Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    Uh, I have a pretty good one that y’all will love :)

    Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. People look at it and are disgusted, but it’s amazing. The tangy mayo goes so well with the sweet pb.

      Oh, I have to disagree with you there. I was trying to make fluffernutter (peanut butter + fluff) when I was drunk, and accidentally made peanut butter with mayo. It took me half an hour to stop vomiting after a single bite.

        Do you think that it didn’t sit right with you because the sandwich is bad or because you were drunk?

          well, it wasn’t a ‘sit right’ issue, as I hadn’t the chance to swallow it. I had barely begun to chew it before it provoked a response.

          under normal circumstances with normal drinkers, probably, but I’m what you might call a… veteran drinker. I’m not one to puke unless… “especially provoked”. for example, I don’t puke from drinking too much (well, not for decades); I’ll certainly pass out first, and that’s after a couple of liters of whiskey over 3-5 hours-- after which point my tongue is typically pretty numb, so it takes a lot to break through that.

          I will say that the level of my drunkenness it probably why I puked as much as did, but I wouldn’t have puked in the first place had it not been for the foulness of what I ate.

          tl:dr: the answer is that I don’t think so, but it’s possible

          I will say this was long enough ago that, if I were to have a different reaction today, I’d have to replicate the experiment to find out, and I only have 750ml of bourbon to test it. if I remember, I’ll wait till I finish and dab a bit of PB+mayo on my finger and taste it to see what happens ;)

          Update: sorry, I fell asleep ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Perhaps you’re right. But I’ll never know, because it sounds fucking disgusting and I don’t wanna try it again.

                I’m an adventurous eater, there are very few foods I will not at least try. I believe in trying just about everything because you never know when you will find your new favorite food. But you do you ;)

                  I’m an adventurous eater as well. Thing is: I did try it. It did not agree with me, and I am not particularly disposed to try it again.

                  Edit: I admit that it was under rather precarious circumstances, but I’m just gonna have to take the L on this one

                  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I can see it, but I’d think there’d be a better source of acid/sour that isn’t as fatty to pair with the PB.

        Folks will hate this, but I actually grew up eating it with Miracle Whip more often than mayo, both are good though. I don’t eat it very frequently because it’s so fatty, but if I need a cheap filling something, I’ll grab that every once in a while.

      I’ve been eating peanut butter, mayonnaise, and bologna sandwiches since I was a kid, (though now I use a veganaise that I prefer to mayonnaise). So tasty!

      Along the same lines: grilled cheese dipped in maple syrup + hot sauce

        I’ve never had it with bologna, I’ll have to give it a shot one day.

        I would totally chow down on that grilled cheese, that does sound good!

      Hmm, I’ve never considered this.

      What’s the ratio of PB to mayo? One side of a slice each?

        Yep. Each on one slice of bread. It’s an old cheap meal from the US depression, my grandma ate it as a kid and she fed it to her kids, and them to my generation of cousins.

        As to ratio, about even maybe. If the pb is too dry, maybe a bit more mayo.

          Makes sense. I’d have to be suffering a major economic crisis to even consider an abomination like a peanut butter and mayo sandwich lol

            Right? Like it’s not my absolute favorite sandwich, which a blt from my local shop, but it’s a lot better than you would think it should be.
