Weird food combinations

reading a thread on a forum made me think about this again. Here's the initial question:

Are there any things you like to eat together that really don't go together or most people find weird?

Well, most stuff I eat people find weird. Sometimes I eat desserts before the main dish... but aside from that, here are my favorite weirdo-combis:

- banana slices on a peanutbutter toast
- blue cheese with figue jam and roasted pumpkin seeds on bread (that's actually how one gourmet cheese restaurant serves it. loved the combination ever since)
- pickles and ham
- French fries with regular mayonnaise
- breaded deep-fried chicken with mayonnaise (baked in fat, dipped in fat, love it)

That's all I can come up with right now. Next time I'll post pics again

Trying to eat less calories...

Looks pretty healthy, eh?
Forget it, I was offered some cookies afterwards and couldn't say no...

And guess what, I even ate more cookies than pictured :D

Other lunch options

Working fulltime leaves little time to cook, so I've been checking out the Bagels by the Roast. Today I got the Thai chicken-coconut soup again (yummy, just wished it was spicy and costs less). Last time it had soy sprouts in it though, this time only chicken, carrots and mushrooms. The bagel was a pumpkin seed one, I think it's kinda random with that soup, last time it was either the oregano or tomato bagel, while dishes like chili con carne scream for an onion bagel... And I had the blueberry bagel (not pictured) for dessert. But I like the raisin-cinnamon one (next pic) better. Still have to check out the chocolate bagel.
Here we have the pic of a different day. On the left is raisin-cinnamon, right is poppy seed and bottom is onion bagel. The last is still my favorite out of the salty flavors. I was surprised 2 of them would keep me full for several hours. Good value for 1€ each.
I might need to go to the weekend brunch at that place, quite pricy at 17€ (I think), but endless amounts of bagels...
