My cousin in the US always has peanut butter with bacon but I'm not keen, although she also has peanut butter on celery with raisins and that's nice!

Called 'ants on a log'! And yes, very tasty!

A friend ages ago told me about peanut butter and marmite (or vegemite) sandwiches. He'd had them for so long he thought they were meant to go together and everyone did it. I tried it and thought it was good, not as ace as he made out, but I still make them every so often.

I made a chicken curry from scratch and stirred through a teaspoon of marmalde at the end - a tamarind and mango chutney type substitute.

Chocolate spread in a homemade chilli con carne.

That was a make do and mend approach to relatively common cooking combination.

A ripe banana mashed on top of a thick cut slice of gammon in an all-butter clotted cream scone was not as disgusting nor as brilliant as I anticipated.

Again, pig meat and sweet combo tried out with what I had.

A few weeks ago I looked at my porridge at work, thought it could do with tarting up, "Oo, maybe savoury?" I said to myself, and after experimenting with a dash of strong black coffee, I plopped in some brown sauce as well.

Rank of the highest order. Half a dozen teaspoons down that gunk went straight out to the big wheelie bin outside.

Another one living off the contents of the freezer here.

Tonight:

2 quorn sausages
Potato croquet
breaded mushrooms
broad beans
with french dressing drizzled over the top

Surprisingly tasty

Sliced new potato sandwiches (spread with butter of course) are very, very nice :T

Tinned mushy peas (marrowfat peas without mint) are a surprisingly good accompaniment to curry. Call it Yorkshire Dahl perhaps?

Syman

McDonalds chips dipped into vanilla shake.

(don't knock it till you've tried it!)

:rotfl:And then there is that great South African dish Boboti - best described as curried mince and custard. In reality the custard is like the topping on Moussaka..

a bit off topic - many years ago my mum was in Kenya, staying with a Kenyan family in their home. They were having chicken and veg for the evening meal and her hosts asked if she could show them how to serve it like an English dinner. they all watched with interest as she proceeded to make gravy (she had taken a pot of marmite and used this in the gravy) the family's young son was fascinated by the idea of this strange English 'brown custard' with chicken. anyway the 'brown custard' was a hit and the following morning the young lad was up early and could not wait to get to school and tell all his classmates. mum left the marmite as part of her thankyou gift.
