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.

Just A Cup Of Rice, Not All The Packaging
Juri Nevalainen:
That's enough rice for like two weeks or so.
You may not have heard of the pickle juice-whiskey combo, but it’s another weird pairing that has become popular among those with unique tastes. And according to sensory scientist and Rutgers University nutrition professor Paul Breslin, it actually makes sense.
"Salt is a very good suppressor of bitter tastes," he told Bon Appétit.

Ah Yes The Mcdoggle
April Pickett 3 months ago
That looks pretty good. It needs mustard, cheese, lots of pickles, and onion. Oh, add tomato and lettuce. Please, no ketchup, no mayo.
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.

The ketchup will wash off. The cookies & cream chocolate bar? Maybe it tasyes better with ketchup.

This Is Literally What You Feed Raccoons
Daniel Dunn:
That's not a bad idea.
April Pickett 3 months ago
Raccoons are very open to new idea ideas gastronomically. I'm sure this would work for them.
One of the seemingly strange yet curiosity-inducing dishes that Lahousse and his team came up with is sweet potato ice cream with orange and lemongrass flan. Let that sink in for a second. And if you’re bold enough to give it a try, here is the full recipe and procedure.

Annik Perrot 3 months ago (edited)
And that's how we spell "Putin" in French (otherwise it would sound like "putain", which means "whôre" and is also à swear word). So, poutine sounds like something disgusting, but I tasted it in Québec and it's fine. Very filling, but tasty.
