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.


It all started when Redditor thecoomdaddy400 asked:

Lindsey Graham Slammed For Posting Casually Cruel Threat Aimed At Greta Thunberg

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was widely condemned on X after he tweeted a threat aimed at Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who is part of a flotilla that's attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The vessel, named Madleen, is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), a nonprofit known for organizing maritime missions to challenge Israel’s control over Gaza’s coastal access. Organizers of the effort described it not as a charitable delivery but as a form of nonviolent protest against what they called “Israel’s illegal siege and escalating war crimes.”
