In the world of food, it seems there are always unexpected food combinations that challenge our taste buds and redefine what we think works together. From sweet and savory to bold and unconventional, these combos have a way of sparking curiosity and excitement. Recently, we decided to dive into this trend by sharing some of our favorite quirky food combinations, then we took it a step further by trying one unique combination we have never tasted before. Here are our opinions!

Our Favs!
Pineapple on Pizza (Fasia)
Pineapple on Pizza (Fasia)
I absolutely love pineapple on pizza–just the pineapple, no ham or other toppings like the typical Hawaiian slice. The sweet, juicy bursts from the pineapple against the savory cheese and tangy sauce are all I need to live and breathe. It may be simple, but the contrast in flavors
is so satisfying!
Fries and Milkshake (Ayah)
When it comes to the perfect salty-sweet combination, nothing beats dipping hot, crispy fries into a thick, creamy milkshake. It’s one of my all-time favorite food pairings, and I’ll never leave a place that serves it without indulging. There’s something about the contrast between the salty crunch of the fries and the smooth sweetness of the shake that just works, it’s pure bliss. Honestly, if you don’t love this combo, I’m convinced your taste buds might be fried!
Slice of toast with cheese and jam (Sofia)
Slice of toast with cheese and jam (Sofia)
When it comes to a perfect breakfast food, this combination is a solid 8/10. A combination of salty and sweet that was the perfect way to start off the morning. The tartness of the jam combined with the savory flavor of the cheese would make you think this was a match made in Heaven. It absolutely is! Initially I thought that the jam would be too overpowering for the cheese, but it turned out to have the perfect tang.

Peanut Butter and Jalapeños Sandwich (Fasia)
I don’t know what I was thinking. I read many positive reviews about this food combination so I was excited to try it. I thought maybe I would taste a bold and spicy-sweet flavor explosion, but instead I got a weird, spicy, peanut-buttery mess. This was neither sweet nor savory, just…regret. The peanut butter coated my mouth and the jalapeños came in with all the heat of a bad decision. I will never ever try this again. Ever.
Vanilla Ice Cream with Olive Oil and Sea Salt (Ayah)
Vanilla Ice Cream with Olive Oil and Sea Salt (Ayah)
I recently tried the trending combination of ice cream with extra virgin olive oil and flaky sea salt. I held really high hopes for it, but sadly I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected. The thick olive oil added a weird unique, almost grassy flavor that didn’t quite blend with the cold sweetness of the ice cream for me. However, the salty kick from the flaky sea salt was surprisingly tasty and complemented the ice cream well. Personally, I would not try this again.
Ice cream with soy sauce drizzled on top (Sofia)
One of the weird food combinations that struck me the
most while I did some googling was soy sauce and ice
cream. Truth be told, it was vile. The salty soy sauce
was too overpowering when mixed with the milky
flavor of the ice cream. If you like this peculiar flavor combination I am truly concerned for your taste buds!
