Just this year, Oreos made a Sour Patch Kids Oreo. It was terrible, but don’t pretend like there aren’t people out in the world committing food crimes. Taco Bell is committed to lowering the bar on what humans are willing to eat, don’t disservice their hustle.
What’s wrong with the Legally Allowed Amounts of Silica Crunchwrap Supreme?
Look, they were brave enough to find out how big you could make a cheez-it, and then shoved that inside a Crunchwrap. I’m not brave enough to make disparaging comments about an entity so powerful.
We make new kinds of sandwiches all the time…
If you wanna go back to tuna mayo and olives gelatin aspics from the 60’s go right ahead.
And I bet that was not the worst ‘food’ of this era.
LoL probably not
This is the spot to share with everyone the viral trend of vanilla ice cream with olive oil and sea salt.
I get the sea salt, because sweet and salty can be a good combination, but…olive oil?
It’s fat, which our tongues always like, and mildly bitter, which compensates the salt while still letting it enhance the vanilla flavor. Completing the flavor triad. It also coats the mouth making the ice cream feel extra creamy.
Depends on the culture and time if you ask me.
I tried a new food combo as a kid. I liked Nutella, and I liked tangerine slices in syrup. So I combined them.
Mom made me eat it.
It didn’t taste like a chocolate orange?
Not really. It was horrible.
I think you could do nutella and some orange zest in a sandwich
That would actually be fine if I was still eating Nutella. But believe me, the tangerine slices and the syrup from the tin with Nutella - lets say it was not nice.
Anything is a sandwich if your poor enough.
I mean, just never. What people eat is a function of what is available/cheap/tasty/trendy at any given time, and I doubt the availability of both ingredients and “ideas” (recipes and techniques globally, trends for better/worse) has ever been higher globally, let alone in “developed” countries.
Watch Ordinary Sausage on YouTube. He is a pioneer in developing new and exciting foodstuffs.
My wife’s been really into foraging lately and I’ve learned you can eat so many random weeds found all over the place.
peanut butter, hot sauce, fried egg, cheese, and mayonnaise sandwich
Hit in Thailand
A lot if what we as a society have settled on is also because of economy at scale logic. There are many things that are delicious but won’t keep well outside of a small window in specific conditions. Or have less yeild than common alternatives. And sadly many clients simply don’t want to try new things.
I suggest for anyone that can, try your hand at fermentation, especially if you have room for a garden. There is so much you can do from making your own koji to lacto-fermenting Nasturtium berries. There are many new flavours for you to discover and share with friends.
Another idea is to learn more about local foraging and seeking out local Mycological societies to learn about mushrooms in your area.
Only tangentially related, but the cheapest (by weight and per unit) type of hamburger patties at my local Costco this month are Impossible Burgers.
If you’re not familiar with these, they’re completely vegan, made from soy protein, but the texture and flavor is almost identical to beef. They cook like beef, taste like beef, and “bleed” like beef. And (for a few weeks, at least) they’re cheaper than beef.
That’s a new and exciting sandwich IMO.
Just get on TikTok. Those goofy kids constantly make weird food combos. Sometimes they’re actually good!
I do most of the cooking in my family, and I’m one of those people who will often look at recipes when I’m doing something new, but mostly just do simple dishes and wing it. I’ll often try and incorporate things we have. All of which is to say, there’s a nontrivial amount of experimenting, which isn’t always a good thing.
I remember serving a noodle casserole, and there were some scrunched up faces around the table. My wife asked what the fuck the chewy things were, and I said smoked oysters (which the family loves). They’ve made fun of me for years on that one
In all honesty, I thought it tasted pretty good.
