[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a European who’s been here for decades, I have yet to eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich; and [b]Reese’s pieces are cringeworthy. [/b]
I love chocolate and peanut butter, just not together.
I’ll eat pretty much everything, incl very “exotic “ foods.[/quote]

How are they cringeworthy?[/quote]

Putting chocolate, which is sweet, with salty peanut butter?
I’m not criticizing people who love the combination, just saying for me it’s like eating salt herring with strawberries [/quote]

Savory and sweet combinations are well liked by many. Like agrodulce (sour and sweet), savory and sweet flavors contrast well and exist in many if not most cultures. Melon and prosciutto, salted almonds and dates, watermelon and feta, dates and bacon, figs and prosciutto, salted caramel, canard a l’orange, schnitzel with lingonberry jam, roast pork with apoles, etc. Turkey with cranberry sauce, of course. Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean foods have a lot of salt/sweet interplay, especially the pork dishes, which lend well to sweetness. All bbq sauces are salty and sweet. Perhaps you are from a rare place that doesn’t enjoy salty/sweet combos. Where are you from, PP?[/quote]

Ketchup is the ultimate savory sweet condiment. Hopefully none of these people are using ketchup or ketchup based sauces on their food. [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs who said I don’t like savory sweet combinations (but I do like peanut butter and chocolate). I can’t stand ketchup. I also don’t like any of the combinations PP mentioned above, which is why I have trouble with many (but not all) Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese dishes. Also BBQ.[/quote]
