If you haven't tried this combination, you would assume that salt will dry up the watery, sweet flavor of the watermelon. The exact opposite, though, is true. Apparently, a dash of salt can actually improve the taste of the watermelon's inherent sweetness!

This may be our favorite strange food pairing on the list! The combination of sweet jam and brie's complex flavor profile that goes well with both sweet and savory flavors is divine!

Prosciutto with melon is a traditional Italian appetizer that combines sweet and salty flavors gracefully. Both the food and the presentation are lovely and colorful. Though cantaloupe is the most common melon used, we believe honeydew would complement it just as well.

Strawberries served with balsamic vinegar provide a unique, gourmet touch to this beautiful summer fruit. Apparently, it's a popular ice cream and milkshake flavor in fancy restaurants! (Haven't been to one, so can't confirm.)

The pairing of sweet and savory flavors just naturally complements one another. Give this odd meal combo a try the next time you're in the mood for something a bit unusual!

Creamy butter spread over a hot slice of toasted fresh bread is yum-my and can stand for a quick, on-the-go snack. But with sugar? Though unusual, we can see the potential of this white bread, butter, and sugar combo as a spin on traditional French toast.

Right, so apparently, one of our morning staples is considered an odd food combination! And honestly, the pairing of creamy and sour cottage cheese with acidic and sweet pineapple is superb. But we also don't mind pineapple on pizza, which explains things.

Interestingly, if someone randomly suggested this combo to us, we would be dubious. On the other hand, if we saw it on a fancy restaurant's menu, we would be instantly drawn to try it out. Not sure why, but that's the truth.

Honestly, popcorn and marshmallows sound like a delicious combination, especially given how much we love these delights separately!

The latest fad in healthy breakfasts consists of plain Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and chopped fresh fruit. But sour cream? Honestly, using sour cream instead of Greek yogurt doesn't appear to be a wild substitution, given that the two have virtually comparable flavors.

Since strawberry is a popular garnish for alcoholic beverages, we don't find this pairing weird, though definitely unusual. Apparently, it's also a thing to soak watermelon cubes in champagne for about 24 hours and then have those served with chopped mint. Actually sounds rather appealing for summer!

Apple pie with cheese has a long history. Perhaps you love it. Perhaps you hate it. Maybe you’ve never tried it. Still, it is so adored that many people believe the classic dessert would be incomplete without it!

This unusual pairing of flavors may support the cliche that opposites attract. We are not saying to drizzle your filet mignon with blueberries. However, reducing blueberries by also adding balsamic vinegar and sugar might result in a jaw-dropping steak sauce.

To discover this combo, one must have accidentally dropped their fry in the ice cream and thought, “damn, that’s actually good!” And although you may be ordering those separately, you have definitely eaten them simultaneously. Well, we did. Solid 8/10.

We don't simply mean ordering the two things together. No, many recipes actually combine the two, with the meat being marinated in a Bloody Mary-like concoction. Apparently, the delicious drink tenderizes the beef perfectly and infuses the steak with rich flavor.

Whoever came up with this — who hurt you?

Drizzling Salsa Valentina on salted popcorn in Mexico is as normal as pouring butter over it. Popcorn, like chips and tortillas, is also made of corn making it a suitable combination with hot sauce.

How is that a weird food combination? A glass of wine with popcorn epitomizes an ideal movie night! Even better if you are watching a chick flick. Honestly, they should offer this combo in movie theatres.

Fans of pineapple on pizza, this one is for you. Much like the latter, the pizza's savory flavors go nicely with the strawberries' sweetness; hence the two complement each other really well.

Excuse us... what? Don't think we have ever seen the words chocolate and beets being used in a single sentence, let alone as a combined dish! Though apparently, some people swear by this combo, claiming that the earthy flavor of beets pairs amazingly well with the taste of chocolate to produce a rich, moist, and delicious treat.

Though unusual, it isn't necessarily weird, isn't it? In fact, using pizza crust instead of bread is not a bad idea. Definitely not more nutritional, but potentially more delicious!

Honestly, looks delicious, and the word "weird" simply doesn't fit the majesty of mac n' cheese, whether served with or without the Doritos.

This sounds like a pairing that would result in stomach pain and diarrhea. This combination, made popular by Lindsay Lohan's recent Christmas commercial for Pepsi, soon went viral, and, apparently, Pilk (Pepsi + milk) is now a thing.

Ok, cherry blossoms are flowers, so flower-infused potato chips have the potential to smell lovely, but to taste nice? We want to believe this was a manufacturing mistake, but we can't wrap our heads around what could have led to this.

Sesame seeds are often associated with McDonald's buns, but sesame is incredibly adaptable, which is why there are so many ideas for sesame and chocolate treats! And honestly, this is a simple yet delightful flavor combination that you didn't realize you needed. Even Lindt, pioneers in all things chocolate, offers a chocolate bar with sesame!

Though it doesn't look very IG-worthy, we see why this could have some potential. We also can understand why someone would absolutely despise this combination.

Yes, combining popcorn and milk is a thing. Apparently, historical cues imply that the precursor to what we now know as cold breakfast cereal was popcorn and milk with sugar sprinkled on top!

Although it might initially seem like a bad idea, red wine and Coca-Cola combine surprisingly well. You'll be pleasantly surprised after you give it a try!

Mango with chili powder is another popular Mexican concoction as commonplace as drizzling spicy sauce over popcorn. Pretty much every fruit vendor in Mexico will offer you fresh mango dashed with lime juice and chili powder.

It turns out that during the 1930s through the 1960s, the Great Depression played a significant role in the popularity of the peanut butter and mayo sandwich. For many households in the South, the combination of peanut butter and mayonnaise was an affordable, calorie-dense option. Surprisingly, many people enjoy this unusual sandwich combination to this day!

Honestly, this seems quite promising! Given how popular creative burger buns are at the moment, it would not surprise us that sweet bread and a warm cinnamon glaze would go nicely with a juicy burger.

Apparently, potato donuts are a thing, and ostensibly, those are delicious. And because we love potatoes and donuts on their own, we are optimistic (and praying) that this actually tastes good.

Apparently, this is a local specialty in Valle del Cocora, Spain. And yes, you do have to put the slices of cheese into the cup.

Apparently, some claim that these taste almost just like traditional brownies but with the added benefits of being somewhat more nutritionally balanced and gluten-free.

Since cheese and peanut butter are traditional sandwich toppings, you may make a sandwich combining the flavors of two famous sandwiches. Apparently, it's a match made in heaven. But is it really? Let us know in the comments!

If you've considered pairing strawberries with balsamic vinegar, strawberries and basil make an equally delicious combo. Several recipes combine strawberries with basil, and the two also make for a refreshing summer drink!

Something might be wrong with our taste buds, but they are thrilled by the idea of combining Flamin' Hot Cheetos and whipped cream cheese together! This combo works, though we're not sure why.

You'll enjoy avocado with honey if you enjoy butter and honey or peanut butter and honey on toast or biscuits!

This one is for those times when you feel like adding a little extra something to your grilled cheese, but all you have is a banana that is about to go brown. Definitely one of the strangest variations of sweet and salty.

What are the odds you would find Flamin' Hot Cheetos and broccoli on the same plate at a high-end restaurant? Apparently, this unique meal combination is served at Chef Koketsu's Park Avenue restaurant in New York City.

In many Slavic countries and numerous places worldwide, the rice, shashlik, and ketchup combo is enjoyed quite frequently, especially in the summer when the shashlik season is officially open.

Surprisingly, it's not bad. In fact, it's quite good! Perhaps not something one would opt to have on a regular basis, but it tastes way better than expected!

We've already established that peanut butter is versatile and goes with many things. Apparently, some really enjoy their PB sandwiches with a slice of mango on top. Again, to each their own!

Every fast food chain has a "secret" sauce for its burgers, often made of mayo, ketchup, and various seasonings. And considering how popular the ketchup and ranch combo is, potentially, ranch could be the secret ingredient to some of the recipes!

While guacamole and avocado toast first come to mind when you think of avocados, apparently, they also go nicely with sweet foods. Chocolate is a great example!

Definitely sounds like one of those downright bizarre preggo cravings! Fun fact, there's a pregnancy-focused cookbook called "Pickles and Ice Cream"! Still, we're not here to judge since we do enjoy an ice cream & fries combo!

This list is testing our open-mindedness and rationality because we would have never imagined that a combination like this even existed and even more that it could work. Apparently, it does for some people, but we're torn on this one.

If you didn't know, your beloved waffles could be served with Nutella OR pasta sauce. Although the latter may seem like an odd pairing, apparently, some actually prefer this combo.
