Food is a nutritious substance humans need to eat to live and grow. Over the past decades, multiple foods have been discovered and invented to make the recipes we have today, such as pizza, tacos, butter chicken, salads, clam chowder, and more. These dishes have started as experimental combinations of foods before becoming a widely known popular dish. It has gone through the phase of being called “weird” before it became “normal”. Many students have shared combinations of foods they eat that a majority of people would think is weird.
First, I asked senior, Braylee Pierce, she responded with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with pickles. When asked how she discovered this, Braylee responded by seeing the recipe while watching a youtube video. Normally, she does not like the taste or texture of peanut butter but decided to try this combination out. Surprisingly, she enjoyed the weird combination and ate it more afterwards. She suggests other people try this weird food combination too.
Similarly, senior Emma Hildebrand, also eats pickles with peanut butter. She likes the balance between the sweet taste of the peanut butter and the crunchy texture of the pickle. In short, she describes this combination as a sweet and tangy snack. Emma thinks people should taste her weird food combination and not to judge it before trying it.
Senior, Brody Hillis has an interesting food combination of chips in sandwiches that brings a crunchy, savory twist to the meal. He uses any type of chips in any type of sandwich. This weird combination has been passed down from his dad when he was little. Brody thinks people would like it if they tried it.
Senior, Ava Hubner had two weird food combinations to share. She eats salt and vinegar flavored chips with cream cheese. She had an impulse to try this combination out and ended up liking it. Ava compares the snack to chips and guacamole. It has the same consistency of crunchy mixed with soft. The salt and vinegar flavored chips have an overpowering flavor with an essence of the cream cheese. Another combination is ice cream with honey. Ava loves honey and eats it with almost any type of food, but this combination is one of her favorites. In fact, her dad recommended this combination to her. When asked what kind of ice cream to eat with honey, Ava says any kind of ice cream tastes good with it, and she hopes other people try this out.
Out of some of the weird food combinations I personally eat, one of them is toast with mashed avocado and crushed uncooked ramen noodles on top. I like the savory and crunchy combination. I discovered this by randomly mixing different foods together one day. It may sound weird at first, but it is an enjoyable snack. I think people should try it out.

Everyone has different taste buds and their own opinions on food. Adventure out and try these weird food combinations recommended by some of the seniors of Lewis Cass. You never know, it could be your next favorite thing.
