I’ll start:
Sparkling Shiraz. This stuff is bloody lovely

Your nominations for stuff that shouldn’t work, but just does. Let’s have ‘em...
I've got a bottle of somthing similar under the stairs but no one wants to share it with me. Might break out a straw later.
Cheese and marmalade sandwiches. The stronger the cheese the better.
Might break out a straw later.
I’d definitely recommend you do. Non-plastic straw, obvs 😉
Cheese scones with rhubarb & ginger jam.
It's mixing savoury and sweet but it's the afternoon snack of the Gods
Cheese and marmalade sandwiches
In the same vein; v strong cheese on dark choc digestives
Crunchy peanut butter, sweet chilli chicken, rocket, on sourdough bread served with a rather marvellous IPA.
- Own farts
- The liquid from bovine-breasts mixed with mastitis pus, only now curdled and a foot-stink bacteria added to make it so putrid that the resultant goop tastes like tonsil-stones
- ^Same cheeses, yet amplified in taste by combining in mouth with a grape
- Mucus-covered organs

My sister used to live in Santander and a popular drink was red wine and cola. Can't remember what it was called, but that was surprisingly pleasant.

In the same vein, philadelphia cheese on dark chocolate ginger nuts

A mixture sent from the Gods.

Oooooooo, had forgotten all about that! Remember smashing loads on a 90's exchange trip to Oviedo. Comes pre-mixed right?
peanut butter and marmite doesn't sound like the work of the devil. That's god's own combination, sounds delicious, is.
– Mucus-covered organs
Any in particular? Or just as a general mission statement?

had to google that, looks like its called calimocho. ill be trying some.
Ebikes.
When I prepare food for a big day ride I make Elvis sandwiches for the group. Crispy cob (bread roll), butter, streaky bacon, crunchy peanut butter, apricot conserve. All the necessary food groups in one irresistible bundle.
MrsTH swears by Shandy, but replacing the lemonade with Cola.
I remain unconvinced
Slices of beetroot on a bacon butty.
Weetabix buttered with marmalade. 😋
Kalimotxo. It's Basque.
The perfect fuel for dancing until dawn.

Crunchy peanut butter and HP sauce.
Another mixture sent from the gods.
HOW DID I NEVER CONNECT THESE, big fan of chilli jam.
Norwegian brown cheese on ginger nut biscuits. I swear there's crack cocaine in that cheese. Once I start on this stuff I'm strangely compelled to eat the lot.

Mrs Binners spent a lot of time working out in Spain. She swears by this. It is herself who bought the sparkling Shiraz.
While we’re on the subject, chilled red wine sounds wrong, but this stuff is bloody great in the sun, straight out of the fridge

90% dark chocolate dipped in Hummus
I haven't tried it (slightly daren't) but a mate said that the cause of him putting on a LOT of weight one year was catering-size tubs of coronation chicken, scooped up with bourbon biscuits
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam on Scotch pancakes.
Brussels paté on lemon & sultana Scotch pancakes.
All 3 for breakfast sounds like the perfect start to the day.
Slices of beetroot on a bacon butty
Oh yes! I’m definitely trying that @captainclunkz
I’m a big fan of the corned beef and beetroot butty
In the same vein; v strong cheese on dark choc digestives
OK, I'll be honest - I thought that this was utter bollocks. But I happen to have both strong cheese and chocolate digestives and I conducted an experiment.
Long story short, it's bloody brilliant. Can't believe I've never tried this before.
Marmite and raspberry jam on toast. You need the marmite on quite thick to cut through the sweetness of the jam.
Put a mince pie in the oven, get it lovely and warm. Pop the top off when it comes out and put a decent slice of stilton inside.
This combination has been responsible for most of my Christmas weight gain since it was shown to me many years ago.
Cheese or peanut butter makes anything tasty.
Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.
So many people just don't/won't get this
There are things on here that sound utter shite...Can't wait to try them; especially peanut butter and marmite!
Stilton alloyed with grated carrot.

'Tis lovely indeed, but it is the work of the devil.
You discover that in the morning... 🙂

They're probably the ones who know it should be wensleydale or <spit> lancs
Taiwanese century eggs. Or stinky tofu.
