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
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)
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.
It shouldn't be, though.
Pear salad in the south. It's one of those things I swear started as a joke
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.
covid makes you lose your appetite, this seems like cravings.
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.
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.
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.
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 actually sounds reasonable though.
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.
For my wife it was a hot dog and ~~M&Ms~~ jellybeans for breakfast. It was after that, we found out she was preggish.
Edit: My wife corrected me.
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
She could've been omegaverse pregnant, you never know
She did like everything on her bagel
My mom makes a baked apple and Velveeta dessert that's incredible.
But chopped grape in chicken salad is fantastic.
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.
Mayo+banana sandwiches are actually pretty dope, much to my chagrin.
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.
Bread, nutella, cheese. I guess sweet complements salty savoury cheese?
My father used to make mayonnaise and oreo sandwiches (but just the cookie, not the cream filling).
Maybe he was pregnant the whole time!
