I would love to see a version of these videos where the pairings are effectively random, rather than user-submitted. Bins for each type of taste (savory, salty, etc) with examples of that type on slips of paper in the bins. Pick two at random!

[@avaw3293]

chaseea0 the idea is that they are seemingly random pairing that people actually think work together though, not just eating random things that seems so pointless

[@POOCOMESFROMFOOD]

Ava W that is the point though lol, things that seems pointless and someone discovers them. So what chase is implying is for them to discover things that work Not just put like tuna and and cat food Still have stuff that all works together in each card, just shuffle the cards

The jerky and raspberry jam seems it would be similar to the cranberry sauce and oven roasted turkey we would have for thanksgiving.

Jam and red meat are usually pretty good. Pick a meat you like, pick a jam you like, toss 'em together.

Courtney Myrick In Sweden we eat meatballs with jam made from Lingonberries, a tart, red forest berry. We also eat roasts with black currant jelly and it works great

The ice cream reminded me of a crazy flavor pairing. In college, some of my guy friends were messing around with flavors and what they had on hand because what else do you do as a poor college student. They discovered that saltines topped with a bit of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with siracha sauce tasted really good. I would randomly catch them eating it after that. I wasn't brave enough for it but they loved it.

Can you do a video about combining different foods for it to taste like something else. I have seen a Japanese show saying that orange/mandarin + soy sauce + seaweed = taste of salmon roe. Also have seen them say chicken liver + mayonnaise = foie gras Japanese pudding + soy sauce= sea urchin

[@agnieszkakowalska9658]

That would be a great idea! For people who miss some flavours but they either don't have the right ingredients (or money to buy the pricey stuff) to create a specific dish or can't eat something due to allergies or other dietary restrictions. Recreating something with other whole foods would help avoid very processed imitations. For example, I feel like smoked salmon and mozzarella together taste like a hot dog sausage.

[@deonysuss8412]

Meatballs and jam goes well too. They have that at IKEA.

[@-Anjel]

It's a Nordic thing. Lingonberries are high in benzene which is a natural preservative, because of the long dark winters there aren't many fresh things or sources of vitamin C. So lingonberries were used to help preserve many foods and crushed lingonberries were added to many meals (people didn't know about vitamins back then, but they knew some foods helped to keep people from getting sick). I've never had lingonberries in Ikea, can't believe the jam is of good quality. The real version of lingonberry jam isn't that sweet, it's sour, only little sugar is added and it's quite loose. In Finnish it's called puolukkasurvos, puolukka=lingonberry and survos=rough mash. It's often eaten with meat, like with our version of blood pudding or with reindeer stew.

Grilled cheese with almost any jelly too :)

[@YoungSingerLove]

Feta cheese or something similar with nutella or honey also goes well. I like to use a soft kind of feta cheese that is easily spreadable, my favorite way of eating this flavor combo is in crepes: a generous layer of nutella or honey and the cheese pressed down ontop of it, wrap it up and enjoy :D although i also like to just take a spoonful of nutella and place a little feta piece on the spoon and eat it straight

[@TheDolphace]

Cheese and marmalade sandwiches are my favourite. So gooooood. Need a really bitter marmalade for best results, but all are good! Also vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of soysauce. Mmmmmmm

[@marsb7]

TheDolphace grilled cheese with a raspberry marmalade is my personal favorite

[@deprofundis3293]

@@marsb7 mmm like the dipping jam with a Monte Cristo sandwich

[@TehMillionkill]

Gingerbread cookies and blue cheese, do it Edit: Specifically firm but crumbly blue cheese, not too strong. The Finnish Aura-juusto is the most common one in my experience. So don't go for Gorgonzola or Roquefort or anything like that

[@NettanJuni]

My mom loves these, I however can't stand the taste of blue cheese, it taste like mold to me. Brie cheese on gingerbread cookies however is great! Or cream cheese. I tend to like mild flavours :P

Swedes out lingonberry jam on lots of meats so the last one makes sense to me

[@Saphira_29]

In germany we eat this combination a lot as well. Usually with deer or other meat from animals living in the woods. I had it in norway with reindeer as well. I really really like it :)

[@missiesmith949]

You can't go wrong with anything and lingonberry.

[@zsombordonko6459]

I think I've tried eating everything with jam and honestly, I have never been disappointed. It just works. Genius

[@aalborg1995]

I love cucumber slices with salt or ketchup. And vanilla ice cream with salty fries.

[@sklxx7359]

cucumber with soy sauce and/ or vinegar and spicy garlic paste OR cucumber and tomato (without the juicy part) and vinegar and salt with yogurt or kefir ... traditional else where but probably new for the boys

[@AshelinFox]

Ice cream and fries are so good!!! But the fries HAVE to be a little crisp.

[@iwinrar5207]

Ehh id say the icecream with fries has been a thing for ages as people have been doing it with shakes forever...

[@tgrady2570]

@@AshelinFox I actually like a few fries to be limp so that you have to use a spoon to eat it. Just one or two though. And not soaked to the point of beong soggy

[@jean-baptistechopin1799]

Disgusting.

[@rosemoe1495]

Btw for the coffee with citrus zest: if you choose a different bean that already has fruity notes (like a lot of African coffee beans), this effect is enhanced. Also using milks with a higher fat should also offset the higher acidity ^_^

[@lizatonix]

Parmesan and honey is like one of my favorite flavor pairing ever! Every time I get a cheese board that has honey on it I dance like James (maybe not as well.)

[@bethh0225]

Always wanted to try fish fingers and custard but didn’t want to look insane so thanks guys 😀😂❤️

[@matthewmills7988]

i went to italy and had an aged balsamic with vanilla icecream, dont know if its uncommon or anything but it was my first time! and it was really good!

[@perciusmandate]

I know these are slightly more complex pairings but... Fried chicken and waffles with blackberry jam. Also peanut butter on a hamburger with pickles and onion.

[@ricksanchezcc-1736]

Nextralife can confirm peanut butter on on a burger is amazing

[@2012BigPete]

Best burger I've ever had was a peanut butter, strawberry jam, and bacon burger.

[@abominablyawsm]

We have a local restaurant that became known for it's peanut butter burger. Everyone who has tried it loves it.

[@kinkarobotina]

btw: fall is coming, make a hokkaido-pumpkin soup and drizzle the oil and a dollop of cream on the soup before serving. it's so good, you can't believe it if you haven't tried it!

[@SuperNovaArtz]

Love that they mention the ice cream or milkshake with something potatoes. Anyone who's had fries and a Wendy's frosty knows that pairing and that it is so good. Its hot and cold, sweet and salty, bit of crunch with soft ice cream. Its just good.

[@dansurf828]

Hi love the vids I think a good vid idea would be to go to a rural area and compare the food with big city's or do a 3 way compared at 3 different price levels. One place I would recommend is the Scottish Borders. Kelso is a really nice town and I have visited many times. I have always stayed at burnbrea holiday cottages as they are just out of Kelso have an amazing bbq area and because it is self-catering you can eat out for breakfast lunch and dinner

[@agrypniascan92]

young/ green mango dips in fish sauce mix with sugar + chilies. (Tho chilies are optional)

[@edwardshields6691]

When I used to go to Isla Mujeres, Mexico I was introduced to the papaya served on a stick, cross-hatch sliced, and sprinkled with jalapeño pepper powder. It’s wonderful!

[@fobMCRspPATD]

My family does a variation that replaces the fish sauce with light soya sauce

[@TheTrobyyy]

Pumpkin seed oil have so many uses, I can tell you, we use it almost everyday on salads or mixed with some cottage cheese and so on and on and on

[@shanayazaveri2620]

Do you cook in it? Must give some interesting flavours.

[@TheTrobyyy]

@@shanayazaveri2620 yes there is a lkt if uses for it 😄 you can put in bread instead of olive oil and it turns green 😄 that is if you're making white bread and mixed in some pumpkin seeds

Coffee with a bit of salt in it is really great! I know it's used in a lot of cultures around the world and it tastes pretty decent

About coffee and citrus. In Tenerife the local typical coffee is called "barraquito" and has lemon peel in it. Condensed milk, "licor 43" (again, this is made from citrus), coffee, a bit of milk (or cream), milk or cream froth, cinnamon powder and a bit of lemon peel.

I hope the pumpkinseedoil was from Styria, otherwise you just wasted money! It works perfectly with potato salad You guys should do an Austrian week!

Try mixing white miso with softened butter. You can keep a batch in the fridge if you don't just devour it all at once. Try on hot toast, toss with sauteed vegetables, on fish or in noodles. Savoury and buttery goodness. Perhaps not that weird a combo but not everyone might think of it, and the butter tempers the salty fermentation of the miso. Another thing I love is to have avocado sliced on a plate with a little good quality soy sauce and black pepper. Perhaps a squeeze of lemon or lime. So good. In terms of jerky, try Korean galbi jerky if you can find it. It already has a sweet savoury marinade (you will know what I mean if you have had Korean galbi short ribs) so you don't need the jam - it is totally moreish, and is a little softer than the tough jerky styles. Not reminiscent of a UK roast dinner, but really good too. So-called weird flavour combos are funny because every culture has a totally normal combo that makes other people raise eyebrows before trying it. Ripe mango with chili and condensed milk? Yes please. Sausages with curry ketchup? Can be really good (and also bad). Deep fried battered fish with mushy peas and chips....depends - the highs and lows there are totally dramatic.

[@CandiedHurtsickle]

Lol dunno for some reason I always thought pumpkinseed oil ice cream is a standard. 😂 It pretty much became a stable here in Austria, ofc with pumpkin seeds ;)
