    Yeah, but how did it taste?

    See, I’ve had some accidental great bites because of pothead friends, random mistakes in the kitchen, and dares.

    Like, peanut butter, bologna, and pickles; specifically bread an butter, but any sweet pickle works.

    Cheese and grape jelly, toasted or pan fried, or even just cold.

    Fucking chocolate covered bacon is a thing, and it’s crazy, but it works.

    I don’t automatically discount a weird combination just because it’s weird any more.

    Years ago, back when I was still young and dumb enough to do truth or dare, I had hotdogs boiled in coffee. It was better than it should be.

    Fucking ramen topped with fried crickets and then drizzled with prickly pear cactus syrup. Which wasn’t great, but it was good.

    Pears with mustard. Smear the fruit with it, bake it, and eat. Fucking delicious, but it took a pothead cousin to make the attempt. Works with apples too.

    Speaking of apples, slice them thin and use them instead of lettuce on what would be a BLT. Not that strange, really, but not obvious either.

    Avocado deviled eggs. Whoda thunk it? It’s a thing, but the first I heard about it was from stoners mixing shit up and laughing their asses off.

      The weirdest thing I’ve tried on a dare is rye bread topped with pickled herring and banana. It was actually really good, the herring had a sort of cinnamony taste to it from the pickling so the banana worked really well with it

      peanut butter, bologna, and pickles

      this was my go-to sandwich in highschool! I only got a friend to try it once, on a dare. He said it was “okay”

        Nah, never needed to, and prefer to avoid the health risks. I do hate waste, and I’m fine with the folks that do dumpster dive out of necessity or belief.
