Lebanese People Are Sharing Their Weird Food Combos, And You Might Actually Be Down For It
As kids, we came up with weird food combos that somehow stayed with us into adulthood.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that your favorite, yet bizarre-sounding, food combos you grew up eating that made perfect sense to you are a little strange to others.
Popular vlogger Guide.lb asked people on the streets their weirdest mixes and here’s what they said:
1. Salt And Vinegar Chips Dipped In Labneh
Starting strong with tangy Salt and Vinegar chips paired with a side of creamy Labneh .
There's no surprise here; we can all agree that this is the ultimate movie night snack combo!
2. Halloumi Or Feta Cheese And Watermelon
Rich cheese and juicy watermelon: mouthwatering summer snack.
3. Zaatar Manoushe And Ketchup
This combo holds a special place in my heart, but some people react as if I insulted our entire Lebanese lineage by adding ketchup to our traditional Zaatar Manoushe .
An absolute flavor powerhouse in my book! Does anyone else agree?
4. Flavored Pringles And Nutella
Reasoning: Sweet and salty. Understandable.
Taste: Bizarre... but good?
Cons: Sticky hands. Mom will be paying the price trying to clean the thick Nutella spread off her silverware.
5. Scrambled Eggs With Ketchup
The great eggs and ketchup debate: You either grew up with it or you think it's barbaric.
Our opinion: this combination strikes us as something a five-year-old would do.
6. Dipping A Picon Sandwich In Tea Or Orange Juice
We're not sure about the taste, but the texture of soggy bread? Absolutely not. Just... no.
7. Warak Enab And Honey
If Lebanese Tetas knew about this pairing, they might just faint on the spot.
This unconventional clash of flavors is a sin!
8. Mortadella Paired With Strawberry Jam
We all know that a turkey sandwich with a slather of cranberry jam is delicious, so why not switch it up with mortadella and strawberry jam?
9. Nutella And Cheese Manoushe Or Crepe
At first, I was skeptical too, BUT think about it: we adore chocolate, and we relish cheese. It just feels natural to combine them.
Could you not knock it till you try it?
10. Fig Jam And Olives
Taking two Lebanese Mouneh staples and creating a gourmet appetizer: honey-sweet figs and salty, briny olives combo sound delicious!
