I had half a tin of beans left over from tea last night and, as we'll not be eating at home until Sunday, thought I should try and make use of them. At the minute I'm making cheese salads for my lunch, which are tasty and I've been really enjoying them, but I thought what the heck - it's a Friday, live a little. So mushroom, tomato, peas, green beans, cubes of double gloucester and shreds of lettuce with half a tin of beans - opened up my lunchbox with not a little trepidation, and it was fantastic, deffo be trying that again.

Any other suggestions for foods that might not immediately seem to be compatable that you've found work well together?

Microwaved lasagne, cut into strips and wrapped in cheap white bread in a sausage roll style.

Last nights lasagne, stir-fried in a wok then served in a sandwich was my breakfast of choice as a student

Cheese and marmalade

Its the only way I can eat marmalade, smashing with cheese but can't stand it otherwise.

toasted cheese and soya sauce is good too

Strawberries and balsamic vinegar - seriously good together

Strawberries and Halloumi too
