I have a philosophical question for you: if someone enjoys a meal that everyone else finds horrid, do they prove that taste is subjective? Or do they achieve the opposite and show that it exists within certain boundaries? Whatever your initial answer is, hold on to it until you finish scrolling through this list. Believe me, it might change.
To show you that some stomachs have no limits, we at Bored Panda put together a collection of the weirdest food combinations we could find. We're talking bacon-wrapped Oreos, hard-boiled eggs with Nutella, and... I can't go on, sorry, I just had breakfast. You'll have to scroll down and check out everything for yourself. If you have the guts, of course. Just don't tell Gordon Ramsay about these photos — he'd probably stab these "chefs" with a fork.

If you don't want your dishes to end up in a similar list, there are some easy tips that can improve your cooking skills straight away.
According to Fine Cooking, the first thing you can do is rethink the way you use your chef's knife, "for better control, choke up on the handle to the point of putting your thumb and the side of your index finger onto the side of the blade right above the handle. Speaking of chef’s knives, invest in a good one (and keep it sharp). The longer, wider blade of a chef’s knife will give you speed, control, and confidence," the magazine wrote.
Next, start your dishes with the best ingredients you can get. For example, imported Parmigiano-Reggiano is way better than domestic parmesan. In fact, you can hardly compare the two. Or if you're baking a cake, premium chocolate makes all the difference and fresh homemade breadcrumbs are superior to packaged crumbs by miles. You get the idea.

Best Combo Ever - Fries And Honey

Now that you've got the good stuff, use your hands. "Hands are extremely sensitive and sophisticated cooking tools," the experts said. "You can develop this sense of touch by paying attention to how different foods feel at different degrees of doneness, even as you’re checking them with a thermometer, a toothpick, or a knife. Meat, for example, goes from being very soft when it’s rare to quite firm when well done. Touch can also indicate when a cake is baked, if the dough is kneaded enough, and whether a pear is ripe."
A great way to instantly elevate your dishes to another level is by switching to kosher or sea salt. Kosher salt and sea salt have a much, much better flavor than ordinary table salt. Though food shouldn’t taste salty, falling on the other side of the spectrum and using little or no salt makes food boring.

Honey On Cheese Pizza. Mind Blown
Apparently Salt And Pepper On Apples Is Something People Do. It's So Delicious
Also, pick recipes that use descriptive words. Like, "bake until golden brown" or "boil until reduced by half." Don’t freak out if the actual amount of time it takes to reach the desired state is more or less than the time suggested in the recipe.
Cooking is a never-ending journey, full of ups and downs. Focus on the journey, not the setbacks. Take everything as a learning experience, apply yourself, and always. taste. throughout. the. process.

Soā¦ I came home this evening and my roommate gave me some leftovers. I saw a container of what I thought was cooked tomatoes since it was red and had the same texture of a tomato. I decided to mix it with my scrambled eggs in the pan for dinner. By the time I smelled the sweet aroma, I realized it wasnāt tomatoes, it was peaches! So Iāve ended with with a dessert scrambled egg with peaches. I didnāt want to waste it so I ate it. Not as gross as I thought it would taste.

Watermelon Sushi? Yep, This Is One Of Those Just So Weird It Works Food Combinations
Last summer I was at a restaurant in Brooklyn and they had a dish with watermelon and seaweed on the menu. It sounded bizarre but I figured I HAD to try it.ā ā I was very pleasantly surprised. ā
It makes for a great combination of salty and sweet flavors.ā ā And if you want some compelling health benefits - Vitamin C (which watermelon is packed with) helps us better absorb iron (which seaweed is rich in)!ā ā
Eating lots of watermelon in the summer is a GREAT way to improve hydration. And finding creative ways to add it to your diet keeps it interesting. ā So next time you're at the store pick up some watermelon and some seaweed, top them with a crack of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon and enjoy this weirdly satisfying snack. ā

wtf is wrong with humans, my tastebuds were screaming in horror as I was reading this
A few sounded reasonable. Others, however, sounded extraordinarily putrid. This is good, and explains the vast variety of foods in the markets and around the world. Just remember, no matter how amazing the food in your country is, Gordon Ramsey makes it better. Cackle.
While I personally find half of them disgusting, you do you :) Youāre not harming anybody, so feel free to enjoy whatever you like.
I agree. I wouldn't eat most of these, but it's not hurting me.
