Sweet and savoury

[Urban Sports]

Should be separated IMO, I really can't stand the 2 together. I'm watching MvF and there is a caramel doughnut with bacon on. For me absolutely no chance!

I can't stand pineapple on a pizza, and I love pizza and pineapple.

I can't be the only one?

Nonsense. Look at thai cuisine. Sweet, sour, hot, salty and savoury. Balanced, basically.

Try marmite on toast tomorrow, with a light scraping of honey.

Delicious.

sweet and sour is the horrible one.

or honey and mustard. i hate honey and mustard.

I don't do fruit & meat. Pineapple & gammon, turkey & cranberry, duck & orange, pork & apple... all a BIG no-no.

Although recently I've got into Thai cuisine, and don't mind lime with beef, or chicken with coconut milk (Thai green curry).

I'm with you on the ham and pineapple thing - hate it! But I love those berry things they put with the meatballs in Ikea! As for Marmite - it should be banned!!!

I like sweet and savoury together but I saw someone order a prawn sandwich with jam and cream once; put me off my dinner.

Sweet and savoury...
Lamb and mint, cheese and chutney, ikea meatballs and loganberry jam, milk and coke

I am often ridiculed for not liking sweet and savoury, but I really don't understand the appeal of the most common combos..

Pork and apple?
Turkey and cranberry?
Ham and pineapple?

Surely these were all put together as an experiment when someone had had a few too many, especially ham and pineapple.

However....lamb shank with a redcurrant and red wine gravy is delicious.

I love it! Made a 'monte cristo' after seeing it on MvF - hot dog bun cut in half and lightly fried in butter with jam on top, then add a fried hot dog cut in half and a slice of swiss cheese, tasted pretty damn amazing!!

I can see how loganberry jam might work, but it's lingonberry jam.

lingonberries



loganberries




OK then sweet and savoury haters, how about my Norwegian Goat's cheese and raspberry jam sandwich?

not sure

taking inspiration from those 'hovis' digestive biscuits that you always get in 'cheese and biscuits' biscuit selection boxes, I once ate a piece of Port Salut with a dark chocolate digestive biscuit. It was really nice.

Or honey roasted salted peanuts, or chocolate flavoured pretzels, Or some indian dishes, my favourite being a Dhansak, sweet, sour spicy, savoury. mmmmm

Hungry now

I hate sweet and savoury, for me it just does not work. I don't particually like sweet things and I don't want to be munching though a curry and find raisins in it.

And why is it always the pudding ingredients sneeking into starter or main dishes. You never get pork chop trifle or chicken gâteau.

Yeah I agree there, I hate fruit in food.
