Boil up some ramen noodles, drain all the liquid and discard the flavor pack. Add a can of Hormel No Beans Chili and a few table spoons of Cheez Whiz. Heat up the chili and cheez. A few decades after I first concocted this, I found out that Ohio has restaurants that basically sell this same thing (Skyline and Goldstar).

Peanut butter on bread as a side to chili (con carne).

Slice of bread and table syrup (not maple syrup). Super quick, sweet snack. I call it the poor man’s pancake.

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are way better than they have any right to be.

Got to be no sugar varieties of both ingredients.

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.

I'm a big fan of blue cheese:

• Water cracker, soft blue cheese, and a bit of hot (spicy) honey drizzled on top.
• Ramen with blue cheese crumbles melted into the broth.
• Avocado toast with blue cheese crumbles.

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.

Not sure whether it's unusual, but at least it took many years to be introduced to combining any chocolate dessert with red wine.

Pizza rolls dipped in French onion chip dip.

pretzel, salami and nutella

Okay I have a secret recipe from when I was a kid.

Brioche + cheddar slice + hamburger (the frozen kind)

The sweetness of the brioche makes the recipe, it's also super easy to make, pop the meat in a microwave for a couple minutes and it's ready to assemble.

BLP. Bacon Lettuce Peanut butter. It's like a BLT, but I hate tomatoes.

Cheese and jam

As a kid, I used to dip pretzel sticks in applesauce. Just another sweet+salty combo, I suppose.

Peanut butter, jelly, salami, and giardiniera.
