Food Combinations
Ask a Question
Just seen a water melon (I carried a water melon...?) and enjoy them with feta balsamic and black pepper - the pretentious foodie moments are balanced out as I also like to eat nutella out the jar!)
What are your fav unusual food combinations?
There is a Norwegian brown cheese called Gudbrandsdalen, it goes really well with gherkins. It can be found in a number of specialty shops and some Waitrose stores - https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/gjetost-gudbrandsdalen/577198-81772-81773
My boyfriend is Norwegian and his mom sends the brown cheese over all the time. 
I think it's ok in small doses, I just find it kinda sickly. It reminds me like a slightly stronger cheese spread in taste but with a weird texture.
LittleLisaMarie I really like it, when I'm in Scandinavia I always go crazy with the big blocks they have of it at the buffet breakfasts. I'm usually told the cheese slicer was invented in Norway when I'm there 
ACR the last one she sent was like a massive 1kg block lol.. We had to cut it up into 4 pieces and share it with my family.
She's also sent us a few of the famous cheese slicers too! 
Got to say, they are pretty good when it comes to cutting cheese though, wayyy more convenient than using a knife lol.
I love it there, it's a beautiful country and we usually go and visit in the summer or for christmas.
My boyfriend will be leaving me to visit his family for a couple of weeks in early August, I'm jealous that I'm not going because I'll be 8 months pregnant lol.
LittleLisaMarie Congratulations! I have a cheese slicer as well, they're great I really like it in Norway as well. The long summer nights are amazing. I'm also partial to the Cloudberry Jam 
ACR thank you! 
I agree, the summer nights are lovely! His parents live about 30mins from Bergen and it rained A LOT while we were there.
Last summer we spent 2 weeks at his grandparents summer house up in north norway, the weather was beautiful and the sun used to set about 3 in the morning.
I don't think I've tried the cloudberry jam, I've tried some homemade nordic blueberry jam though.
LittleLisaMarie wow view envy that looks so tranquil....even with smelly cheese 
That one was taken on his grandparents front garden lol.
I'll have to get my laptop out later and post a pic of the view right opposite the summer house.
Most of my photos are on there because of having a new phone recently lol.
I like snickers with smoky bacon crisps and salt & vinegar sticks with apple pie. A bite of each and chew 
No idea how i found the combo because im not fussed on any of them on their own 
mind blown totally get the first but wonder how the second works im gonna have to try it hilarious how you put these together
pineapple and black olives...
fish pate with cream cheese...
and i love pickles so much...with everything
dear god- do we share taste buds??? have tried these and yup I agree thank you
I donβt think itβs that unusual (obvs as I eat it) but people are usually horrified. I love mayonnaise on toast
My boyfriend loves butter on digestive biscuits... which is apparently a normal thing but i think its disgusting I donβt like mixing savoury and sweet things together and I consider digestive biscuits to be sweet and butter to be savoury...
I know! Like its a warm sandwich really but so many people have made me feel....well a bit dirty for eating this. Ha glad im not alone!
wonder if this comes from the digestive and cheese tradition? Might give it a miss though.....unless the gin and ginger beer munchies kick in! Thank you
my wife eats a sandwich consisting of cheese and onion crisps and banana, i have to leave the room i cant look lol
I discovered Gordons Premium Pink Gin (Raspberry, Strawberry, Redcurrant) is absolutely delicious with Ginger Beer, when we ran out of tonic recently.
Roll on the weekend!
Gin & ginger beer counts as food, right?!
yes yes yes have got my family onto this! 
Gin and Ginger Beer counts as a religion in my mind!
I used to love cheese and jam sandwiches when I was a kid. I suppose it is no different to having cheese with a sweet chutney........hmmm caramelised onion chutney is one of my favourites.
I caramelise onions in my pressure cooker- made some bloody gorgeous apricot cranberry and chilli chutney for christmas cheese board yummy
