New Thread: Name Two (or more) ingredients that should NEVER be in the same recipe (must be T& T)

(in this case T & T would have to mean "Tried & Terrible)

Popped corn in Brownies...

as a college student, I had no walnuts. However a trip to the dentist ensued. Dang things hardened back up like the original kernels.

Sauerkraut & coconut extract...Can you say "Early Weight Watchers?)

 

[angak]

OMG, some of those early WW recipes were so awful!

 

[angak]

Chocolate and Lemon. I just can't do those together. I know there is a lemon brownie recipe, but

I just can't bring myself to try it.

Bananna and tempura batter...

I may be cheating on this one, but I hate banannas, and I am always on the lookout for where people hide them. I was eating some tempura at a little Japanese restaurant in San Diego, when I took a bite, and it was a bananna in tempura batter. Please never let me experience that dilemna again. I swallowed it whole. Acccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

 

[marilynfl]

No? You're making that up.

 

[marilynfl]

Please, tell me you made that one up.

 

[luisa_calif]

Sadly, I'm not. whenever I get too big for my baking britches, I remind myself of the trap

that Early Weight Watchers set for the cooking/dieting hostage...Suffice it to say that NO AMOUNT of "rinsing off with water" will remove the sauerkraut taste. Adding coconut extract to this will NOT make it taste "just like coconut"

 

[luisa_calif]

but it sounded like a good idea...I guess that is only if you like bananas.

 

[marilynfl]

If tempura batter is what Indian restaurants use, I LOVE these!

 

[cynupstateny]

I thought the same, Ang. Then I made the Black and White Banana Loaf that Meryl posted. Wonderful!

Your "out of walnuts" just reminded me of one that I have been able to block for years...

my husband while we were dating, was trying to make me a grasshopper (since that was the only liquor he had in the house) and was out of ice cream, cream and even milk. So he tried substituting another white ingredient that you can find in most U.S. refrigerators; mayonnaise. Accckkkkkkkkk!

Spinach and Chocolate

There was an Italian torte (it was called "Old Shoe" in Italian--that should have been my first clue) posted in Gail's about 10 years ago that contained, among many things I've long forgotten, spinach and chocolate. It sounded so bizarre I had to try it. Even my quite adventurous palate was shocked. I rarely throw food away that I've just made, but I made an exception with this one.

ewwwwwww.......

 

[cheezz]

well at least he gets points for trying (and creativity)!

 

[cheezz]

ground beef and cinnamon... yeah, I know, there are LOTS of ethnic dishes with this but... yuck!

 

[luisa_calif]

I am making that right NOW! Greek stuffed eggplant. I'm using beef but it was better with lamb.
