Always looking for new food ideas.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
Okay now THAT is weird. How did they prepare the pear? Big slices or little?
That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.
I’ve had similar pizzas in the US. “Sweet pizzas”, so to speak, were all the rage in the mid 2010s. More often, they were branded as flatbreads.
I’ve made pizza topped with a brandy peach sauce (peaches sautéed in brandy, nutmeg, butter), bourbon blueberry syrup, and taleggio. Even better is peaches, arugula, and brie.
Peanut butter on hamburgers. Really nice contrast especially if you also include pickles
This is the one I came here to post. Tried it at a brew pub I liked, I figured they wouldn’t steer me wrong.
It’s a bit messy once the burger starts really melting the peanut butter, but it reminded me of satay w/ peanut sauce.
No pickles for me though, I can’t seem to get with the taste of cucumber in any form I’ve tried.
pizza with jalapeños and pineapple, the spicy-sweet was pretty good
Not unusual but not common is fish sauce on your fried or scrambled eggs.
I have also seen someone added fish sauce into their chili. Not a lot, just a splash for the whole pot. It works.
There’s fish in Worcestershire sauce, iirc…
I hadn’t known that, until reading the fine print…
A can of condensed tomato soup, 1 can of milk, pad of butter, 1/2 cup(or more) instant rice. Lets soup come to near boil, turn off heat, add rice., cover and let steep for about 8 minutes.
I sometimes will toss in tomato soup instead of water when using a rice cooker when I’m sick and just want carbs and salt and liquid. It’s adequate.
