We all have different taste buds. Some foods we love and some, we hate.
Some foods go great together like a good ham and cheese sandwich or chicken and mash. It's just a given.
But reddit user Lfluffy has posed the question to the true food professionals - chefs - on what foods work well together that that we wouldn't normally think of combining.
Don't knock it before you try it, they say.
We took a look at some of the answers of weird food combos that "actually work", and well, we don't quite know how we feel about it...
1. Watermelon, mozzarella and reduced balsamic vinegar
Reddit user Just1morefix says that it works, and you might think why would we put fruit, cheese and vinegar together? Since it was posted it has gained over 580 upvotes and claims that, "it sounds weird as hell but it is delicious."
2. Fried chicken with syrup and waffles
Do you love sweet and fried food? Well Thrownaway_4_2_day claims that it all works like magic together, although it really doesn't sound like it. Guess we have to give it a try (if we are that brave).
3. Cinnamon sugar...on pizza
We all love pizza. After the cinnamon challenge did its rounds, not everyone loves cinnamon. Actinglead claims that the two work as an tasty weird food combination saying that, "it has an awesome mix of sweet and and salty". We really don't know.
4. Bacon wrapped oreos
Chocolate lovers rejoice! Well, maybe. Greasy, crispy bacon with a soft chocolate centre? Maybe some would be willing to try this one out.
This is one that is quite common to some. From personal experience you wouldn't think that it works but it does quite well. Known as Kalimotxo, trumpsnorthernwall says that chefs drink it in the kitchen with cheap cooking wine. It was said to originally get rid of bad or sour wine with equal parts coke and wine on ice.
6. Fish fingers and custard
It's hard to even imagine without shuddering. It sounds like a kid's dinner gone wrong.
Nivzamora says that it works together and others have jumped in with other suggestions with strawberries. Apparently balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper work too. It's worth a try.
8. Bananas and duck
Some will go 'quackers' for this, rr90013 declares.
