Augie Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 When I was a kid I was at a friends and his mom asked what I wanted for lunch. I requested a mayonnaise and jelly sandwich. She called my mom who gave her the OK, and it became “a thing” for a year or so. I probably wanted a PB&J, but acquired a taste for it. It sounds disgusting, but I can still remember the taste and it wasn’t too awful.......for a little kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 As a kid, I ate bologna and jelly sandwiches. I don't remember how I started, but I probably continued because I liked the "Eeeeeewwww" reaction it got from my family and friends. These days, I guess my weirdest combo is a PB&J with tortilla chips inside. The chips give a salty complement to the jam's sweetness, and they add some texture. (You can also use the chip crumbs at the bottom of the bag.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT may happen tomorrow, despite missing the season. That sounds interesting, and good. Kosher salt sure, but I’d never have thought of the balsamic! Hmmmmm I did sous vide carrots (just butter and a bit of brown sugar) tonight with a super course kosher finishing salt to finish, and that salt made a huge difference. I’ll do that again when the wave of family arrives next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I was watching a show on the Food Channel a few years ago, and a guy was pairing up different kinds of cheeses, jellies, and breads on grilled cheese sandwiches. At first I thought it was weird, but then I started to think that cheese and fruit is a good combo, so why not extend the concept to grilled cheese sandwiches? I tried it once, with cheddar and strawberry on whole wheat. It was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, really high quality vanilla ice cream flavored with a vanilla bean and not chemicals and drizzled over with some high end balsamic vinegar (like at least 15 years aged) is one of the best flavor combos on the planet. Really good, aged balsamico does not taste like "vinegar". Takes on an entirely different, complex flavor palate that is delicious. Picked up this trick in Modena in 2002 and have never looked back!

I would also replace the feta with crumbled goat cheese or crumbled Maytag blue...each would be quite good but different. I am going to try this this upcoming weekend! Thanks for that one! This video shows how to grill watermelon and then he actually threw on some feta and balsamico at the end!
