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.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, for old people whose olfactory senses have gone

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

It shouldn't be, though.

Pear salad in the south. It's one of those things I swear started as a joke

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tell me u are from the US without telling me that you are from the US lol

[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

More specifically Midwest is my guess

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

It would be more acceptable but I'm actually Canadian with a mother who has no regard for human taste buds

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought whipped cream, which would make it basically a tart

[–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

God don't got to help me, I ain't eating it.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 22 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

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.

[–] WiredBrain@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Basically a thai sweet chili sauce!

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.

[–] mlc894@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That recipe is quite popular in the Midwest!

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.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (6 children)

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.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

cheese and fruit is a classic combo tho

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's hard to tell if it's good because it tastes good or if its' good because it reminds me of my grandmother

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She could've been omegaverse pregnant, you never know

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

She did like everything on her bagel

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My mom makes a baked apple and Velveeta dessert that's incredible.

But chopped grape in chicken salad is fantastic.

[–] httperror418@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

When I was a kid, I made a jam and ham sandwich, I thought I'd created something entirely new 🤣

[–] newbeni@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bread, Peanut butter, butter, and mayo for me!

[–] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Mayo often goes well with sweet things tbh. Mayo + chocolate powder on toast is tasty.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

They might very well be, but my mind refuses to accept such a horrible combination. I will only try one under extreme duress.

Some people just like nasty stuff and that’s their problem.

Bread, nutella, cheese. I guess sweet complements salty savoury cheese?

[–] Bo7a@piefed.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My father used to make mayonnaise and oreo sandwiches (but just the cookie, not the cream filling).

Maybe he was pregnant the whole time!
