Syrup and bacon? Yeah, I reckon that works. When I was a kid I used to put marmelade and bacon on my toast.

Malt loaf spread with Marmite.
My standard hill-walking rucksack lunch is a malt loaf, backed up with a flask of soup in winter. While walking in Scotland one year it became apparent that I was the one in our party who was being singled out for the attention of the Scottish Biting Midge - Culicoides impunctatus. Reading that vitamin B seemed to repel these wee beasties I spread my malt loaf with Marmite to give me a vitamin B refresher through the day. The effect on the midges was never conclusively proved, but I've spread Marmite on my malt loaf ever since.

Baked beans seem to me an underused resource in the context of food creativity. I once made what I claimed to be "Mexican" by mixing baked beans, Worcester Sauce, harissa, minced beef and random vegetables inside a tortilla wrap.

This sounds like amazing hill-walking, energy food but so gross. Not sure if I'd dare risk a first time up a mountain. Maybe best for first tasting as a drunk food!

I know quite a few who put baked beans into their shepherd's pie (or is it shepherds' pie - I always think it should be the latter, but normally see the former). My addition to that dish to make extra special is a bit of black pudding, which also works well as accompaniment to roast chicken.

A number of these combinations seem to be fat plus sugar, which a TV programme recently identified as a) not being found in nature, and b) incapable of triggering the sated response. Thus while we would stop eating a purely fatty substance fairly soon, and the same with a purely sweet stuff, together we would go on, and on, and on.... the examples were icecream and cheesecake, but bacon and maple syrup would seem to fit as well.

No, bacon has protein and you tend to get sated by that.
Gammon with orange/marmalade or apricot or various other sweet glazes comes to mind too, which would be why bacon and marmalade possibly works.

I would have thought that depended on the rasher...and how they were cooked.
And I'm wondering why the three foods I don't get sated by are lemon meringue pie, queen of puddings, and fish pie (the sort topped by potato). The first two have eggs and sugars, but not the last. And I'm not the only one for that. I may have mentioned ordinands at Canterbury going up for third helpings on Good Friday.

Well, of course! In what else? But you haven't lived until you've made toast by frying bread in the bacon grease.
Speaking of omelets: corn. A hotel I stayed at in Puerto Rico served omelets one morning made with pepper, onion, cheese and corn. My favorite way now! (Cooked in bacon grease, naturally.)

I love cream cheese and smoked salmon on those slightly sweet digestive crackers that come in mixed cracker boxes.
My best friend growing up used to like peanut butter on pancakes, which always struck my family as a little vile, although I suspect it was actually quite tasty. We recently ran out of maple syrup, which caused me to finally have to try blackstrap molasses on pancakes. I thought it was rather tasty.
(Interesting food fact: the "natural flavor" that they put in Aunt Jemima style imitation maple syrup to make it taste vaguely like the real stuff? Fenugreek.)

For some reason I have yet to find anyone else who will eat mashed avocado on toast spread with Marmite. I do not find this weird, but others see to.
Marmalade and Bacon is one of my elders favourites, debate has been held on whether this should be on:

- Scottish Pancakes

I learned this from a brewing book, which suggested adding fenugreek to maple porters or browns, since real maple syrup is completely fermentable and will leave little of the maple flavor that you paid through the nose for in the actual beer. I just googled it to make sure that I wasn't spreading bad information, and discovered that fenugreek is also given to nursing mothers to increase milk production, with the side effect that the mother's sweat takes on a maple syrup odor.

I like avocado with Marmite - there's a particularly nice sandwich recipe somewhere with goat's cheese, Marmite, avocado and lambs lettuce (possibly, might have been another leafy leaf) - goat's cheese on one piece of bread, Marmite on the other, everything else sandwiched between. (I suspect they recommended butter, but I don't butter bread)

If you've got an overhead grill and don't mind heart attacks, the best way to make bacon butties is by putting the bacon on the grill itself and the bread on the pan underneath it, so that all the bacon fat drips down onto the bread.

I hadn't thought of this until the waffles and syrop. My mother, wretched cook she was, used to take leftover Sunday waffles and make sandwiches out of them. If you remember 'sandwich spread' in a jar, sort of pink mayonnaise concoction with some floaty bits (pickles?). It seems to me we also had ketchup sometimes.

My father used to tell us about all sorts of things his rather poor family ate during the Great Depression. The best one was of my grandfather who had to do the shopping one day and was so pleased that he found cheap cookies for the kids. When my grandmother returned she demanded to know why they were eating dog biscuits!
Dad said they were a bit hard but OK when you dipped them in milk. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Or did it identify sugar and fat in combination? Which I might be willing to believe.

Generally when one reading of a sentence would render the claim patently absurd and the other reading renders the claim plausible, I'd suggest assuming that the latter is probably the intended meaning.

Human breast milk is very much sugar and fat in combination (much sweeter than cow's milk), and probably explains human attraction to the combination.
Personally, salt and fat in combination is my downfall ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

It was the combination - and presumably sucrose or fructose, rather than lactose, as seen above. Once I'd given up sugar in my tea, I was surprised to find how sweet it remained.
They specified a 50% of each combination - and I have seen this written up somewhere before, probably New Scientist, though possibly the Guardian, especially since I recall it was tied to the suggestion that producers of processed foods were well aware of the attractiveness of the combination. As tobacco manufacturers were aware of the effects of nicotine. Though both publications can be political.

My favourite Chinese restaurant sells a dish called 'Strange Flavour Chicken', which is a mixture of cold chicken, diced cucumber and runny crunchy peanut butter. With chilli shreds. It is very strange, and is more quite nice than delicious. Maybe it is the texture as much as the flavour itself -- the cold runniness is really quite disconcerting.

That would be my suggestion. It works beautifully, as a tangy, sweet-sour sauce for an oily fish - definitely recommend it.

Not sure about that if the pudding is cooked in dripping.
Oh, how I want some proper dripping from beef, with the jelly underneath, spread on wholemeal bread. I get some beef and roast it and there IS NO DRIPPING.

Yorkshire puddings are about the same thing as popovers, the difference being when you eat them (breakfast or supper), whether you used butter or grease to make them, and what you put on them or have them with. Popovers are the Xmas morning thing. With mincement or leftover butter tart filling. num num.

Am I the only person who doesn't recognise at least half of these combinations as "disgusting" in any way? Maybe not haute cuisine, nor even Marguerite Patten, but some are the "cheap tricks" of comfort food and student standbys.

Anything, absolutely anything involving sweetcorn I cannot stand. There is a subtle flavour to it which my mouth rejects as unsuitable to eat. Don't know why, and I will eat it if courtesy demands, but yerrch...
No problem with cornflour and things made with it, or polenta, though, just the kernels.
