Experimenting in the kitchen can be really fun. If you know a few flavor combination basics, concocting new dishes can be a fun way to spend your evening.
However, if your knowledge is minimal and all you bring to the table is the desire to experiment, you might end up making some questionable decisions. That doesn’t mean that your dish will not taste good, it might just be a little too much for some. Like the foods in the following list.
We don’t know how good they taste, but, quite frankly, we don’t want to know. The look of the dishes is really enough to make your mind up about eating them. After all, they were collected from the “Meals With Threatening Auras” Facebook page. Scroll down if you’re not afraid of ruining your appetite.

Experimentation doesn’t always go wrong, though. One has to admit that while some food combinations might seem a little off, they aren’t actually that bad when you try them.
For example, there are many ice cream toppings that people swear by. One is ice cream topped with olive oil. Many people swear by this flavor combination. Apparently, sweet, rich, and creamy ice cream goes amazingly well with fruity, earthy, and the green flavor of olive oil. And this goes with pretty much any ice cream flavor, too! Sprinkle some Maldon salt on top, and you’ll have a very refined dessert.

Last time my broccoli gave me the middle-finger, my sister had forgotten to wash it & a caterpillar was just chilling on the stalk! 🥦🖕🐛😂
Somehow that’s not the only odd ice cream pairing people love. Another one on the list is vanilla ice cream topped with soy sauce. Yes, it sounds very odd, but it does work. The sauce brings a saltiness and umami flavor to the ice cream, making it a very satisfying combo. Apparently, it also works with miso, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar.
If you wish to discover more interesting soy sauce combinations, there are some out there. For example, mixing a little bit of soy sauce into maple syrup before pouring it on your pancakes can, apparently, elevate the flavors. People also recommend trying to add a little bit of it to your coke or pour some on your cut-up mango. Yum?

I don't know about delicious, but it certainly is very artistically executed.
Peanut butter is another, apparently, super versatile thing that goes well with pretty much anything. A combination that dates back all the way to the depression era is peanut butter and pickles. The sandwich that combines the two ingredients between two slices of bread has been called "a thrifty and unacknowledged American classic,” so it’s actually a staple.

That’s not the only weird peanut butter sandwich Americans might ask you to try. Apparently, the southerners are fond of a peanut butter and mayo combo, too. You can eat it just like that or add bacon, lettuce, or cheese to it. And don’t forget to gulp it all down with another southern classic called “farmer’s coke”—coke with peanuts.

Load More Replies... While this combo might not pop into your mind when cooking, adding peanut butter to your instant ramen is another staple. It’s a play on the classic Japanese Tan Tan ramen in which you use sesame paste for the broth. The butter adds a pleasant nutty flavor and makes the dish extra creamy.

Chicken is my favorite protein and I'll take it most ways but no, thank you. The amount of time it would take to manipulate and "sew" it together while un-refrigerated and exposed to oxygen already makes it unedible. And why does it look like it's being displayed on a public sidewalk?

Another American classic that might make you instantly go “no, thank you!” is Kool-Aid pickles. You can either soak them in a prepared drink or just sprinkle the powder on top and enjoy it right away. Apparently, this flavor combination comes from Mississippi and tastes like fruity pickles. The food blogger Amy from House of Nash Eats described it as “a wild experience as your taste buds cycle through tasting dill pickle, then cherry Kool-Aid, then pickle again.” Delicious.

I am gonna need two of those. One more my son and one for me.
Another oddly sounding combination that actually compliment each other very well is avocado and chocolate. The reason why it works together is not because the flavors match so well, but because the textures go together. Chocolate flavor is so bold, it overpowers avocado while benefiting from its beautifully creamy texture. No wonder avocado is often used in chocolate mousses by vegans and those who wish to avoid eating raw eggs.
