If I'm not mistaken, the soy sauce caramel that you're describing is a popular sauce for glutinous rice balls in Japan. That snack/sweet is called mitarashi dango
@ahoodedfigure1430 and sugar. Iirc its the same sauce used to coat teriyaki meat? So it helps balance the soy sauce which,appears to be what was ruining the ice cream experience for them.
In South East Asia you dip sour unripe fruits in a salty chili powder, I always assumed that combination was normal. Interesting to see them try with salt and pepper here
I love this style of video. It would be fun to see the inverse of this, where you give the normals finished/combined foods and have them work out the pairing.
Immediately ran downstairs and tried the apple with salt and pepper. BRILLIANT! I became allergic to potatoes a few years ago and have been missing potato chips/crisps desperately. This works!!!🤯 Thanks guys!!!! ❤🥔❤
I saw someone roast radishes like you'd roast potatoes in the regular oven 'til they're done and then for a few minutes in the airfryer to make them more crispy.
@@OneWeekTime Thanks for the suggestions! Much appreciated! Just potatoes, I'm afraid. I have tried sweet potato chips and a few different veg-based chips (beets included 😋), and while delicious, I was still looking for that unique potato chip experience. However, this apple with S and P combo really clicked with me! I used a Macintosh apple. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it. *chef's kiss*
Indonesian here, Mike pronunciation of Jus Alpukat is actually spot on For the Jus Alpukat recipe as far as I know most of the seller who sell it doesn't use any coffee in it. Instead they drizzle some chocolate condense milk on the wall of the glass, that's why the color is darker when you mix it. And I think it is work as a drink because as far as I know there is no savory meal that use avocado in Indonesian cuisine, so we doesn't really associate avocado as a savory ingredient
In the juice stalls all around my city it’s quite common to ask the seller to add a sachet of instant coffee in your Jus Alpukat though.. but maybe it’s just regional thing
I've had it with coffee in it, sans chocolate, but at an Indonesian restaurant here in NYC. The owner said she had grown up drinking it, but as Leva said, maybe it's regional. Not sure exactly where in Indonesia she was from.
In my household, we always use coffee or mocha with our avocado and condensed milk, also usually we don't blend them, so we still have avocado texture there. I believe it's influenced by my Mom and Grandma who are from Ternate. But yeah most of the time they don't put coffee in for Jus Alpukat.
Since this was a normals only episode (unless the chefs were there behind the camera) I would love to see them cook/bake something using these combos and see what the chefs think of it with no info going in
In India it's pretty common to pair fruits with spices like Aamchoor ( powdered raw mango), salt, pepper we have an entire recipe called fruit chaat and it's divine !!!
Yeah I've cooked pork with green apples and just use salt and pepper. It was one of my great, great grandmother's recipes (maybe older but she wrote it down)
Pork chops and applesauce is a classic from childhood. I've done it with a chunkier homemade savoury applesauce. Onions boiled down with the apples, salt and pepper, maybe a but of something else for a hint of spice. Some herbs might work, but savoury applesauce is great.
Jamie's expression with the Marmite was priceless. Would love to see more of these. How about trying mint and peanut butter or mint and peanuts? Back in the day I used to put peanut butter chocolate candies and chocolate mint bar pieces in with ice cream and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I personally love to eat sour apple or under-ripe mango with salt+chilli powder, also banana with peanut butter. In certain parts of Indonesia, we also eat pisang goreng (deep-fried plantain) with sambal 😋
Balsamic (either a reduction, or the real, proper expensive stuff) on vanilla or strawberry icecream is delicious. Also a few years ago over here in Australia, Cadbury made a Vegemite chocolate that was weirdly good. It did the salted caramel thing mostly, but also enhanced the funk that vegemite has. I reckon the right amount of marmite will probably have the same effect, but i dont know what the ratio would... Probably only a tiny amount.
Balsamic glaze is the best way to get some kind of value from those strawberries and peaches you get at the supermarket that look better than they taste.
This but with a twist. For example a desert course using fermented products or a breakfast using strong spices. Maybe not as far as natto and icecream, but I could see odd pairings like fish fingers and sweet custard working (thank you Doctor Who for the idea. It's delicious). Or maybe very tart or astringent fruits in a savory dish.
I went into this looking at new flavor pairs, but I gotta say, i'm more interested in the fact that I never knew what "bubblegum _flavoring"_ actually was before this! So you're telling me that that sweet classic taste is actually a little bit of everything, including the most popular gum flavors? I can't believe it has banana, pineapple, cinnamon, and *cloves* of all things! I can see why the wintergreen, but you never really taste it...
That might have been that specific bubblegum drink. I think the 'bubblegum flavour' is a type of aromatic esther, 'cause you can synthesize bubblegum flavour rather straightforwardly. That's where it came from- someone in a lab was mixing stuff together, thought a chemical smelled nice, figured out it wasn't toxic, and used it as a flavouring.
I have a one-pan baked dinner with chicken and apples I use on my weekends, so I definitely already knew the salt/pepper combo worked really nicely with the apples. I also just really love oddball food combos that don't seem like they should work on paper to begin with so I actively seek these out when I can for something new and punchy.
What an outstanding video from you three. Very nice to see these combinations in action, would never have tested it myself. :) Many greetings from Germany.
I started putting sea salt on orange slices earlier this year and it is unexpectedly delicious and refreshing, especially on a hot day. I'm going to have to try adding pepper now.
Vanilla ice cream and pumpkin seed oil is the elevated, tastier version of that soy sauce combo! It’s a pretty popular combination in Austria and tastes AMAZING!
From watching these guys for years, it's a joy. Does seem like chefs are just skill, experience, and the knowledge of how things taste and where to use them. Well cool.
Missed opportunity to say “Hello!” in a loop like in the good ole days. Also, excited to see new flavour combos. Happy Wednesday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!
I love the Sorted community, this video was really interesting and entertaining but then I spent quite a while surfing the comments because they’re entertainment in themselves!!!
Loved this guys! Now take your scientific findings and prepare a perfectly balanced dish for Ebbers. May I suggest a sundae with coffee avocado ice cream, caramelized bubblegum bacon, and marmite sauce, he'd love that! 😆
Great Show! Really enjoyed this one and the crazy combinations were a first for me. Might try the bubblegum and bacon, two of my favourite flavours!! I had an idea for a format and i'm not sure if this has been done yet, but it would be nice for the 'normals' to get blind folded, eat a dish from start to finish, then recreate it without having seen it at all and they have to come as close to the dish they ate as possible. Thanks for the show guys!
Vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame oil is also a weird but amazing combo!!!! The nuttiness of the sesame oil pairs well with the sweet, creamyness of the ice cream
One of the strangest things I've seen people do ( I have tried it, didn't like it) was crumble "Cool Ranch" Doritos over chocolate ice cream. It's a thing in certain areas of the Southern United States, people argue over how much to crumble the Doritos (powder, or still a little bit chunky), if the spicy Doritos are better... it's something to try, anyway.
When I was a kid in the 1950s - 1960s I remember my grandfather putting salt and pepper on his watermelon. When I mentioned it to another family member later, I was told, "Nobody does that!" But the memory is very clear, and this video confirms that I saw what I saw.
Dill Pickle and peanut butter is an amazing combo. I also love peanut butter on a grilled cheese, or with and apple or banana. The sweet salty pairs with so much
I've had soy sauce flavoured soft serve ice cream in Japan a few times around tourist attractions. Some of the bigger vendors will have all sorts of flavours like wasabi, macha, sesame etc. In my experience they do taste just like vanilla ice cream with the added flavours and they work really well!
Slices of unripe green mango or jicama (singkamas) + sauteed shrimp paste and Champorado (chocolate rice porridge) + cooked dried salted fish (either dried anchovies (dilis) or dried sardines (tuyo))
I personally love fresh jalapeño on a salted butter frosted sticky dark chocolate brownie! Something about the spice with the butter sweetness! I don’t know if others do this but it’s my favorite homemade dessert!
One of my all time favorite apple snacks is taking a green apple and slicing it into thin but wide strips and adding cracked black pepper, balsamic glaze, and feta! One of the best combos!
I love that you guys actually talk about flavour profiles and try and train viewers' palettes and brains to consider what they're eating -- rather than just saying "OMG THIS IS AMAZING DELICIOUS MUST EAT" or "OMG DISGUSTING GROSS TIKTOK TREND HORRIBLE". While I do think elements of clickbait have crept in to the channel over time, that is probably inevitable in a competitive enviroment. You deserve to be commended for how considered this video is. Great watch!
9:14 with my mom I've eaten a "salad" quite often over the last 15-ish years, consisting of green apples and celery (both leaves and stem) with a basic vinaigrette (pepper, salt, vinegar, olive oil) and it's grean, so it totally makes sense to me that works
Jamie talked about the candied Bacon with peanut butter sauce. But as a kid, we would eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. It was just normal American Bacon with a medium amount of peanut butter on the bread. It had that savory but creamy and slightly sweet taste, it is very tasty.
HI! Indonesian subscriber here 🙋🏻♀️ When I saw the coffee and avocado combo, I knew right away it would work and I got so excited you were inspired by one of our drinks! Just want to clarify a bit.. Jus alpukat literally translates to avocado juice, so it is actually NOT a coffee drink. I am much more familiar with having a normal avocado juice and drizzle it with an espresso shot. BUT, some cafes now serve avocado latte (I’m not sure if this is something new since I just spent the last 7 years living in the US), and I just tried one a couple of weeks ago. It looks very similar to the one you made and it tastes just like how you described it: not very avocado-y, just thicker and more creamy coffee?? Anyway, thanks for including us, I’ve been waiting for this day! Another combo I think some cultures are not familiar with is fruits and peanut sauce???? We have a dish called rujak buah, which is assortment of fresh fruits (pineapples, papayas, mangoes are a few of them) with a side of peanut sauce. It’s not like satay peanut sauce. It’s not supposed to be loose and smooth in consistency. I believe it consists of peanuts, palm sugar, chillies (of course, but optional), tamarind, grind them together and slowly add hot water? Would love if you try this next! P.S: Mike, you nailed the pronunciation of jus alpukat 😄
One of my favorite things to do with apples was dice it and cook it until soft with some spinach with salt and pepper. Always really enjoyed it as a lighter side with a steak. Happy to see anything close to that around
Just got mi tickets for the show! , point appart the combination of banana and pesto that you guys did in an older video is something that I continue to do now and that always gets to a conversation
On using salt & pepper on the apples. I keep a pot of chaat masala on my desk to sprinkle on fruits for extra flavour. Salt & pepper are two of the ingredients in it, though the others really help add as well as bring out the fruity flavours.
6:51 the pepper with apples makes sense to me because you add mace to your apple pie filling. Along with other spices but mace is kind of a peppery spice and works really well in a apple pie. I think adding a pinch of white pepper or something could be quite nice in a pie.
I can tell you apples (any variant) chopped into small bites and then tossed with salt, paprika/red chili powder/fresh green chilis and mustard is a great snack. You can do that with unripe mangoes, guavas, pears etc and you will love that.
Flavourparing In Germany we have a dish called "Käsespätzle mit Apfelbrei", there is no good translation for it so you have to look it up. To prepare it, you need a strong swiss or austrian cheese, put roasted onions on top and than eat with cold apple mash, tastes amazing!
French fries dipped in a chocolate shake. Strawberries dipped in marshmallow, and then roasted on an open fire. I have a list of 100 more of the best combinations. Olives with a hint of vanilla, and sea salt.
Just wanted to say, Mike you pronounced alpukat perfectly 👏🏼👏🏼 We usually drink avocado juice with chocolate syrup, which is freaking amazing - yall should try
A couple things some people do in the US that I may or may not agree with: -sliced tomatoes with sugar -watermelon with salt - dumping salted peanuts in a bottle of beer
Try sprinkling cinnamon on pepperoni pizza. I stumble upon this combination by mistake (chili flake and cinnamon containers look alike). I refused to let my last slice of pizza to go to waste so I ate it. You will not be disappointed!
In the Philippines, we do combine chocolate/cocoa porridge (Champorado) with dried herring (Tuyo). I wasn't a believer at first, but after a while it growed on me. The saltiness of the fish accentuates the rich sweetness of the porridge whilst not being sickly sweet.
11:58 actually, mike is pronouncing it perfectly! Although we don’t use vanilla extract or paste since that is kinda expensive here. We also don’t add coffee with it and we just drizzle some more chocolate condensed milk on the side of the glass or on top!
Coffee and lemon are good together (particularly if you're adding a coffee liqueur and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail. Try equal parts dark rum, kahlua, Angostura bitters and lemon juice; dry shake with an egg white; shake breifly with ice; strain into a glass; serve)
Coffee and orange juice! Makes it taste like dark chocolate. I've also slapped a teabag into a cup of coffee for funsies, also an ok combo. Balsamic vinegar glaze on vanilla ice cream is also pretty nice, if you can't get your hands on strawberry vinegar. Also, strawberry vinegar to dip a grilled chicken with creme fraiche sauce into...
I had a chemistry course at university and we were taught that pineapple and basil works together because the flavor molecules in the two are mirror of each other.. it does taste good!
weird combos probably even the internet hasn't tried Hot Cheetos with garlic mayo Waffles with Thai sweet chili sauce Eggs with melted marshmallow French fries with coffee syrup Grilled chicken breast with strawberry/apricot jam.
Loved it! Try freshly cooked and still hot slices of roast lamb with After Eight Mints and thinly sliced red onion on seeded bread baps with garlic butter. Absolutely amazing, the chocolate goes extremely well with the lamb and the onion (which was a big surprise) and the sweet mint fondant cuts through the fat and enhances the lamb flavour. Also, deep frozen After Eight Mints, smashed up and added to a lime and/or lemon sorbet is incredible.
"What's the one thing Ben has taught us in 13 years?"
Always add a Bay leaf.
And a sprig of mint.
😂
If in doubt, make fish pie
Or quiche!
Add 4 bay leaves if no one's driving.
If I'm not mistaken, the soy sauce caramel that you're describing is a popular sauce for glutinous rice balls in Japan. That snack/sweet is called mitarashi dango
Except it also uses mirin

Brilliant. That makes so much sense. Love it.
yes, another combo that came to mind is watermelon dipped in salty chili powder as well. It's very popular in Vietnam
In Colombia we mix a lot of fruits with salt pepper and lemon, it’s delicious
Mangoes in salt and chilli yea
South asia too. guavas, raw mangoes with salt chilli
The normals "discovering" everything that they've been told over the years is wonderful.
I love this style of video. It would be fun to see the inverse of this, where you give the normals finished/combined foods and have them work out the pairing.
Immediately ran downstairs and tried the apple with salt and pepper. BRILLIANT! I became allergic to potatoes a few years ago and have been missing potato chips/crisps desperately. This works!!!🤯 Thanks guys!!!! ❤🥔❤
Is it just potatoes? You could get root veggie chips like beets and sweet potatoes maybe? 🥲
I saw someone roast radishes like you'd roast potatoes in the regular oven 'til they're done and then for a few minutes in the airfryer to make them more crispy.
@@karinberonius8799 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into that. I love radishes! Appreciate the suggestion. 👍

In the juice stalls all around my city it’s quite common to ask the seller to add a sachet of instant coffee in your Jus Alpukat though.. but maybe it’s just regional thing

Balsamic vinegar and strawberries with a little sugar is lovely with clotted cream ice cream 😊
I knew the apple one would work because I make a white apple-pepper gravy for my porkchops.
Yeah I've cooked pork with green apples and just use salt and pepper. It was one of my great, great grandmother's recipes (maybe older but she wrote it down)
Apple sauce with pork is pretty normal and, in my mind, pork would always be cooked with the usual salt and pepper.
Black pepper on strawberries is a classic combination, so I knew apples and salt/pepper would work.
Pork chops and applesauce is a classic from childhood. I've done it with a chunkier homemade savoury applesauce. Onions boiled down with the apples, salt and pepper, maybe a but of something else for a hint of spice. Some herbs might work, but savoury applesauce is great.
Apples and old cheddar is a fairly common pairing too so I fully agree.

Sounds great!
Pisang goreng with sambal sounds awesome to be honest!
I like banana and peanut butter; also apple and peanut butter.
I only like unripe bananas with my peanut butter; if it's ripe it's sweet on sweet and that's overwhelming
I only like unripe bananas, or just barely ripe!
Balsamic (either a reduction, or the real, proper expensive stuff) on vanilla or strawberry icecream is delicious.
Also a few years ago over here in Australia, Cadbury made a Vegemite chocolate that was weirdly good. It did the salted caramel thing mostly, but also enhanced the funk that vegemite has.

It's delicious on fresh strawberries too.
Balsamic glaze is the best way to get some kind of value from those strawberries and peaches you get at the supermarket that look better than they taste.
@@bmljenny ooh, never tried it on peaches. Will have to remember.
BTW chocolate and Marmite has been a thing for over a decade, made famous by Paul A. Young
Idea for a pass it on: at the start of every round, the person cooking is given a random ingredient that they MUST include in the dish
They've done a pass it on where each new person is given a choice of 2 ingredients that they must use I think 🙂
This but with a twist. For example a desert course using fermented products or a breakfast using strong spices. Maybe not as far as natto and icecream, but I could see odd pairings like fish fingers and sweet custard working (thank you Doctor Who for the idea. It's delicious). Or maybe very tart or astringent fruits in a savory dish.
this but make it ingredients previously used in poker face
Jamie and Bazzles together are a force of nature
I put salt/pepper on my apple slices with a bit of Balsamic reduction drizzled over. Really nice, can't really describe it.
that sounds delicious!
It works really well with strawberries too
Do a quick pickled apple
Its like apples on a salad delicious
it's subtle, but 1:11 "Jamie loves bacon, lol lol lol" and the camera shakes from whoever laughing. 😂 man, I love this channel.
I went into this looking at new flavor pairs, but I gotta say, i'm more interested in the fact that I never knew what "bubblegum _flavoring"_ actually was before this!
So you're telling me that that sweet classic taste is actually a little bit of everything, including the most popular gum flavors? I can't believe it has banana, pineapple, cinnamon, and *cloves* of all things! I can see why the wintergreen, but you never really taste it...
maybe the boys can try making their own bubble gum flavor from the raw ingredients?
That might have been that specific bubblegum drink. I think the 'bubblegum flavour' is a type of aromatic esther, 'cause you can synthesize bubblegum flavour rather straightforwardly. That's where it came from- someone in a lab was mixing stuff together, thought a chemical smelled nice, figured out it wasn't toxic, and used it as a flavouring.
@@Earthenfist Ah, I getcha. Thanks, I thought the flavors were too subtle to actually be used in regular bubblegum flavored gum.

I also just really love oddball food combos that don't seem like they should work on paper to begin with so I actively seek these out when I can for something new and punchy.
Whoever gave Barry the ‘pretentious’ shirt is a genius! 😂
He is dainty and posh
I mean.. that's a pretty low bar for genius but I think you're right!
What brand is it?
Barry is the poster child for pretentiousness
I don’t get it? Why is Barry’s planish off white tee pretentious??
What an outstanding video from you three. Very nice to see these combinations in action, would never have tested it myself. :)
Many greetings from Germany.
5:36 grilled watermelon with salt & pepper is one of my favs
Oooh really?! Gotta try that!
Drizzle of balsamic vinegar and crumbled feta and it's amazing on top of a leafy salad.
I started putting sea salt on orange slices earlier this year and it is unexpectedly delicious and refreshing, especially on a hot day. I'm going to have to try adding pepper now.
Pepper and orange is really delicious! Black pepper has a lot of floral depth that works really well with bright (but also floral) orange.
Ooh thanks for the tip! I’m on a high salt diet for POTS and I’m always looking for new ways to get salt in!
I feel like that’s kind of a riff on what makes margaritas so delicious 🤤 can’t wait to try that one
Can’t wait for the Wild Weekender. It’ll be a sunny distraction during a weekend filled with rain. ☀️
It's going to be so good!
I'm so happy I was able to get the entire weekend free of anything for this.😁
Vanilla ice cream and pumpkin seed oil is the elevated, tastier version of that soy sauce combo! It’s a pretty popular combination in Austria and tastes AMAZING!
Little do you know: They have already done that in a previous weird combo video. It is a pretty good video.
9:47 First thing that crossed my mind was the Avolatte. A latte inside of an avocado....and im betting that Barry had one of those already😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
From watching these guys for years, it's a joy. Does seem like chefs are just skill, experience, and the knowledge of how things taste and where to use them. Well cool.

Toasted Sesame goes really well on apple slices. So does a combo of apricot jam+peanut butter+taijin seasoning
Love when you guys do experiments like these!
I bet balsamic glaze would be amazing with vanilla icecream! I love balsamic and strawberries so I think it would work.
Vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame oil is also a weird but amazing combo!!!! The nuttiness of the sesame oil pairs well with the sweet, creamyness of the ice cream
Baz is a genius. I love marmite and vanilla ice cream. I'm so excited to try them together / make desserts with those flavours in tandem.
3:55 The way Mike just emoted made me laugh so much. I've easily watched that about 5 times now 🤣🤣 & I advise everyone to do the same
One of the strangest things I've seen people do ( I have tried it, didn't like it) was crumble "Cool Ranch" Doritos over chocolate ice cream. It's a thing in certain areas of the Southern United States, people argue over how much to crumble the Doritos (powder, or still a little bit chunky), if the spicy Doritos are better... it's something to try, anyway.
I am from North Dakota in the States and shall be trying this. Never hear of it but I like both individually so why not give it a go!?
When I was a kid in the 1950s - 1960s I remember my grandfather putting salt and pepper on his watermelon. When I mentioned it to another family member later, I was told, "Nobody does that!" But the memory is very clear, and this video confirms that I saw what I saw.
Watermelon and soy sauce go well together. And if you add some furikake seasoning to that it’s absolutely delicious.
I'm gonna try that because I love all 3
One of my favourite snacks is a Granny Smith apple dipped in soy sauce so will definitely be trying it with watermelon now, thank you!
Dill Pickle and peanut butter is an amazing combo. I also love peanut butter on a grilled cheese, or with and apple or banana. The sweet salty pairs with so much
Oh my. I apologise in advance if anyone has to try my weirdest one I tweeted! I loved it, but know most won’t 😂😂
Same
What was your flavor?
@@Urandayumm a few like the worse one were Hummus with cinnamon and porridge instead of water it's with Akdimal.
One best is watermelon and ginger
@@moonbook12 I hope they didn't force anyone on the show to pre test them hahaha.. Although the watermelon ginger could work
@@Uranday agree, I think they did
Since y'all were trying vanilla ice cream, topping it with Angostura Bitters is absolutely magical.
OooOoooOoo!! I like that idea!
Love these combo flavor videos!
And dont worry mates! Just ask Jamie: everything is better with 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
CANNOT WAIT for this weekend!
I was raised putting salt on fruit and everyone thought I was strange for it. Try kiwi or watermelon. Change your life.
Watermelon with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Feta Chesse, and Pepper is a favorited mine
In the southern states salt on watermelon was fairly common
Chocolate and basil! Amazing for cake/ganache etc
I've had soy sauce flavoured soft serve ice cream in Japan a few times around tourist attractions. Some of the bigger vendors will have all sorts of flavours like wasabi, macha, sesame etc. In my experience they do taste just like vanilla ice cream with the added flavours and they work really well!
Slices of unripe green mango or jicama (singkamas) + sauteed shrimp paste and Champorado (chocolate rice porridge) + cooked dried salted fish (either dried anchovies (dilis) or dried sardines (tuyo))
Weirdest one from Lebanon has to be figs with Zaatar (which is neither a condiment not a spice mix lads 😏😂)
Gotta try that 🥴❤️
I personally love fresh jalapeño on a salted butter frosted sticky dark chocolate brownie! Something about the spice with the butter sweetness! I don’t know if others do this but it’s my favorite homemade dessert!
I've always loved the combo of (green) apple and cheddar cheese.
I loved this! More please!
After 1 or two more of these vids I’d love to see you all do a weird pairing battle using what you’ve learned!
Omg, I'm so proud! They're really learning and starting to get the cheffy way of mentally deconstructing taste!
That bacon pun was brilliant xD
Very interesting flavor combos, and of all things Bacon and Bubblegum...
One of my all time favorite apple snacks is taking a green apple and slicing it into thin but wide strips and adding cracked black pepper, balsamic glaze, and feta! One of the best combos!
12:00 As an Indonesian, I can confirm that Mike's pronunciation of "Jus Alpukat" is quite spot on! Well done, Mike!
I would absolutely adore seeing Ben react to this video! Seeing his reactions to all this would be amazing!
i'm definitely gonna use some of these pairings for my oat meals lmao! and Mike, no worries, your pronunciation of 'jus alpukat' was perfect!
apple, honey, and fresh cracked pepper is my go-to, especially with some yummy creamy/nutty soft cheese on a cracker...oh boy...perfection!
I love that you guys actually talk about flavour profiles and try and train viewers' palettes and brains to consider what they're eating -- rather than just saying "OMG THIS IS AMAZING DELICIOUS MUST EAT" or "OMG DISGUSTING GROSS TIKTOK TREND HORRIBLE".

Just want to clarify a bit.. Jus alpukat literally translates to avocado juice, so it is actually NOT a coffee drink. I am much more familiar with having a normal avocado juice and drizzle it with an espresso shot. BUT, some cafes now serve avocado latte (I’m not sure if this is something new since I just spent the last 7 years living in the US), and I just tried one a couple of weeks ago. It looks very similar to the one you made and it tastes just like how you described it: not very avocado-y, just thicker and more creamy coffee??
Anyway, thanks for including us, I’ve been waiting for this day! Another combo I think some cultures are not familiar with is fruits and peanut sauce???? We have a dish called rujak buah, which is assortment of fresh fruits (pineapples, papayas, mangoes are a few of them) with a side of peanut sauce. It’s not like satay peanut sauce. It’s not supposed to be loose and smooth in consistency. I believe it consists of peanuts, palm sugar, chillies (of course, but optional), tamarind, grind them together and slowly add hot water? Would love if you try this next!
P.S: Mike, you nailed the pronunciation of jus alpukat 😄
Rujak buah sounds incredible! Those flavors really seem like they'd work well together.
I mix vanilla ice cream and either rice krispies or corn flakes. It is like having a bowl full of the last inch of ice cream cone ... lovely.
One of my favorite things to do with apples was dice it and cook it until soft with some spinach with salt and pepper. Always really enjoyed it as a lighter side with a steak. Happy to see anything close to that around
Just got mi tickets for the show! , point appart the combination of banana and pesto that you guys did in an older video is something that I continue to do now and that always gets to a conversation
On using salt & pepper on the apples. I keep a pot of chaat masala on my desk to sprinkle on fruits for extra flavour. Salt & pepper are two of the ingredients in it, though the others really help add as well as bring out the fruity flavours.
6:51 the pepper with apples makes sense to me because you add mace to your apple pie filling. Along with other spices but mace is kind of a peppery spice and works really well in a apple pie. I think adding a pinch of white pepper or something could be quite nice in a pie.
Roasting apples with olive oil and black pepper is wonderful
I can tell you apples (any variant) chopped into small bites and then tossed with salt, paprika/red chili powder/fresh green chilis and mustard is a great snack. You can do that with unripe mangoes, guavas, pears etc and you will love that.
Flavourparing
In Germany we have a dish called "Käsespätzle mit Apfelbrei", there is no good translation for it so you have to look it up.
To prepare it, you need a strong swiss or austrian cheese, put roasted onions on top and than eat with cold apple mash, tastes amazing!
I did add pepper to my apples a few times but I never thought about adding salt as well. Very interesting find
Try wrapping maraschino cherries with streaky bacon and bake until cooked. Absolutely delicious.
Green apple with salt and a chunk of cheddar cheese is a terrific snack.
French fries dipped in a chocolate shake. Strawberries dipped in marshmallow, and then roasted on an open fire. I have a list of 100 more of the best combinations. Olives with a hint of vanilla, and sea salt.
I always wondered why I like apples in my salads so much, another reason to season your salads.
Balsamic reduction over orange sherbert is The BOMB! I had that once as a pallet cleanser between courses at a big Italian dinner.
Just wanted to say, Mike you pronounced alpukat perfectly 👏🏼👏🏼
We usually drink avocado juice with chocolate syrup, which is freaking amazing - yall should try
A couple things some people do in the US that I may or may not agree with:
-sliced tomatoes with sugar
-watermelon with salt
- dumping salted peanuts in a bottle of beer
Try sprinkling cinnamon on pepperoni pizza. I stumble upon this combination by mistake (chili flake and cinnamon containers look alike). I refused to let my last slice of pizza to go to waste so I ate it. You will not be disappointed!
In the Philippines, we do combine chocolate/cocoa porridge (Champorado) with dried herring (Tuyo). I wasn't a believer at first, but after a while it growed on me. The saltiness of the fish accentuates the rich sweetness of the porridge whilst not being sickly sweet.
LOL. As Barry said "if a chef was here..." I literally thought "... he'd say -- well, obviously".
I love apple, pepper, garlic, and salt on a pork loin slow cooked for a Sunday dinner in the autumn when apples are in season from a local orchard!
11:58 actually, mike is pronouncing it perfectly! Although we don’t use vanilla extract or paste since that is kinda expensive here. We also don’t add coffee with it and we just drizzle some more chocolate condensed milk on the side of the glass or on top!
A very simple combination: apple and parsley. We love it, we have it as a small salad with some main dishes.
Coffee and lemon are good together (particularly if you're adding a coffee liqueur and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail. Try equal parts dark rum, kahlua, Angostura bitters and lemon juice; dry shake with an egg white; shake breifly with ice; strain into a glass; serve)
Black Pepper on orange is so good! Y’all should try it.
Vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame seeds and/or toasted sesame oil is amazing together!
Coffee and orange juice! Makes it taste like dark chocolate. I've also slapped a teabag into a cup of coffee for funsies, also an ok combo.
Balsamic vinegar glaze on vanilla ice cream is also pretty nice, if you can't get your hands on strawberry vinegar. Also, strawberry vinegar to dip a grilled chicken with creme fraiche sauce into...
I had a chemistry course at university and we were taught that pineapple and basil works together because the flavor molecules in the two are mirror of each other.. it does taste good!
weird combos probably even the internet hasn't tried
Hot Cheetos with garlic mayo
Waffles with Thai sweet chili sauce
Eggs with melted marshmallow
French fries with coffee syrup
Grilled chicken breast with strawberry/apricot jam.
19:18 Combination Suggestions:
- Oreo and Peanut Butter
- Gulab Jamun and Crêpe
- Mustard Sauce and Fried Fish
- Eggs and Péri Péri
no need to apologizing mike, as an Indonesian I can assure you that your pronunciation on "Jus Alpukat" is spot on imo
Loved it! Try freshly cooked and still hot slices of roast lamb with After Eight Mints and thinly sliced red onion on seeded bread baps with garlic butter. Absolutely amazing, the chocolate goes extremely well with the lamb and the onion (which was a big surprise) and the sweet mint fondant cuts through the fat and enhances the lamb flavour.
Also, deep frozen After Eight Mints, smashed up and added to a lime and/or lemon sorbet is incredible.
Not surprised about the avocado since we mix avocado in our frozen margaritas all the time. Makes for a smooth, delicious cocktail!
You guys never fail to make me smile 😄
