Strange Food Combinations That Actually Work Well

Throughout my life, people would look at the food on my plate and give me a strange look or call me weird. That’s because I would mix anything together.

My mind told me that if there are two foods I love individually, like say ramen and cream of spinach, then they should taste even better together!

Now, this didn’t work all the time. I very quickly realized that, as much as I loved wasabi and red bean paste, they just do not go together. However, other foods, like say ramen and cream of spinach, are surprisingly delicious together!

Redditors are eager to share many strange food combinations that actually go well together.
