You must have some stomach stamina to read this. The fried grasshopper on tofu was one of my favorites! Same with squid burritos. That said, my kids stopped inviting their friends over for dinner and slumber parties. Hell, I even took the time to vacuum the sheets. Such are the rewards for good parenting! The mole shakes were a bit much, I must admit.
We all know what goes well together like apple pie and ice cream, feta cheese and olives but how about some ghastly food combinations? Here are a few suggestions, please forward your own.
The same green olives with pineapple for a pizza combination, Gorgonzola cheese topping.
A stout beer with tomato juice as a cocktail.
From my own background Herring salads, worse when finished with ice cream. All pickled fish or mussel dishes with milk. Sour cream sauces are exempted! I am talking about the beverage to go with the dish.
Pickles and Strawberry jam.
Pickles or gherkins with milk, or with (fill it in). Hmm. Chocolate covered pickles might even work.
And while on Chocolates serving it with Blue Cheese as appetizers.
Anchovy milk shakes
Near forgot garlic! – garlic-banana smoothie?
And of course Green Cheese and Spam.
Here in Sequim we pride ourselves on Lavender Spaghetti – so barfo!
(Send in your own with a name and I will add it to the list.)

If other people add their own combinations it could not be copyrighted and Dairy Queen and McDonalds will have a field day … although the fast food chain never took me up on McCrickets or the proper use of bugs.
I will admit that once in a while I would try some culinary experiments that my daughters would draw a line at This would be page 2 of the above. Deep Fried Bee Larva! I was so ahead of my time!
Oh Yah back when the world was to end I put together a nice page as what to serve on the last day. Dinner on Doomsday!
BTW on the MOLESHAKES: easy enough after one learned to remove the claws. Trust me blade replacements are not cheap. Anyway its lunchtime and I am off to my grasshopper springroll.
