Today’s Mofo prompt is Tell us about a weird food combo that you love.
I really can’t think of a weird food combo I love. I can give you a science experiment though. You need some halva (the grey store bought kind that you find in continental delis) and a can of soft drink/soda pop/something like Coke. Now I don’t drink the stuff and wouldn’t recommend it but this is science and so you have to do it do it just once. You don’t have to swallow the drink either!
Eat a decent chunk of the halva (swallow it). Then fill your mouth with the Coke-like drink. Instant science lesson in your mouth! Why is it so?
Actually this kinda ties in with the childhood meal prompt. We used to have halva sandwich as a special treat. You need slices of the halva and… bread.
Pre-vegan I used to like eating plain potato chips (crisps) followed by a piece of milk chocolate.
For a flavour combo I love now but used to puke at, I have to vote for miso-tahini. The first time I made it I felt sick, like it was so wrong to have those two together. Now I really like it!

I am still thinking about this prompt.
Your science experiment made me giggle, I won’t be trying it – though may share it with my nephews. I like halva now and again.
Miso – Tahini – now that is one i have yet to try.
It took me a while to warm to ‘tofu scramble’ in the same sentence but now I love that too 🙂
Well I think it looks and sounds great! I could eat a whole head of cauliflower right now I think 😛
just realised I have some miso-tahini sauce in the freezer but no cauliflower, doh.
I can’t say I have come around to the miso tahini combo thought sometimes they work together in a sauce – I am thinking of buying some halva – does it have to be really sweet drink (I guess home made lemonade would not do?)
I think it has to be the disgusting soft drink sort– haven’t tried it with home made lemonade!
Is the experiment similar to pop rocks and soda? I find halva a bit too intense though I love tahini sandwiches so halvawiches would be good too maybe the bread would balance out the sweetness.That vintage vid is great, I wish my professor had been that candid 🙂 Kitty is eyeing up that delicious looking miso-tahini bowl!
I haven’t tried pop rocks and soda– that’s my next experiment! When I was little that professor was always on tv advertising chocolate with “why is it so”, people still quote him!
i LOVE that little clip from “Why is it so?” !! *rushes to youtube to watch more!*
me toooooooooooooooo!
Ha, the experiment made me laugh! If I can bring myself to have coke I will try it 🙂
it’s a weird sensation in the mouth!
Miso and tahini are one of my favourite combinations. I am glad you have come to love it!
I forgot to mention chocolate and tahini!
Ooh, is it like the mentos in pepsi experiment? I don’t have halva (or coke) to try it with!
we need a potluck!!!
