Mixing sweet foods with savory foods (ex: fruit glazes on meat or dipping a french fry into a milkshake). Criminal or delicious?
If delicious, what is a combo you like?
I like Hawaiian pizza every now and then.
Chinese sweet and sour chicken/pork/shrimp (there's really nothing sour about it). A mix of sweet and savory that I really like.
Cantaloupe and prosciutto.
I had never really thought about it before, but you're right, sweet and sour sauce isn't very sour. Maybe it depends on the recipe and sometimes it can be a little tangy.
Speaking of Chinese food I like crab rangoon which I guess is another example of sweet and savory together.
I love Crab Rangoon, it’s a
MUST if we order Chinese takeout.
Not many people like Pineapple on a Pizza, but I'm all for it
shareI simply prefer "savory", though I do dab into honey-mustard sauce from time to time.
shareLove me some Chicken McNuggets with honey-mustard sauce!
shareOoooh Weeeee!!!
shareI am a great lover of Chicken McNuggets and if I'm not eating them plain, I like them with plain honey. Maybe I like more sweet and savory combinations than I thought. 🤔
shareI'm starting to consider the only reason for your OP post is to make everyone so hungry! lol
shareI am kinda wishing I had some Chicken McNuggets right about now.
shareI'm the same. If I had to pick between sweet and savory, I would choose savory.
shareA fruit glaze on meat can be good, dipping a french fry into a milkshake is just vomit. Just like pineapple on a pizza.
shareI'm glad someone agrees with me on french fries and milkshakes! When my husband first introduced the concept to me years ago I thought it was just some weird thing he did but then I learned it was a "thing".
shareI'm certainly more of a savoury person but I do prefer chocolate with something salty, like chocolate pretzels, or potato chips.
shareUnfortunately I can't have milk chocolate or dark chocolate, but I can have white chocolate and I do love me some white chocolate covered pretzels.
I came into this thread fully prepared to say that I thought it was criminal to combine sweet and savory but I keep finding examples that are delicious. 😂 I've been fooling myself all these years!
