Just get on TikTok. Those goofy kids constantly make weird food combos. Sometimes they’re actually good!
I tried a new food combo as a kid. I liked Nutella, and I liked tangerine slices in syrup. So I combined them.
Mom made me eat it.
It didn’t taste like a chocolate orange?
Not really. It was horrible.
I think you could do nutella and some orange zest in a sandwich
That would actually be fine if I was still eating Nutella. But believe me, the tangerine slices and the syrup from the tin with Nutella - lets say it was not nice.
The way you said Mom made me eat it – I felt that 🥲😭😂
If you wanna go back to tuna mayo and olives gelatin aspics from the 60’s go right ahead.
And I bet that was not the worst ‘food’ of this era.
LoL probably not
i don’t know who hurt that person, but I feel like food innovation is at an all-time high. Constantly I see new stuff being experimented on and new combinations of food items. plant-based/vegan popularity has really elevated those food innovations as well, with ever more plants being used to make new foods. Just yesterday I made myself a vegan omelet with vegan cheese. And it was amazing.
I tried vegan cheese at a food show recently. It tasted more like cheese than cheese does!
I try to incorporate a couple of plant-based meals every week and it’s getting easier to make something good every time.
You don’t happen to know which one it was, do you? We vegans are always on the hunt. Although tbh, I don’t miss the “sour, milky” taste. I find it very weird…
Definitely. Everyone wants to make the next viral food thing on TikTok. A lot of it might be dumb, but by the time it filters out of TikTok and onto other platforms, it’s usually the best stuff.
We make new kinds of sandwiches all the time…
Me too. The latest sensation: Avocado and canned peas.
Time to introduce this person to china’s wet markets…
I think we’ve all had our fair share of those.
Depends on the culture and time if you ask me.
Just this year, Oreos made a Sour Patch Kids Oreo. It was terrible, but don’t pretend like there aren’t people out in the world committing food crimes. Taco Bell is committed to lowering the bar on what humans are willing to eat, don’t disservice their hustle.
What’s wrong with the Legally Allowed Amounts of Silica Crunchwrap Supreme?
Look, they were brave enough to find out how big you could make a cheez-it, and then shoved that inside a Crunchwrap. I’m not brave enough to make disparaging comments about an entity so powerful.
I’m glad I tried the cheezit crunchwrap to have tried it, but man it sucked.
A lot if what we as a society have settled on is also because of economy at scale logic. There are many things that are delicious but won’t keep well outside of a small window in specific conditions. Or have less yeild than common alternatives. And sadly many clients simply don’t want to try new things.
I suggest for anyone that can, try your hand at fermentation, especially if you have room for a garden. There is so much you can do from making your own koji to lacto-fermenting Nasturtium berries. There are many new flavours for you to discover and share with friends.
Another idea is to learn more about local foraging and seeking out local Mycological societies to learn about mushrooms in your area.
Watch Ordinary Sausage on YouTube. He is a pioneer in developing new and exciting foodstuffs.
try bbq’d cheese-stuffed peppers wrapped in bacon.
peanut butter, hot sauce, fried egg, cheese, and mayonnaise sandwich
Hit in Thailand
Yeah, this just isn’t the case, there’s a metric fuckload of experimenting going on, most people just aren’t willing to try any of it.
Today, I brought my own food to work: rice with red lentils, peas, unsweetened peanut butter and some black caraway seeds (+ normal caraway, vegetable broth, a little vinegar)
And yeah, as I’m telling people this, I realize that they probably want to hear a recipe name, like “risotto” or “rice curry”, but I have no idea what it is. I started cooking with rice and red lentils, kind of like a curry, but then the rest just happened spontaneously.
It always feels like I’ve discovered this great secret that you can just combine edible things and it generally leads to something edible.
I can only speak for myself, but I do not want you to name whatever that is
You mean, you decided to prove the point of the parent comment… 🙃
It probably is hard to imagine from a list of ingredients, for example the vegetable broth was for boiling the rice+lentils, it wasn’t soggy rice, and I only added the vinegar, because I accidentally made it too salty, so you weren’t supposed to taste it much.
But yeah, aside from that, the taste wasn’t too extravagant. Maybe replace the black caraway, if you’re not me, but then it actually tasted quite a lot like egg after leaving it in the fridge over night.
Seriously. Not even experimenting, but just looking at other cultures’ cuisines as a start. In the states we barely even pickle things that aren’t cucumbers. The seafood situation in the middle of the country is nothing compared to the coasts, and what’s acceptable on the coasts is a fraction of what gets eaten in Iceland or Japan.
People generally don’t want to expand their palates. Anyone who wants to try new things can look to countless dishes around the world they’ve never even heard of.
Anything is a sandwich if your poor enough.
My wife’s been really into foraging lately and I’ve learned you can eat so many random weeds found all over the place.
