What weird food combinations are you into?
And since this is FT, let me please beg forgiveness for ending my question with a preposition (sorry, but "into what weird food combos are you?" didn't sound as good). 
I'm asking because some years back a friend forced me to try cheddar cheese toasted on bread with strawberry jam. It sounded so disgusting, but when I tasted it, it was not bad at all. I'm actually contemplating making it now, since I have cheese, bread, and jam (and more or less nothing else) and can't decide if I want to eat something kind of sweet or kind of salty.
So there, I've admitted my disgusting food combination. What about you?

Salty cheese with sweet food isn't that unusual in some places - in NW England, fruit cake with cheddar is a traditional dish (and rather lovely, too). My personal favourite along these lines is toasted hot cross buns with (particularly strong) mature cheddar - mmm, lovely stuff.
The area I now live in has a sweet-savoury local 'delicacy' (it's far from delicate) too - the Bedfordshire Clanger. It's quite tasty.

1-From doing the "Body for Life" plan for about years, I can still enjoy cottage cheese and yogurt, especially with peach or strawberry yougrt.
2-As a kid, I like many loved to add my chips into my PB&J. Even better when my Mom would buy crunchy PB as I was the only one who preferred it.
3-Alcohol wise, I will take a 12 oz lager, and add a shot of vodka with 6oz. of 7-up. When combined, I like it. I'll also go for a flavored rum with diet tonic (but this could be its own thread...sorry).
4-After consuming a few of the #3s, any diner which has a "kitchen sink" style breakfast I usually like.

You brought back a memory for me. Many, many years ago when I was a kid (around the time of the dinosaurs, 4,000 or 65,000,000 years ago, depending on your religious beliefs) my ex-brother-in-law's mother used to eat cornbread in milk. I thought it was gross then, too. It's interesting to see other people eat it as well. I don't believe she added onion but doing so didn't make it any more or less disgusting.
Although I guess I really can't throw stones. I used to eat chocolate chip cookies crumbled into a glass of milk myself.
