Since we're talking about peanut butter combos.

I like the heartburn-inducing Elvis burger:

8 oz hamburger
Bacon
Fried banana
Peanut butter

Bananas are good in curry.

Anyone ever eaten steak with chocolate sauce? Sounds revolting, but you never know.

Here's the Fool's Gold Loaf, also a fave of his:

One entire loaf of italian bread is coated with two tablespoons of softened butter.
The bread is placed in a 350 degree (F) oven for approximately fifteen minutes or until loaf is browned.
The loaf is then halved along its length on one side.
The soft inside of the loaf is scraped away to allow room for the filling.
One whole jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and a pound (!) of lean bacon, fried crispy and still warm, are layered inside the loaf.

One of my all time favorites:

Macaroni and cheese and popcorn shrimp. Oh, and some hush puppies on the side.

Apples and cheddar are hardly strange either.

I used to eat baby carrots and mustard. People used to think that was weird.

There's this soup my family makes around Easter. You pour it over a bunch of ingredients like:

Ham
Veal
Kielbasa
Sliced egg
Horseradish

This isn't the strange combination, it's all these things with the soup itself, which is moldy cream that you've let sit covered in the pantry for a week, skimmed off the chunky bits, and boiled the **** out of it to kill everything.

It's really, really good.

I saw an episode of Ham on the Street where he proved that any jelly-cheese-bread combination made a great grilled sandwich. He got people to spin wheels that landed on one of each, made the sandwich on the spot, and people loved them. Even some really weird combinations like grilled pepper jelly with munster on pumpernickel.

Obviously MacNNers are not very culinarily explorative. We haven't even got beyond sandwiches.

How 'bout this: filet mingon with blue cheese, bacon, oysters.

I went to his site and someone dared him to eat a mint jelly, limburger cheese and pumpernickel bread sandwich.

There is a Mexican dish that uses chocolate but instead of beef they use chicken. Very good. It takes a second to process the flavors at first.

It goes down easy and comes out fast.

When my nurse was pregnant she would eat pickles and oranges together.

The front desk girls all made fun of her for that...

Me like sweets and fats. Amazing I'm still thin.

I used to work with a guy who like luncheon-meat/pastry combinations. The only two I remember are a bologna/glazed donut sandwich, and sliced ham wrapped around a twinkie.

that sounds delicious. I've had steak with bleu cheese, it's fabulous. Oysters, hmmm... Scallops would be good I know, but I would try the oysters. Does it come with a garlic mash potatoes and grilled asparagus? Place my order.

Mole sauce.

Not a weird combo, but delicious: peanut butter and honey on toasted bread.

So is it safe to say something that I've thought for many years? "Peanut butter is the best food on earth."

Bananas and sriracha hot sauce are awesome. I discovered that when someone dared me to.

A buddy of mine also introduced me to peanut butter and yogurt sandwiches.

And lastly, when I was a kid, my parents used to make me apple, cheese, and marmelade snacks, with the ingredients cut into cubes, and you mix and match any combination or proportion of the three ingredients. People thought it was wierd, but I loved it. I think i'm going to go out and buy some marmelade now...

Very similar to something Colombians eat that use farmers cheese (something like mozzarella) and guava paste. No apples but it wouldn't hurt to try. The company Goya sells it here in the states if anyone is feeling adventurous .

They also take that same combination of cheese and guava paste and place it in the middle of large sweet plantain bananas and bake them(serve with vanilla ice cream on side).....DAMNIT......I'm making myself home sick!

Great with vanilla or chocolate shakes too. But I shouldn't have to tell you that.
