Chorizo and taramasalata? I thought I was the only one! In a similar vein for years my wife has made a little vom noise as I, face in the fridge, scoop taramasalata up with a roll of Parma ham.
These thing are truly the work of the devil himself according to people I have dealt with:
1. Di2 - communicates with Microsoft and Google and will short out and electrocute you, especially on a Ti frame. Allows Amazon to listen to your gear changes.
2. Tubeless - will puncture and go flat the second you leave the house IF you can get it to seal. Tyres are known to explode and kill nearby puppies and kittens. The only safe way to cycle is 120 PSI in a tubed tyre.
3. Disc brakes - untried technology. Will lead to deafness due to squeeling and rub noise that you can't eliminate. Hot rotors can also slice people in half during an accident.
I suspect some of my customers experiences may be anecdotal.
Dry roasted peanuts
Thai sweet chilli sauce on a fried egg butty/sandwich/whatever
Having wrote that, I realise there's no sweet chilli sauce in the house [/sadface]
Orange juice and cola. Great designated driver drink. Known as Thames Mud where I grew up!
Cold shepherds pie sandwiches, ditto cold bolognaise or chilli 🙂
Cold tinned spaghetti bolognese is a lovely, sweet treat when camping

You didn’t get a Lego technical car bout 35 years ago as a Chrissy pressie then 🙂
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
Testify! This tradition was passed down to me from my father - I can confirm that a single malt accompanies it rather well.
In a similar vein, using a Christmas pudding to stuff a turkey results in the nectar of the gods...
Peanut Butter (Crunchy obvs) and Marmite.
A mixture sent from the Gods.
Is there some sort of golden ratio or trick to this? It gets suggested a lot, I'm a huge fan of both of those things but together was revolting. Entirely the opposite of this thread title in fact.
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
I used to get "apple pie a la mode" (ie, with ice cream) from McD's and eat the toffee-sauce-drizzled ice cream using fries.
Orange juice and cola. Great designated driver drink. Known as Thames Mud where I grew up!
Beat me to it. Years ago you used to be able to get orange and cola cordial, might've been a short-lived Robinson's outing.
So instead, as Marmite seems to be on fleek in this thread, I'll suggest Marmite and tomato ketchup sandwiches.
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.
had to google that, looks like its called calimocho. ill be trying some.
well i tried it last night. interesting flavour, couldnt quite place it, then i thought it reminded me of those old sweets, kopp kopps were they called?
enjoyed a glass or two but then the taste started grating on me a bit. might give it another go later, itll make the red wine last a bit longer if nothing else 😀
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
That reminds me,
Ice cream float. Pint glass, half a pint of Tango / Fanta, big scoop of vanilla ice cream, shot or two of Southern Comfort over the top. Nothing better in the garden on a summer's day.
... anyone got any of these that aren't food? (-:
Calimocho isn't just Basque, it's pretty popular all over Spain. Just don't waste a decent red 🙂

Vegan pigs in blankets
(wrapped a warm This Isn’t Bacon rasher around a defrosted Linda Macs sos, fixed with a cocktail stick, lightly oiled and thrown in roasting tin towards the end of the roasties). Blimmin lush.
Vegan whisky butter
(Mixed Pure Olive Oil Spread with sugar and a little Oatly Fraiche. Glugette of Irish whisky. Whipped and then chilled in freezer. Dropped on a warm mince pie). Amazing.

Full MemberChristmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
As others have said lots of other nice tangy cheese works.
Though my Gloucestershire in laws looked at me like I had two heads when I mentioned it, same goes for chip butty or fish finger sarni. They are lovely people but honestly their culinary experience is so limited!
The notion of a chip butty really breaks the heads of most Americans.
Which is bloody bizarre considering some of the shit they put in a bap.
Derailleur gears. You spend a lot of time and effort making sure that the chain and cog mesh properly then somebody decides it would be a great idea to just shove the chain off of the cog onto a different sized one to change gear. Cue all sorts of lash ups to make it work - springs, idler cogs, limit screws, four bar linkages. Not to mention sticky out bits ready to be hit by random rocks.
But it works really well, is efficient and light.
Just seen this, binners is right - sparkling Shiraz is amazing.
Gammon cooked in Coca-Cola (ideafrom a different thread). Did it today - goodness me, it was tasty.

Got to love the fact that a leftard throwing a bottle of coke at someone, thinks that makes him a good person
Cheap Chinese chicken noodles on buttered white toast. A carb plus carb anti Atkins post ride-beer snack. Pleby and so wrong but so good.
Got to love the fact that a
leftardyoung fellow throwing a bottle of coke atsomeonea divisive, slimy tosser whose career xenophobia, lies and political machinations conspired to help cripple a country, upend and ruin countless lives, divide and break unions, help grow a fake, fear-mongering ‘culture war’ to prop up his pulpit?
Yes, he’ll survive a splash of pop. But he’s still not a good person. Oh wait, you meant the young fellow...? Well, we can only guess at his motives/what he thinks about himself, can’t we? 🙄
*Edit famous ‘leftards’ Burger King also had a hand in the trend.
The UK police requested that an Edinburgh McDonald's refrain from selling milkshakes on May 17 during a visit by Nigel Farage. This prompted Burger King to tweet in response: "We're selling milkshakes all weekend. Have fun."[23] Burger King's tweet was later banned by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority, because they felt that it "condoned the previous anti-social behaviour and encouraged further instances", and that it was therefore an "irresponsible" advertisement.
‘Irresponsible advertisement’? ‘Anti-social behaviour?’Cake or death? Leftards or rightards? War or peace? Fash or splash?
Never forget

isn't this basically posh lambrusco? ie tart fuel.
fish finger sarni
you bobby dazzler! i just remembered the box of fish fingers in the freezer! i was wondering what i was going to do with the rest of that loaf of bread i bought for bacon sarns!
Was it nice @Del
To be honest I had a Pigs in Blankets Sarni with well buttered bread, one slice had an extra layer of English mustard the other Redcurrent jelly.
The P-I-B were hot enough to melt the butter etc into a mouth dripping/lip licking joyful world of tastes.
If you think about it oats and fat in pigs blood sounds pretty rank but black pudding is bloody lovely.

Yes and no, both in the right ways.

My preferred technique for this is to butter the toast first. Then load up the knife with as much peanut butter that you can keep on the knife. Spread it on and repeat the process. Now apply the marmite, again with as much as you get on the knife. Some knife rotation is required to maximise the quantity removed from the jar and applied to the toast.
Lovely
scrambled egg and marmite sandwiches (cold)
Stollen and Stilton works pretty well.

Bourgogne Mousseux has been made for over 150 years. I don't want to drink it all the time, but usually have a couple of bottles in 'just in case'.
Toasted cheddar and banana sarnie.
Blimmin' lovely.
Definitely peanut butter and marmite, but preferably not the jars of this, as those are not marmitey enough for me.
A rather more ‘work of the devil’ is my pickled herring porridge combo......better than you might expect !
Peanut butter on fruit salad - a yummy lockdown discovery.
I'll never be convinced by anything carb-on-carb like a chip butty though
same goes for chip butty or fish finger sarni
Well, I have to admit I’d never seen the appeal of either, until I tried this fish finger sarni...
As served by the Dolphin pub by Bristol docks.
Oh God, I could eat one of those right now!
