Remember the reasoning behind dipping your french fries in a Wendy's Frostee - salty and sweet as a taste combo?
Well, Jo chimed in with another salty-sweet combo:
Chocolate ice cream or chocolate marshmallow sundae, with potato chips!
Now, Jo, I was trying to be nice and find you a picture of that somewhere out there on the internet, to use with this post.
However. Nowhere on the entire World Wide Web do I find a picture that comes close.
I think that makes you unique! :)
All right, I'm still taking submissions. What are your sweet and salty combos?
Well, it isn't anything special, but my favorite sweet/salty munchy is pretzels and chocolate milk. Together. Chewing at the same time. There IS a technique, of course, but I'm not telling anyone. Yum.
Adriane reminded me of another of my favorites. Jiffy extra crunchy peanut butter on a Ritz with a glass of ice cold chocolate milk. And the chocolater the better.
Adriane--do you dip the pretzels in the chocolate milk? Or do you put the chocolate on the pretzel, then into the milk? Inquiring minds want to know.
I was 'reunited' with another one of my favorite salty-sweet combos yesterday...dropping pretzel bits in my glass of Pepsi. The fizz is great and the Pepsi soaked pretzel bits are a pleasant ending to a great drink.
You have got to try Nature Valleys "sweet & salty nut granola bars." My favorite is Cashew. The description reads: "dipped in cashew butter coating bursting with cashews." They are also available in peanut and I think almond. Do yourself a favor and go get some!
Those are great!!! I also think that the cashew are the best. I found those a while back before we left the US. Thanks for adding to my wish list I have to send my Dad!
What? No pic of chips and ice cream?
Must be a York County thing.
As a matter of fact, I know it is.
Personally, my favorite is Martin's BBQ (waffle cut, of course) potato chips dipped in vanilla ice cream....mmmmmm
My grandpa used to drop a few salted peanuts into his bottle of Pepsi.
And in Mexico, salt and lime are common additions to beer or soda pop.
When I went to Guadalajara a few years ago to visit my wife's relatives, I bought a Squirt citrus soda on the street. The vendor asked, "Con sal?" (don't know how to make upside down question mark...)
I said yes.
Had to dump the whole thing out. Nasty.
