Hi there, Lynn. Oh, I like taking one from one sister and another from another. Nice sister-mix, that. I will try popcorn with raisins immediately. Lovely thought. I can just taste it now. Please come back soon for more.

To steal one ingredient each from Roadchick and Chef Gwen, I like popcorn (salted) with raisins, and I like lime with tequila! And ketchup doused (piled!) with pepper for dippin’ fries into. PB & choc is the classic though.

Hi, Chef Gwen. Oh, you’re quite welcome, indeed. I made up a batch and adore them. Ah: Quinoa. So good, so versatile. Yes: avocado and lime is a wonder, though I am amused by your steadfast dislike of the brussel sprout. Very nice. Thanks for coming by. Hope to see you here again soon.

Hi, Sandy. Oh, me too, me too. I first had french fries with vinegar in England during a semester abroad and thought they were the crown jeweIs themselves. Lovely, lovely. I did not know that they are a western New York thing. I love that detail, as I do any new piece of knowledge on regional food. Thanks so much, and come back soon.

One of my favorites is french fries with a good malt vinegar. It’s a western NY thing.

Dear Marion… thanks so much for including my quinoa pancakes on the “good” side of combos.

There aren’t too many pairings I don’t like, unless Brussels sprouts is one of the two. But I’m especially fond of avocado and lime.

Oooooh: M&Ms with popcorn. Cool. Yummy. Weirdly wonderful. Thanks, Roadchick. I love these sorority-of-the-mouth personal tastes. So individual. So fun. Please come back soon.

I love sweet & salty together but especially M&Ms or Hershey kisses with popcorn. I’ve been avoiding salted caramels because I think that would sliding into an addiction that even going to The Betty wouldn’t help.

I can think of a few things that I don’t like (boiled okra – it’s a texture thing) but I can’t think of a taste combination that I don’t like. . .

I’m sure this will be one of those things that will wake me at 3 a.m. when my subconscious pulls something from the archives.

Funnier that I didn’t know this about you, big sister. Sounds like your basic she said/she said to me.

Funny that you cite me and the PB and chocolate queen and the youngest member of our family as the Saltines and butter fiend. Guess what I like much better than PB-chocolate? Yup. Butter doesn’t last long here when there are crackers (or any other edible surface) around.
