Weird Food Combinations

Dear Kēpōers, Have you ever seen a strange food combination such as pickles with peanut butter, cheese with apples, etc? You really want to try it but no matter how hard you force yourself you still don't have the guts to eat it. It’s almost the end of the semester and you really want to try something new. Fear not Kēpōers, because Kepo Magazine is here to help you.

This article will give you some unusual food fusion recommendations that you have probably never seen in your whole life.

1. French fries and ice cream

This weird food combination might make you frown. But actually this food tastes good together. The savory taste of the French Fries combined with the sweet and creamy ice cream makes an extraordinary chemistry. It's a classic sweet and salty mix with a hot and cold combo that might actually leave you wanting more and more!

2. Apples and peanut butter

The food mix might sound familiar to you and maybe you have already tried it. People like to eat their apples with peanut butter. It’s a delicious classic snack full of nutrition. The sweetness of the apple goes well with the saltiness of the peanut butter. Not only that Both apples and peanuts are full of nutrients that promote your health in a variety of ways. A little tip if you don’t like the thickness of the peanut butter you can add a little bit of hot water but it still tastes the same.

3. Strawberries and balsamic vinegar

This might actually sound disgusting and gross to you but it actually tastes good. The balsamic vinegar actually makes the sweetness of the strawberries' flavor pop more. But the most important thing if you want to try this weird food combination is to not use too much balsamic vinegar because it can overpower the strawberries' flavor.

4. Vanilla ice cream and olive oil

Olive oil surprisingly adds extra creaminess and a little bit of savory flavor to the vanilla ice cream. You can put the olive oil by lightly drizzling it on top of the ice cream or you can add it while you are making the ice cream.

5. Chips and whipped cream

To try this weird food combination all you have to do is to put a dollop of whipped cream on top of your chip and take a bite. This weird food combination almost tastes like a crispy waffle cone with melted ice cream because of the sweetness of the whipped cream combined with the crunchy texture and savory flavor of the chip.

There it is, Kēpōers, the unnatural food combination that you should give a try at least once in your lifetime. Hope this list serves you well. Don’t forget to share this article with your friends and family. Happy experimenting!
