Since mangoes are in season now:

Green mangoes (still crunchy) with crushed Thai pepper and sugar and a tiny pinch of salt.

Or just go all out and make the crack sauce.

Curried rice with chicken, dried cranberries, and pistachios

It's not something for me now that I'm older but I use to love putting ketchup on mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I know mac and cheese with it is somewhat common.

Also potatoes on a hamburger is really good. If you do a cheese burger it might take some trial and error on getting the right cheese. I myself like fresh shredded American. Don't use cheap ingredients though! This is the 1 thing I wouldn't cheap out on.

Youve heard poutine which is fries with cheese and gravy. Next time try fries wth cheese and salsa.

I've been looked at weirdly for dipping pretzels in mustard.

I don't agree but I get called weird for putting applesauce on my macncheese

A scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.

Not sure whether it's unusual, but at least it took many years to be introduced to combining any chocolate dessert with red wine.

I don't know anyone who does this, but I love putting barbecue chips on cheese and mustard sandwiches. Same with spicy chips.

I just had Mac n cheese with green Chile and meatballs. I liked it 👍

Squeeze of lime on hot, salty French fries.

Sriracha sauce on a hot dog, period.

Peanut butter, jalapenos, and your fingers. Get to dipping.

Based on this thread peanut butter or peanuts goes with a lot more than expected.

Potato chips dipped in peanut butter or yellow mustard. Malt vinegar on eggs. Waldorf salad.

Dip your pretzel sticks or Salzstangen in mustard.

Trust me and thank me later.

Nutella on a salty cracker, like a saltine. Careful, you can eat half a jar this way!

Cheese and jam

Roasted peanuts goes good with most salty foods. Crush and sprinkle it on top of some beef or chicken for a nice, tasty crunch.

Chocolate Stout beer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream (gently lowered -- otherwise it's all foam gushing about).

I take no credit. A deadhead, traveling beer blogger in a Winnebago (how he described himself) told me about it years ago.

Beer float.

Dry roasted peanuts and fresh tomato

Chicken Shack Broasted Potatoes with their Cole Slaw mixed in.

It's so good, it's the main thing I get there, it's better than the chicken.

It's like going to Red Lobster and just ordering the cheddar bay biscuits.

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are way better than they have any right to be.

Got to be no sugar varieties of both ingredients.

pretzel, salami and nutella

Honey and white cheese on a pancake. Honey by itself might be too sweet - the cheese (especially if it's a bit more salty) balances that out nicely.

I don't think it's unusual, but balsamic vinegar, mixed with olive oil, and sprinkled with pepper, is an excellent dip for sourdough or French bread.

I used to sauté up frozen corn in butter with garlic and paprika. Right about when it's done, throw in some cilantro. Fuck. I want some now. I had to stop eating it, it was causing problems I was eating too much.
