We've all tried unconventional combinations only to be surprised by one that works. It just makes sense and then you wonder what you did before you were introduced. Naturally, you want to tell the world. It's kind of like when you finally get to meet a cute, nice boy and all you want is for your single friends to find boys as nice. But what I'm talking about isn't boys. It's something much better than boys; it's food. There's no further explanation as to why food is better.
1. Frosty's and French fries
Not only is it a combination of hot and cold, it’s sweet and salty. It’s everything we want in fast food and it’s not even a special on the menu.
2. Pizza and ranch
It’s very possible that when we eat pizza with ranch, it reminds us of vegetables and ranch; by eating it with pizza, we somehow think it’s healthy. Oooor because it’s really good. Who's to say? Just imagine a classic piece of pizza – thin crust or deep dish – and dip it in something so complementary that you’re forever changed. Changed as a person and changed the way you eat pizza. (Note: also applicable to both Bagel Bites and Pizza Rolls).
3. Hawaiian pizza - specific ingredient: pineapple
Pineapple on pizza? Like, pineapple the fruit and pizza the slice of heaven? Yes. It’s the most beautiful combination. Just before you bite into a doughy bed framed by crust, topped with a sauce comforter and mozzarella accents, you sink into the pillows of pineapple. Sweet, unique pineapple. Then, right after… the rest is too explicit to be stated.
4. Egg on a burger
What’s a great breakfast food? Eggs. What’s a great dinner food? Burgers. Put them both together and you know you’ve got the best of both worlds *Hannah Montana laughs*. But seriously, it’s all you think they’d be together. It’s like when two celebrities get together and it’s beautiful, like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
5. Chocolate and anything
I know you’re thinking of a list of what goes great with chocolate—strawberries (fruit in general), marshmallows, pancakes, and pretzels, even bacon. They’re such a classy and timeless combination; one might compare this combination to Audrey Hepburn.
6. Chicago style popcorn
Cheese and caramel? Pass. But when you put cheese popcorn in the same bag with caramel popcorn, we all know that bag doesn’t stand a chance. It’s the perfect snack (or meal) satisfying both your sweet and creamy needs and your salty and cheesy needs. It’s a special treat every time you eat it regardless of how often you eat it—some more often than others. I don’t judge.
I'm sure I missed a few, but I know you have to be craving something at this point. My nose would grow if I said my mouth wasn't watering a little while writing this. I conclude in saying I wish you the best of luck on finding your perfect combo. Like they always say, there's plenty of fish in the sea.
