Food Combinations - Good or Bad?
Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 4:18PM A friend of mine suggested a topic for an entry and I definitely agree that it's a good topic of having different food combinations and if they are good or bad.
He reminded me of the back in the day sandwich, this was good anytime and anyday! We could eat this after our day full of activities as a kid, and even as "adults' we can still have these. It's quite cheap too, really cheap! I know that a lot of people reading this blog know what I'm talking about ... it's crunchy (depending on if the bread is toasted), it's sweet and it has a buttery taste. You got it! Butter and sugar sandwich! These were one of the best things EVER! I prefer to have them toasted and with the edges cut off, omg these were so good. I haven't had them in a while, but I think I'm going to be making some soon! They are also Lent friendly MmMmMmmmm ... I wonder if we can use Splenda and if would taste the same?
Another weird combo that people might find is seen in this one particular movie. This overgrown man who wears this suit and is just happy as can be! It was his first time in NYC and he was just having a great time and doing everything and anything, sharing his special recipes with his loved ones ... one of them being Spaghetti and Maple Syrup! Yes it sounds horrible, but it is good! At first I tried this treat with Gerard on regular spaghetti noodles and then maple syrup on top which was good in itself, but during the youth fellowship I tried to have it, as you're supposed to have it with the spaghetti, the spaghetti sauce and then the maple syrups. Oh man, it's some good stuff but it has to be maple syrup and it can't be the cheap syrup.
This next one I found accidently when I'd go with my parents to McDonalds in Queens Center back in the day. We'd be sitting there having the breakfast and once I found out this mixture there was no turning back! Having the hot cakes sitting there with the sausage next to it, I'd pour the hot cake syrup on the hot cakes and then it would trickle onto the sausage without me knowing ... until I take a piece of the sausage and it has that sweet taste to it! Oh my was that good! Now everytime I have sausage, I put maple syrup on it ... and you can do this with bacon too! So that's another one for you sausage and syrup or bacon and syrup.
This made a great afternoon snack that I thought everyone knew about until someone saw me doing it but then they had that "wth" look on their face. It's another quick and easy merienda that you can have, you probably have the food in your house too! Scrammbled eggs with kethup and toast mMMmMmm I want some now!
My mom taught me this and it seems everytime I bring it up people have this weird look on their face. The norm from what I can tell is grape fruit with sugar ... but my mom showed me the grape fruit and salt way and I've liked it ever since!
Oh man my list is running out but I'll add this to it! Mango with soy sauce or bagaoong! See that's how you get me to eat fruit, you gotta do something like this with the mango or like with the grape fruit. Now my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Oh damn ...... I was opening my mouth and now my lips just cracked - dammit! Now it hurts when I open my mouth and I won't be able to eat that salty food until it's not cracked anymore. Dammit!
I have more on my list but am forgetting right now because I'm upset that I cracked my lips and now I won't be able to eat anything on this entry without being in some sort of pain!

One thing that I did forget to add on here was something that my mom had introduced me to. I didn't want to try it when I first heard it ... but when I actually gave it a shot, it was good shiz!
Have you ever made pancakes only to find out you don't have any syrup!? That's one of the worst things ever ... really it is. But there's a remedy for that problem! It's quick and easy, and you probably have it laying around your house! Simple milk and sugar ... that's right folks! All you need to do is drizzle the desired amount of sugar on your pancakes, it's up to you as to how sweet you like them, then put some milk on top! It's that simple and it's so good!
Sorry about that, I got into my little infommercial moment there. The pancakes get a little soggy, but it's really good stuff - try it!
As for some of the suggestions and the things that you have tried and are still trying ... liver spread with mayo and then dipped in Coke!? I think you beat me with the strangest combinations of food! OMG ... I can't even think of how that tastes! Well maybe it actually tastes good now that I think of it, the only thing I would need to overcome is eating "liver."
Never had the powdered sugar and then drinking soda afterwards ... it's not like that myth where you eat poprocks and then a coke you'll explode is it!?
One thing I did ... again accidently was having smoked salmon which was really good, I didn't think I'd like that but I did! The mistake was when I was offered red wine or white wine, the only wine I know is the red wine from church so that's what I chose. It actually brings out the fish taste like there's no tomorrow, as if you have just licked a fish straight out of the ocean, but if you don't believe me, you have to try it!

This morning being a Friday in Lent made me think about what I could have for breakfast and it was like a light coming down the from heaven that made me think about the butter and sugar sandwich!
Off to the deli I went after getting into work to get two slices of white bread toasted with butter on it. I got a few Domino sugar packets and back to the office. It's been a while so I forgot the portions of the sugar that needed to go onto the bread. I tried a little at first then adjusted the sugar until I got the right taste.
It's just like Old School, once it touches your lips ... it's just so good! The only thing is that I only had two slices!!! I wish I had gotten more ... I remember that I could eat 6 slices of this stuff when I was younger (and that's when I was skinny!), just imagine what I am capable of now ... perhaps an entire loaf of butter and sugar bread.
Forget the garlic bread, we be makin' butter and sugar loaves from now on!

niceee! i think i've tried all those combos except for the spaghetti & maple syrup... that sounds a lil bit too O_o? for me.
Those aren't too bad. Sausage with syrup is a normal thing when having with pancakes and I see a lot of people at work put ketchup on their eggs all the time. Spaghetti with maple syrup sounds gross though...hahahah...that is definitely different. Listen to the morning zoo tomorrow...I think they're planning to make Greg T try some different combos...I think they're calling it Freaky Food Friday...John Bell said he liked sardines and peanut butter...lol. When I was younger, I myself liked to make liver spread with mayonaise on a slice of bread, but thats not the bad part. I liked to take that sandwich and dip it into a glass of Coke....MMmmmm! I'm lying...I still like to do it today!
Ever had the bad combo accidentally? Like when you eat something with powdered sugar or something with syrup and then you drink soda (doesn't matter what kind) right after. It must be one of the worst tastes ever. If you don't know what I mean, try eating like the powdered filipino desserts [espasol, cuncinta or even cavassa the sticky kind] or a powdered donut. Drink soda when your mouth has enough of the powder taste. Let me know what you think.
they sell maple syrup sausages in the grocery! I personally like wendy's fries dipped in the chocolate frosty...
OMG Ros!!! I can't believe I forgot about that ... MmMmmMMmmm!
