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.

Yup, I Just Did That. Chips And Nutella! Don't Knock It Till You Try It
I love chocolate covered potato chips from the chocolate shops. This just adds hazelnuts.
I've done this, it's actually rather nice. The crisps absolutely must be salted only though.
Okay, if it was traditional chips (like just salt) it would taste good. They make chocolate covered chips, so I feel like it would taste good
This is actually really good... like french fries and a chocolate shake....mmmm
I prefer chips and sour cream it kinda reminds me of pierogis I just dip potato chips in sour cream and I like it it's super tasty!
I used to often eat this as a snack. that sweet and salty combo is divine. Now I'm onto trying to eat a lot healthier so it's not as often a snack anymore xD
Nutella is nature's way of telling you it's OK to eat icing for breakfast... if you put it on muffins, you get breakfast cupcakes! šššššš

When I was a kid my friendsā parents would go to a club across the road (this was a workingmenās club not a night club!). Their dad would check up on us at about 9pm on the pretext of bringing us chocolate and crisps. Weād put a square of chocolate between two crisps and crunch; fantastic!
That sounds good, actually, I do have nutella at home. Now, did my sister eat all the chips again?
There are commercial chips in chocolate. Adding nut butter is hardly unusual. Down vote.
I'm not surprised at this. I remember when lays released chocolate covered chips.
My sister in law always brought back chocolate covered ruffles from Japan Everytime she went back home as a flight attendant for my son. They are AMAZING
This actually doesnāt sound that bad,I mean a lot of chocolates have sea salt on them
Trader Joe's used to sell chocolate-covered potato chips. I tried them on a fluke and they were the truth!
In the UK your "chips" are "crisps" and they get dunked in all manner of liquid foodstuffs. From sour cream to tomato sauce to marmite. Anything that takes your fancy really. Versatile indeed.
Gotta knock it cause I have tried this before and it isn't great. Maybe with a different type of chip but the one I had, nope.

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
McDonald's fries with the sweet and sour McNugget sauce is delicious.
Chocolate-Covered Bacon
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.

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.

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

This thread should not be named "Weird food combinations" but "People discovering other's people traditional dishes and some end-of-the-month meals"
Sad thing is the more rubbish people eat (preservatives etc) the less they like real food and the more perverse their taste becomes. And even sadder is that all these things are not innocent funny combinations, but, highway to heart attacks and diabetes. Most of those foods are very unhealthy by themselves but then let's triple them - bc why not...
I believe that a lot of these are just " influencers" trying to get their 15 seconds of fame. I'd believe more of these if the poster showed them actually eating these monstrosities
cheddar cheese and fruit cake, it's a Yorkshire thing! peanut butter and honey on toast with a banana yum!
I had this in college by mistake at first. Some how at the college donuts and coffee place, the staff made me an everything bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Everything bagels include things like onion and garlic bits on them. Well needless to say, the flavour grew on me and I ordered it when ever I had a "crazy craving" š
Is it normal that i now find myself craving for some of these weird food combos??
Most breads (pasta, ice cream cones, pizza crust) can work just as well as either sweet or savory. Also, many of the sugar/fast food combinations make perfect sense in America, it just makes the already sweet fast food sweeter.
I dip chicken tenders/nuggets in vinegar like friesā¦ is that weird?
no. my grandfather was English and sprinkled red vinegar on pizza. quite good. vinegar on fries is from English fish and chips.

Some of the combinations do sound good on the whole sweet and salty remix. I want to share some of mine too: sour cream and mashed potatoes ā¢ pork rinds or potato chips and peanut butter ā¢ apples with salt on it ā¢ Nutella and any cheese crackers (Better Cheddars are best) ā¢ scrambled eggs with strawberry jam or maple syrup ā¢ salt and vinegar chips with ketchup on it ā¢ malt vinegar and fries ā¢ a pinch of salt to coffee (makes it less bitter)
If you mix maple syrup with ketchup you get an unholy abomination that can go on anything. Seriously you should try it
I hate when delicious stuff is used as decoration only ... like, when on a family celebration, my Dad's cousin's husband told me not to take the bell pepper from the side of the buffet, which is filled with olives, and not to pour the olives onto my plate, as these are standing there just to look nice. There weren't any other olives. Olives are delicious, I was there to eat, buffet means take whatever you like, as much as you like, ... so I ended up sharing the olives with my Sister and my Dad, and decided that, although he's a teacher for gastro apprentices, I won't listen to that stubborn guy and eat any decoratively placed edibles that appear to be tasty. Like olives - almost always, when they're involved, they are the best tasting part of it. Many of those here are just ... disgusting. Others are totally fine, just not in fashion. Both is up to the one eating the stuff, so ... weird or not ... there are truly relevant things about food. This is none thereof.
I feel like most of these are pregnant people. Also no pictures of the OP were posted so we don't know if they are actually fat...
