Favourite food combinations.

I’m staying with DD until Sunday and was relieved to find a few blueberries at the back of the fridge to go on top of my gf granola this morning. Plenty of other fruit available but it has to be blueberries on granola or porridge.

Just the same as it has to be:

Sliced bananas on cornflakes.
Apples or grapes with cheese.
A grating of nutmeg on cabbage.
A slither of cheese with fruitcake
And….a teaspoon of marmite on steaming hot, buttered Brussels sprouts. ?

Do you have any favourite food companions other than the usual sauces with roast meats or am I just weird? ?

Cream cracker sandwiches with cheddar and horseradish. Crispy and tasty.

Cranberries and flaked almonds on my porridge.

I'm a cheddar cheese lover, and love it with tomato, or onion, or celery!
Another good combination is sardines mashed with chopped onion!

I have had a cold for over a week and yesterday I felt really sorry for myself/unwell and I had half a tin of heinz tomato soup with a piece of cheese on toast and it didn't half make me feel better!

egg and salad cream sandwiches

My daughter loved those when she was young Janejudge but said no one would sit next to her on school trips when she opened them. grin

Marmite and cheese - a marriage made in heaven! Oh, and merlotgran, M&S were selling brussels sprouts with Marmite this year!

Years ago a friend who lives in Somerset told me shredded sprout and marmite sandwiches were a West Country delicacy.

I tried it in DS’s school lunchbox but I found out later he’d fed them to his pet rabbit. ?

Banana and marmite, on it’s own, or in a sandwich.

Soroptimum Fri 31-Dec-21 14:29:02

Cheese and strawberry jam sandwich, and chocolate with a packet of salted crisps.

Tuna sandwich with mayonnaise and sultanas.

Nortsat Fri 31-Dec-21 14:46:15

Grated cheddar mixed to a paste with mayonnaise, then spread on marmite toast.
Grill until the cheese has melted to goo and the top has browned.
Delish!

A kind of deconstructed chocolate cheesecake.

I must try it. ?

Peanut butter is my weakness. It goes with so many things. My favourite is marmalade but will also go with honey, jam, bananas, date spread and probably many more.

Grandmagrim Fri 31-Dec-21 15:55:43

Chocolate with salted crisps. Strawberries with black pepper

I had a craving for slices of sour apples smeared with peanut butter when I was pregnant.

You don’t know how long the cheese might have been hanging around for ?
