Odd food combos-- anybody?

For example, since I gave up all sugar a few years ago, my taste for sweet foods have become very sensitized; there are even some fruits (mostly the hybridized version) that are way too sweet for me.
But, I have developed a taste for 'weird' food combinations (well, "weird" by SAD standards, I guess). Just tonight, I steamed some brussel sprouts, mixing them with some raw sauerkraut, topped with a dab of organic brown mustard... perfection! But then I decided to swipe some very soft, fresh prunes through the mustard-- wow: spicy, sweet... Good stuff. Also, another favorite is carrots with a bit of raw miso; crunchy, sweet, salty. Sometimes I will mix in a handful of raw sunflower seeds... I mean, I actually crave this stuff. Weird? Re: Odd food combos-- anybody?

Sometimes I put shoyu soy sauce on avocado's and... watermelon. I think its just because I like how salt compliments both of those fruits. Re: Odd food combos-- anybody?

I like smushed up raw eggplant, especially with whole pieces of the eggplant skin (the best part), mixed up with tomato, cucumber, a bit of hot pepper, some sprouted kamut, and some avocado and lemon juice. I'm also really starting to like homemade fermented mixed veggies: cabbage, carrot, kale (yum!), and cauliflower, with grated ginger and minced garlic. Re: Odd food combos-- anybody?

Date: June 14, 2010 05:25AM mustard, and saurkraut is kindve a classic combination within the SAD, both sweet and spicy mustards, or normal ones...usually on top of polish dogs, or Reubens.
Sweet and salty been around forever, my dad has put salt on his watermelon since he was a kid... I dont like it on watermelon, but I love it in some other combinations... hmmm, the pineapple and nut butter seems like the only unusual combo ive seen listed so far,lol... weirdest raw food ive made, isnt all that weird I think, but I made a banana pineaple smoothie (with about a half a bunch of kale in it,7-10 leaves depending on how big they are) and a teaspoon of cinnamon, Ive had much weirder non-vegan foods, aren't exactly part of the standard american diet either,lol...
