Beer and....... what was the question?

My nephew used to like steamed white rice with ketchup on it. I like my steamed white rice with cheese and ranch.

Pineapple on pizzas and burgers. To me, the most obvious connection in the world. But apparently I am devil spawn according to some people. <shrugs> No accounting for taste.

Shredded carrots, mixed with peanut butter, preferably chunky then stuffed in half a bell pepper. First time I heard of it I thought, "EWWW!" but I tried it and it is a surprisingly tasty combo.

My friend Amy grew up eating cornbread crumbled in milk.

When i was 22 my best friend dared me to make a tuna salad sandwich using blueberry eggo waffles as the bread. I liked it. I've never eaten it again...But i liked it.

When I was in high school, a school-wide loved dish was french fries and gravy. We also would dip them in mayo and ketchup mixed together.

Overcooked bacon with raw alfalfa sprouts and tomato sauce (ketchup?) on flat bread.

I'd forgotten all about sugar sandwiches with butter...thank you! I want one now!

Vinegar on French fries
Chili on rice
Chicken and gravy on waffles
Hot sauce on eggs

Lime...in my beer.

Grilled cheese and pickles.

So this is totally poor people food, but I don't care, I was poor, and it worked! Lol we used 2 make chicken or pork top ramen, with tuna and egg. Don't knock it till ya try it

French fries with lemon juice. Yum.

Snickers and potato chips.

Tabasco Sauce is delicious in some beers. It doesn't taste the way you would expect it to. It tastes and goes down smooth, and then the warmth hits in the finish--and on your lips. They don't call me hot-lips for nothing.

For the beer purists and snobs out there, don't worry, there are numerous brews that are best left unadulterated.

The linty crust accrued from many neglectful years of misuse drizzled in the condensed milk of insomnolent solitude.

peanut butter and bacon on toast

Butter + Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce on Hot Dogs.

Red wine and sweet green tea.

Salsa and deep-fried pork rinds. They snap, crackle and pop. And it is like meat & vegetables.

Parmesan cheese on my tofu and kale scramble.

Sunflower seeds or pine nuts in macaroni salad.

Sardines in tomato or mustard sauce mixed in macaroni salad.

Nutritional shake (like Ensure) in place of creamer in coffee.

Bovril or Vegemite on toast. This will not be weird to those of you from the UK.

Thai Spicy Peanut Sauce on almost anything! Eggs, sub sandwiches, potato salad, anywhere you might use ketchup.

Nori in soups.

Smashed potatoes with applesauce is always a good choice.

Sardines and pesto in a toasted sandwich was a favourite before I stopped eating fish.

I once went to an Italian/Asian fusion restaurant in Marina Del Rey California called "Rice Man". I had some spagetti liek noodeles with a creamy wasabe sauce, which ws fantastic.

They didn't survive, partly because they were a bit pricey and partly because their menu was too unusual for people to frequent it often enough. Still more than 15 years later, I still remember how wonderful that meal was.

Vanilla ice cream and bacon.

I can mix pretty much anything as long as one doesn't overpower the other. In my lifetime there were many occasions where what was left in the cupboards and freezer was dinner. So in order to fill the bellies, random things were put together and that was dinner.
