highly
Mayo+banana sandwiches are actually pretty dope, much to my chagrin.
When I was a kid, my dad would make us “banana surprise” for dessert sometimes. It’s quartered bananas with Miracle Whip and chopped walnuts on top. I didn’t like nuts, so I would take it without. Has to be Miracle Whip though. He also loves it on lime jello with shredded carrots.
Mayo often goes well with sweet things tbh. Mayo + chocolate powder on toast is tasty.
They might very well be, but my mind refuses to accept such a horrible combination. I will only try one under extreme duress.
On white bread, it’s extremely tasty. Had once once, would eat more in the future.
Some people just like nasty stuff and that’s their problem.
Just ask your mom.
I have tried a cream cheese and green grapes, and it was totally acceptable, especially considering how high I was.
I could eat cream cheese with a spoon. I could NOT eat mayo with a spoon.
Well, maybe one spoonful.
