Not everyone would find it appetizing to eat fries and ice cream at the same time. Yet, it’s one of the many unorthodox food pairings that a good chunk of people would be on board with, especially those who enjoy the sweet-salty flavor combo. 

However, the same can’t be said for the following photos, which we collected from the Unusual Foods Facebook page. This online community gathers the heinous culinary crimes people committed, resulting in dishes that look unappealing, to say the least.

    There’s a method behind the madness when it comes to unusual food combinations. But ultimately, it’s all about finding the middle ground, according to Stephen Chavez, senior instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education in Los Angeles. 

    “Things taste better when there’s balance, and certain tastes tend to complement each other,” said Chavez, whose guilty pleasure includes shellfish and vanilla.

    Cultural influences may also play a role, according to Chef Stephen. As he pointed out, Southeast Asian cuisine, for one, offers a unique combination of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty flavors. 

    Filipino cuisine is an excellent example, wherein certain dishes combine the savory and umami-rich soy sauce with the tangy and tarty flavors of calamansi, a tropical citrus fruit similar to a lime that is native to the country.

    Some people take an analytical approach to food, like gastronomic scientist and Foodparing AI co-founder Bernard Lahousse. In a 2017 interview, he explained his methods that utilize the combination of taste and smell. 

    “It is estimated that 20% of a tasting experience comes from taste, whereas 80% comes from the smell or the aroma,” Lahousse explained.
