  1. My absolute favorite food is strawberries, so my favorite pair would most definitely be strawberries and chocolate.

  18. Strawberries and Nutella! YUM! I love strawberries, even my friends nicknamed me Strawberry…LOL

  22. My favorite food paing is probably a juicy steak with a crip salad dressed with a good bleu cheese dressing.

    PS-Sent these strawberries to my mother, who never “needs anything.” This was ONE gift that she didn’t refuse…

  27. My preggers craving that never went away…crinkle cut frozen french fries microwaved 3min and dipped in A1 sauce (instead of ketchup). Mmmmmmm…..now I need to go buy some!

  30. Old fashioned southern cornbread that is still warm, crumbled in a tall glass of milk. May sound country but it is good!!

  32. Waffle fries from chick fila dipped in idaho spud sauce.. basically that’s a concoction of ketchup and mayo in a bottle from Idaho! Lol

  34. This is tough just because I’m weird. Lately, I’ve been on a spicy kick so in the past couple of months I would have to say pepperjack cheese and pepperoncinis.

  36. Along the theme of comfort foods: hot chocolate and buttered toast. It’s one of the things I remember from cold winter days as a kid. I can’t have hot chocolate without thinking of wanting the toast, too.

  42. Granny smith apples and smuckers natural chunky peanut butter!! I think I could live off of this pair alone! Soooo good! Also no preservatives…..so healthy and for me no bloating!! Win!!

  43. Pizza and Pepsi! But sadly I gave up soda recently to be healthier so guess it’s time to find a healthy new match for pizza 😉

  48. People have mentioned so many good combos!! But right now I’m loving apples and peanut butter!

  50. This is the toughest question yet!
    Pretzels & chocolate, turkey & stuffing, chip & dip, I could go on & on & on & on & on………

  54. Cheese with ANYTHING!!! But, if I was forced with a favorite it would be mozzarella and franks hot sauce!

  56. Right now my favorite is homemade pickle spears wrapped up in cream cheese and ham…mmm. mmm. Good!

  70. My favorite combo is chocolate and strawberries. Well really, chocolate with just about anything.

  74. Eating a full dozen in one day may make your stomach hurt for days, but you can manage half all by yourself one day, hide them well in the fridge and finish the rest the next day with no ill effects. Won’t tell you how I know this. Nope. 😉 Chocolate and strawberries, bananas, peanut butter, I could go on and on. That’s my favorite. 🙂

  79. Chocolate and peanut butter are the best. I’m a little allergic to both so I have to ration my intake. As long as I don’t indulge two days in row I’m usually okay. Such a burden I bear.

  92. Since cheese and chips pair with nearly everything, I’m going to have to go with olives and bread.

  96. I’m from the MS Gulf Coast, and we eat Catalina dressing with our pizza. At all the pizza places, they have it out and also sell it for delivery. Haven’t lived there in 10 years, but I ALWAYS keep Catalina in my fridge!

  114. Oh, let’s see! Peanut Butter and Chocolate, cheesecake and whipped cream, french fries and mayo!!!, etc, etc, etc. 🙂

  124. My favorite food pairing would have to be cheeseburger and fries. Everyone else’s ideas sound good, too.

  129. Coffee and everything. Seriously coffee and white chocolate or peppermint or cinnamon or donuts or French toast or anything accompanied by coffee 🙂

  131. I have a weird food pairing that I really enjoy….cheez-its or goldfish crackers with chocolate. Yum!

  132. This might sound odd but I was pretty much grazing in the fridge one day (I do this when I’m not in the mood to cook) and I ate a hand full of

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixlets

    and then I ate a sun dried tomato without thinking. It’s way weird but it was a match made in heaven. It goes together like baked potatos and butter… salt and pepper… PB n’ J. There’s just something about that specific artifical chocolate and the Olive oil marinated tomato that fits together. I dare you to try it!!

  135. I think salt and caramel make an amazing combination. Nothing better than a salted caramel hot chocolate at Starbucks on a cold day. Mmmmmm.

  136. Hot tea (preferably Very spicy Chai or Earl Grey) and cold milk; or creamy tomato soup with chunks of Gorgonzola or bleu cheese and a bit of dill

  145. Peanut butter on a spoon dipped in chocolate chips is my first go to,
    second is kielbasa and boiled potatoes. Go figure!

  146. Bruswick stew and Saltine crackers . . . Followed by chocolate covered strawberries, please! 🙂

  154. Homemade rolls and butter…especially piping hot, right out of the oven so the butter drizzles down your chin. Yum!

    Thanks.

  162. Years ago when my husband and I would be driving from where we lived in Seaside to my home town of Molalla, we’d always stop at a combo gas/snack/bathroom break market and get pepperoni sticks and orange pop. So yummy !!! Since that time I’ve always liked a combo of sweet and salt or something fruity and chocolate. This fits the bill just fine !!!!! Yummm!!!

  168. Salt and pepper. So many things that aren’t that good are made awesome by this simple combination.

  182. Most days I’d say bagels and cream cheese. The holidays tend to bring out all the angst in people around me so from now until the 2nd of January – I’d say it’s vodka and orange juice!

  192. Ditto on the raspberries and chocolate but before I saw that one, I wanted to tell you one of my favorites – it is weird – pizza and homemade ranch dressing. I love to dip the crust. 😀

  194. I have loved dill pickles wrapped in a piece of American cheese since forever…weird…sure but delicious nonetheless

  200. so… this may seem odd… my mom makes and cans the best and most beautiful thick sweet pickles and growing up my family paired these with chili. I love eating a bowl of spicy chili and taking an occasional bite of her sweet pickles. (doubters, try it 😉 )

  203. All of these posts have made me super hungry!!!! My favorite combo is a glass of Pinot Grigio and crackers. They just go so well together!!! And one just isn’t quite the same without the other.

  205. Oddly, sharp cheddar and apples. I discovered it while pregnant and yet it still makes sense even today. So good.

  217. I usually eat healthfully, but when my step-grandchildren stay with us, they always ask for macaroni and cheese. I love boxed macaroni and cheese with salsa.

  238. Buttered Toast dipped in Hot Chocolate. I used to drink it after playing outside in the snow all day.

  252. Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. I know it sounds gross, but I grew up on them. My whole family eats them.

  253. Potato chips and sour cream onion dip. How I once weighed more than a small sofa, too (but no longer!)

  256. this is a hard one – there are so many! But the first thing that came to mind is peanut butter and honey. YUM!

  261. I have a thing for rich hot cocoa and dry life cereal. It just puts me in the mood for winter.

  264. I would have to say peaches and blackberries. was raised on an orchard where we had both, and fresh off the tree and fresh off the vine – YUM!!!!

  268. Garlic and onions. MMMM. I am pregnant and when every other smell makes me gag, the smell of onions and garlic on the stove always smells wonderful. 🙂

  282. You already named so many of my favorites…
    but with this cold/wet weather we’re having here I have to say a really
    creamy mac & cheese.

  288. I have enter my son’s favorite, because because not only does he love reading your site with me, I believe it is AWESOME that a 7 year old he came up with……. Watermelon and mint!!!

    (sometimes, he even adds mango, pepper, and olive oil to it). My future chef! ; )

  295. Nutella and_______________ fill in the blank. Usually bananas but last night I had nutella and strawberries.

  298. There are so many. Mint and chocolate combo is probably my favorite; though chocolate goes good with just about anything. My brother-in-law always has eggs and ketchup. What a combination. He won’t eat eggs without the ketchup.

  300. Peanut butter and banana! Yum! I have it on pb with sliced banana on whole wheat bread for breakfast every morning of the universe!

  302. My Favorite Pairing This Time Of Year Especially is German Gluewein(mulled wine) With Potato Latkes. That is Christmas…

  309. I like peanut butter and chocolate together, although not so much when they aren’t together!

  322. Chocolate and ANYTHING. Well, no, not really. Not getting the whole chocolate and bacon thing. Both great by themselves but ewwww together.

    My favorite pairing? Chocolate and caramel. Oh yummy yum yum!

  325. Chocolate and strawberries are my favorite combination, but can never afford them 🙁 I would love these!

  329. Yowza, these are my favorite! The hubs bought me a dozen this year for Mother’s Day. He’s a keeper!

  338. Homemade raw milk (Jersey with cream) yogurt and homegrown Orange Blossom honey: so yummy I can hardly stand it!
