Savory and sweet combinations are always the weirdest sounding, yet the best tasting. Savory sausage bits in a jelly and powdered sugar omelette, or a broiled ham sandwich with dijon and pineapple. They sound gross, they'll blow you away.

I like grilled cheese with specialty bread and quality cheese. I made a sandwich for my mom and she went on about how grilled cheese was very economical. I told her that one sandwich had about two bucks worth of cheese in it. She replied that if I can afford that I could make her another. Also, tuna fish and corn flakes. Refrigerator Pickled tomatoes, excellent.

It's not insanely weird, but it is actually a really good combination - salami and grapes. It is another one of those really good salty / sweet combos that just seems to work. I discovered it at a work function and have been using it as a snack for years now.

Peanut Butter, Miracle Whip (or Mayo), and American cheese slices. My buddies and I would eat about a loaf of bread, a jar of PB, and a jar of miracle whip during 2-a-days in football. It helped keep weight on, and it's oddly delicious. We also ate a ton of Dorito and Mayo sandwiches (really delicious).

No, there's no mayo in Miracle Whip.  If there were, it might taste good.  Instead it is an eldritch abomination that happens to superficially resemble mayo and tastes like something scooped off the bottom of a dumpster.

I used to think I hated mayo.  That was when I was little and thought that Miracle Whip was mayo.  Sometime in high school I realized my error.

- peanut butter sandwich with extra butter
- putting mayo on a sandwich and the heating up so the mayo is warm

When I was a kid I copied my older brother when he made this sandwich and still occasionally eat it. Bologna with a crappy Kraft single cheese slice and ketchup. Sometimes with Lays chips layered in. I always thought it was normal but everyone thinks it's disgusting. My wife hates it when I even talk about making it lol.

I have a good poontang story. My brother and father got on an elevator in a parking structure along with a very large man who looked like Apollo Creed and his attractive girlfriend. After the doors closed, my father looked over at the man's girlfriend and said, "Now that's some poontang." This after drinking an entire bottle of wine by himself at dinner. My brother told me the story, saying, "So there I was, with dad - a 5'5" Jew with weak ankles -  and a very large black man with his poontang girlfriend, waiting for my life to end." Fortunately, no punches were thrown, and a good family story came out of it.

est sense. Definitetly two separae entities, one eaten on accassion and the other your movie grade popcorn. I was about 32. Me and the girl I was dating ented the cinema, of  which there weer roughly i to 12 seprarate theaters. Asking her what whe wanted to snack on - knowing one would be popcorn, possibly only popcorn but her go to movide snaks. \

Already possessing half a chub, I sat near the wall and after I sat down, immedieately ripped a hole in the bottom of the circular corn holder, where I placed my jimmy. I assisted her though unlike cracker jacks, she would find her prize quicker. Sjhe simply aid, Oh in a rather surprised voice and then wnt about her job. Have no idea what the name of the movie was.

Mix 1/2 a shot of Jameson and 1/2 a shot of butterscotch schnapps in one shot glass. 

Have a another shot glass full of OJ

Have a stick of bacon ready

Now shoot the Jameson/butterscotch, followed by the OJ. Then eat the bacon!

It's delicious and fun! (Also seems to be less frowned upon for early day drinking lol)
