I’ll start:
Sparkling Shiraz. This stuff is bloody lovely
Your nominations for stuff that shouldn’t work, but just does. Let’s have ‘em...
I've got a bottle of somthing similar under the stairs but no one wants to share it with me. Might break out a straw later.
Cheese and marmalade sandwiches. The stronger the cheese the better.
Might break out a straw later.
I’d definitely recommend you do. Non-plastic straw, obvs 😉
Cheese scones with rhubarb & ginger jam.
It's mixing savoury and sweet but it's the afternoon snack of the Gods
Cheese and marmalade sandwiches
In the same vein; v strong cheese on dark choc digestives
Crunchy peanut butter, sweet chilli chicken, rocket, on sourdough bread served with a rather marvellous IPA.
- Own farts
- The liquid from bovine-breasts mixed with mastitis pus, only now curdled and a foot-stink bacteria added to make it so putrid that the resultant goop tastes like tonsil-stones
- ^Same cheeses, yet amplified in taste by combining in mouth with a grape
- Mucus-covered organs

My sister used to live in Santander and a popular drink was red wine and cola. Can't remember what it was called, but that was surprisingly pleasant.

In the same vein, philadelphia cheese on dark chocolate ginger nuts

A mixture sent from the Gods.
Cold bike rides.
Peanut Butter (Crunchy obvs) and Marmite

Glazed curd cheese bars. A Lithuanian delicacy and absolutely amazing. Lidl do them from time to time.

A kindred spirit.
Yes to Marmite Peanut butter. Loveleh!
My sister used to live in Santander and a popular drink was red wine and cola. Can’t remember what it was called, but that was surprisingly pleasant.
Oooooooo, had forgotten all about that! Remember smashing loads on a 90's exchange trip to Oviedo. Comes pre-mixed right?
peanut butter and marmite doesn't sound like the work of the devil. That's god's own combination, sounds delicious, is.
– Mucus-covered organs
Any in particular? Or just as a general mission statement?

had to google that, looks like its called calimocho. ill be trying some.
Ebikes.
When I prepare food for a big day ride I make Elvis sandwiches for the group. Crispy cob (bread roll), butter, streaky bacon, crunchy peanut butter, apricot conserve. All the necessary food groups in one irresistible bundle.
MrsTH swears by Shandy, but replacing the lemonade with Cola.
I remain unconvinced
Slices of beetroot on a bacon butty.
Weetabix buttered with marmalade. 😋
Kalimotxo. It's Basque.
The perfect fuel for dancing until dawn.
Peanut Butter (Crunchy obvs) and Marmite.

Crunchy peanut butter and HP sauce.
Another mixture sent from the gods.
HOW DID I NEVER CONNECT THESE, big fan of chilli jam.
Norwegian brown cheese on ginger nut biscuits. I swear there's crack cocaine in that cheese. Once I start on this stuff I'm strangely compelled to eat the lot.

Mrs Binners spent a lot of time working out in Spain. She swears by this. It is herself who bought the sparkling Shiraz.
While we’re on the subject, chilled red wine sounds wrong, but this stuff is bloody great in the sun, straight out of the fridge
90% dark chocolate dipped in Hummus
I haven't tried it (slightly daren't) but a mate said that the cause of him putting on a LOT of weight one year was catering-size tubs of coronation chicken, scooped up with bourbon biscuits
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam on Scotch pancakes.
Brussels paté on lemon & sultana Scotch pancakes.
All 3 for breakfast sounds like the perfect start to the day.
Slices of beetroot on a bacon butty
Oh yes! I’m definitely trying that @captainclunkz
I’m a big fan of the corned beef and beetroot butty
In the same vein; v strong cheese on dark choc digestives
OK, I'll be honest - I thought that this was utter bollocks. But I happen to have both strong cheese and chocolate digestives and I conducted an experiment.
Long story short, it's bloody brilliant. Can't believe I've never tried this before.
Marmite and raspberry jam on toast. You need the marmite on quite thick to cut through the sweetness of the jam.
Put a mince pie in the oven, get it lovely and warm. Pop the top off when it comes out and put a decent slice of stilton inside.
This combination has been responsible for most of my Christmas weight gain since it was shown to me many years ago.
Cheese or peanut butter makes anything tasty.
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
So many people just don't/won't get this
There are things on here that sound utter shite...Can't wait to try them; especially peanut butter and marmite!
Stilton alloyed with grated carrot.
binners
Sparkling Shiraz. This stuff is bloody lovely
'Tis lovely indeed, but it is the work of the devil.
You discover that in the morning... 🙂
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
So many people just don’t/won’t get this
They're probably the ones who know it should be wensleydale or <spit> lancs
Taiwanese century eggs. Or stinky tofu.
90% dark chocolate dipped in Patak's aubergine pickle
Marmite/honey
Marmite/jam
Or sub in vegemite if you are feeling weak
Cheese and marmalade sandwiches. The stronger the cheese the better.
to my mind the only acceptable application for marmalade
however I’ve been extolling the virtues of the ham, gruyere, banana and creme fraisch pan-fried eggy bread sandwich on this forum for about 15 years and I don’t think I’ve ever convinced anyone to try one
For me its a rare treat as I can’t really tolerate dairy but it’s so lovely it gets eaten straight out of the pan standing at the stove
Strong Cheddar (Sussex Charmer) + Sweet pickled Beetroot in white bread.
+1 whoever said Norwegian brown cheese and Ginger nuts - Glorious and addictive. Food of the Viking’s
Strong Cheddar (Sussex Charmer) + Sweet pickled Beetroot in white bread
@dozofoz - pretty much my favourite butty. Try a really strong Tasty Lancs, it’s even better than cheddar. I bloody love beetroot!
Let me recommend you try this pure filth on white bread (Warburtons toastie):
Morrison’s cheese and onion sandwich filler
And sweet juniper and black pepper beetroot
@binners - with most houses having Central heating now, room temp is quite high compared to when red wine was traditionally served at room temp. Shoving you're Pinot Noir in the fridge for 20 mins before serving is usually a good idea
Ok Binners - I think you have just made my Christmas.
Juniper berry and black pepper beetroot? In Morrisons ffs?
Wow.
You’ll love it! It’s got a proper kick to it. Bloody lovely on a corned beef butty too
Mackie's vanilla ice cream out the freezer for half an hour pour in some whisky, whip it all up for a few mins then re freeze
Port is another favourite gives it a nice dark pink colour and cracking flavour
Black pudding. Despite knowing what it's made from it's bloody gorgeous.
Black pudding? Another winner!! Living in Bury it’s almost compulsory.
In my Christmas spirit of recommending perfect accompaniments for stuff, have you tried it with a really eye-wateringly strong Roquefort melted on the top
Or chicken breasts stuffed with black pudding and Stilton that they do on Bury Market?
Scrumpy (or any cider) and Gin. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
Guinness and tia-Maria
Put a mince pie in the oven, get it lovely and warm. Pop the top off when it comes out and put a decent slice of stilton inside.
Im going to be all over this, thank you.
Haggis pizza
Better than a donner meat and garlic sauce pizza?
have you tried it with a really eye-wateringly strong Roquefort melted on the top
Not yet...
Thanks for the tip though! 😃
Some good stuff on here but will give the coronation chicken scooped up with Bourbon biscuits a miss.
Our festive cake/cheese combo is xmas cake and white Stilton or crumbly Cheshire.
Binners what was it you recommended on Aldidl Manchego?
Manchego drizzled in honey. I’ve not got a sweet tooth at all but OH MY ****ING GOD! It’s bloody gorgeous!
Again: shouldn’t work, but really, really really does
Black pudding you say?
This:
On a bed of steak.
black pudding is another food of the gods. Bury brand does nothing for me; controversially the supermarket go-to for me is Klonakilty. Which is beef!!!
Haggis pizza
Lasagne made 50/50 with minced beef and haggis is stunning.
I was a stilton w/mince pie virgin until recent years when introduced to them via a person from Kidderminster. My skepticism dissolved in the afterglow of cakeycheesemould. Acid reflux never tasted so good!
Chorizo and taramaslata - seriously good!
Better than a donner meat and garlic sauce pizza?
Round our way they do an awesome tandoori lamb curry calzone.
Cheesy curry pizza, bloody marvelous
Ham, cheese and crunchy peanut butter sandwiches.
Mrs Tyred has just this minute eaten a miniture Twirl out the heroes tub then went straight in for a marinated green olive.
Stilton mince pie sounds amazing. Made mince pies earlier this evening. Pretty sure there's stilton in the fridge.
Hold my beer.

Will you give it a rest please. I've had a Chippy Tea followed by sausage rolls and cheese & Biscuits and I'm still hungry.
You just need to wrap the chicken breasts stuffed with black pudding & stilton in sweet cure bacon then slathered in redcurrent jelly to allow me to die a happy man 🙂
Chorizo, 80% dark chocolate, rinsed down with malt whisky of choice. Epic backpacking snack.
Ditto Peanut butter and mango chutney on oatcakes.....
Anyone had parched peas?
MrsTH swears by Shandy, but replacing the lemonade with Cola.
Known as a diesel (at least it was in Germany)
Can’t wait to try them; especially peanut butter and marmite!
Don’t really care for either. But the jar of ready mixed we have in the cupboard is better than the sum of its parts. Proper synergy!
Oh and savoury cream tea. Scone, goats cheese and chilli jam.
Brie on malt loaf. Perfect recovery food
Crunchy peanut butter and small chunk Branston pickle sandwiches!
Brie on malt loaf. Perfect recovery food
I've found my next 'must try that' moment.
Aldi do a very nice sparkling Red wine called Fork & Spoon.
I've got a couple of bottles in the fridge at the moment.
