I used to sauté up frozen corn in butter with garlic and paprika. Right about when it's done, throw in some cilantro. Fuck. I want some now. I had to stop eating it, it was causing problems I was eating too much.

A Puerto Rican coworker turned me onto hot chocolate with cheese in it. I believe the traditional method is basically just to put some cheese in the cup and you end up with a melted glob of cheese to eat with a spoon as/after you drink it. I've played around with that as well as actually incorporating the cheese into the drink itself, melting it all together on the stove.
Kind of gets you some of that well-tested sweet/salty/savory combo. I dig it in a Mexican hot chocolate with some cinnamon and chili powder.
I believe the traditional cheese is edam, I've tried that as well as cheddar and a few other cheeses, they all seemed to work pretty well, try it at your own risk if you go for anything too funky
I do not eat this anymore, but when I ate animal products I would order pizza with hot chilis and I'd put honey on top.
As a kid, I used to dip pretzel sticks in applesauce. Just another sweet+salty combo, I suppose.
Ham and cream corn
I had a cherry chutney hamburger at a restaurant somewhere in Missouri. I ordered it because I thought it was a weird combo. IT WAS DELICIOUS.
Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The sweet and tangy go sooooo well together!
I just had Mac n cheese with green Chile and meatballs. I liked it 👍
Ice cream on a hot dog. Just plain vanilla ice cream, on an all beef hot dog in a bun. Some chocolate fudge on top if you like.
Chocolate and chili pepper. Sounds weird, but spicy chocolate is hella good.
I was equally surprised with how good the short-lived limited time Spicy Skittles were. They should bring those back. 🤤
They sell chocolate bars that have chili in it. Though some are better than others. But generally always better than like, Hershey
I don't know anyone who does this, but I love putting barbecue chips on cheese and mustard sandwiches. Same with spicy chips.
BBQ chips on a sandwich is an excellent way to up your sando game
Hot beer with honey
Roasted peanuts goes good with most salty foods. Crush and sprinkle it on top of some beef or chicken for a nice, tasty crunch.
Cinnamon raisin bagel. Toasted with some thick slices of aged cheddar and a nice hotsauce. I like valentina, but siracha is good too.
Honey and white cheese on a pancake. Honey by itself might be too sweet - the cheese (especially if it's a bit more salty) balances that out nicely.
Ho yeah that reminds me of spicy honey on cheesy pizzas… maybe my best memory from l.a.
It's not something for me now that I'm older but I use to love putting ketchup on mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I know mac and cheese with it is somewhat common.
Also potatoes on a hamburger is really good. If you do a cheese burger it might take some trial and error on getting the right cheese. I myself like fresh shredded American. Don't use cheap ingredients though! This is the 1 thing I wouldn't cheap out on.
I've had a "Breakfast Burger" with a fried egg, shredded hash browns, bacon, and sausage gravy.
Probably took 6 months off my life, but it was delicious!
Pickles and anything
Pickles and more pickles
French fries with vinegar. Ok, not unusual if you’re British, but delicious even if you aren’t.
I am the only one in my family who likes vinegar on fries.
I do prefer apple cider vinegar over regular vinegar, but I'm more than happy to slather any available vinegar I can on.
Why the fuck did we colonise 90% of the world if you're not putting vinegar on chips? Did we teach you nothing?
I discovered the vinegar as a condiment with vinegar salt potato chips. Then I found out the fries. Sooooo good.
Cheese and jam
Cheese and marmalade, the sharper both are the better. Mmm.
Cheese and honey
Best crepe I ever had. I like to make them with gouda and hot honey. Goats cheese and normal honey also slaps.
Marshmallows on regular pizza. Salty and sweet is so nice.
Not sure whether it's unusual, but at least it took many years to be introduced to combining any chocolate dessert with red wine.
The richer the better
