Why make it a mountain when its only a molehill? Life is short. Let's keep it simple!
144 comments:
Papaya shake topped with Nimbu Pani.
Mango slices sandwiched in bread (I discovered they beat mango jam big time)
And the one that 'takes the cake' is....
Maggi Masala cooked in milk instead of water! (Yes I cooked such a monstrosity somewhere in class 9)
Stupiddddddddddd,
How can you do this to Maggi? That is my staple diet! EWWWWWWWWW! How did it taste?
You answered it before asking the question :)
So what do they call equivalent of maggi masala in US?
:: pork with rasam. or maybe it was sambhar... not sure.. will ask vin what it was! :D
:: poha chicken/chhole chicken.
@ Stupid,
EEEKSS!! They had once come out with Maggi SWEET flavor and it was HORRIBLE!!!
Maggi Masala in the US is sold as Maggi Masala in the Indian store? What else did you think?
As for the other grocery stores, they do have RAMEN NOODLES all sold for 10 cents a pack! :)
Mixed fruit Jam mixed with raw sprouted moong (what do they call this in english?)
@ Rayshma,
How odd!! How did you think of such a combination?
@ Stupid,
Bean sprouts!?
vin thought of it. and made it also. i merely ate! :D
Yeah sweet maggi was started even in India.was yuck. Only in Indian stores there? Nestle does not properly have maggi noodles in US?
Anyways I too was a maggi regular, with working mom and all that, but stopped eating Maggi long back after they 'changed' the Maggi.
In recent years they came back saying "The same old maggi is back!"
But I still did not like it after tasting this new 'old' one. Maybe nostaligia phenomenon (hamare zamane mein syndrome) makes me think it was lot better then , even though they might have really started it making it the same).
Have not had maggi in 7 years (except once in college nestle counter with a friend)
@ Stupid,
I cannot imagine life without Maggi. I eat it at least twice a week if not more. I don't remember what the old maggi tastes like. But I miss the "Sweet and Sour" flavor!
I don't experiment much with Maggi but I have once had Maggi between bread slices...
Eeew..
No Re.. Am A Good Cook I Think Atleast..
Can Never Do Such A Torture To Food Items...
:)
TakeCare..
banana wid cooked chana:D(can't rem what chana is called in d queen's lang)
@ Am in Trance,
WHAT! Come on...something..maybe by mistake..maybe someone fed you something weird...
@ Comfortably numb,
Chana as in chick peas?
Damn! How did it taste? Sweet or spicy?
tasted nice actually........bit of both sweet n spicy:D
Chappati with rice.
@ Apoo,
Surely you have eaten at Chipotle..Rice in a chapati is called Burrito there!!
Just to name a few:
Cereal with juice
Banana with rajma (yup, there's a restaurant that serves this)
Kadhi with dhokla
Parle-G biscuits sprayed with water :D (yummm)
Bread crumbs ice-cream
Ginger ice-cream
I am yet to taste the garlic ice cream.
OOOH all that maggi talk reminded me of the 'sweet sour' flavored one. They don't make it any more. Like Goldspot, it's outdated now or rather more from 'hamara zamaana'.
@Sneha, Yup, I too love maggi with bread. :) Tastes quite delicious but you gotta make sure you don't put too much water in it. I just read your comment about the sweet sour flavor. I still remember the logo - it was brown colored like the masala is red. Also, I remember once they had some promotion and they had maggi packs with international stamps in them. Those were the days... *sigh*
Boiled Egg's Yolk mixed with Dal !! And it tastes yummmm :)
My Dad eats Phulkas with a banana and bread with chudwa!!
Curd on one toast,achaar on the other.And,sprinkled with bikaneri sev.Put them together and go 'crrrunch'.:)
Let me read the comments,now..I'm sure the recipes which come up will be good for a fun cookbook.And,Sol..don't forget-I want to know your weirdest food combo too.:)And,while we're on it,why don't you start participating in jeopardy?
Dal chawal sabzi and achar all mixed together with onion slices and then eat that like sabzi with roti...for some reason this used to be my staple diet in m hostel. Sounds gross now.
Cheese burger made with the usual ingredients, PLUS beet root, pineapple and fried eggs.
oh my god...where do I start...hemmm...
wait da minute...maagi in milk! oh my god! and maggi with bread.
ok i give up.
lots of vodka in my chicken dish......!!
@ Arjun,
That's not soooo weird is it?
@ Ghost,
Come on! I am sure YOU have had weird food combinations..tell us!
@ Carolinagal,
WOW!! How did you think of that in the first place?
@ SMM,
No it doesn't! I eat khichdi just like that..ya I know the chapati part sounds a bit gross but still....
@ AmitL,
Oh oh! The winner of Jeopardy is asking me to tell me a weird combination I ate?
Hmm..ok!! Once my friend fed me chicken curry that had tomato ketchup, chocolate syrup, and orange juice in it!!
@ Vrij,
I too eat phulkas with bananas and sugar. I think a lot of Gujjus do that!! :)
I also eat phulkas with yoghurt and sugar!
Bread with chidwa bhi sounds familiar but EGG YOLKS IN DAAL!! That takes the prize!
@ Kanan,
I do not LOVE maggi with bread. I only love Maggi! But once I had gone to my aunt's house and everyone wanted to eat maggi but there was not enough! So they asked us to eat it with bread. That was my first and last time!
Sigh!! Do you remember Maggi in Capsica flavor as well as Prawn flavor. WOW! Loved it so much!!
long island tea + vanilla ice cream + Rosogulla ke sath jo chaashni hoti hai
thei felt thoda metha ho gaya
then i added papad .. and mixed it with leg piece of chicken
What a drink i made that day!
i was really high when i did.. rest of the times m a bit normal!
@ Kanan,
--Cereal with juice
EEEKS!! How and why?
--Banana with rajma (yup, there's a restaurant that serves this)
WHAT? WHERE?
--Kadhi with dhokla
Ok not so unusual!
--Parle-G biscuits sprayed with water :D (yummm)
I am sure someone who left their biscuits out in the rain discovered this.
--Bread crumbs ice-cream
There is actually a flavor like that?
--Ginger ice-cream
I love this one!! I always order it when I go to the Japanese restaurant.
@ Comfortably,
Sounds like Jain food. Was it?
The weirdest thing I have tried is vegetable upma and beetle bug!!!
I was having this really yummy upma at school that my mom made when a big bug flew straight into my mouth and I crunched it.
I am yet to reach the level of consciousness to be able to define the taste.
Idli with tomato-ketchup! Blauugh.. I wonder how I ate it then!
Some weird but deadly combos...
#5. Green chillies with Dim Sum...
#4. Baked potatoes with Sprite & Asfotedia...
#3. Boiled peas in curd & some red chilies + salt + some vermicelli. Deadly combo!
#2. Mexican corn + Rum...
#1. Vanilla Ice cream & Tequila
Actually, that is how cheese burgers are served in Australia. So when I visited a couple of years ago, I had to try one. Wasn't as bad as it sounds :P
@ CG,
OKIE! Will try one when I go to Australia..whenever that is..
@ Iceman,
#5. Green chillies with Dim Sum...
Woh toh normal hai na? Green chilis in vinegar...
#4. Baked potatoes with Sprite & Asfotedia...
EWWW!
#3. Boiled peas in curd & some red chilies + salt + some vermicelli. Deadly combo!
Deadly as in..it kills you?
#2. Mexican corn + Rum...
EH? Your concoction or actually served that way someplace?
#1. Vanilla Ice cream & Tequila
Like a float???????? In TEQUILA? GOSH!
@ Sriram,
Was it really? I have had dhokla with ketchup and liked it!!
@ Ranganath,
EEEEEEEEEEEEEKS! Are you a vegetarian? Did that make you a nonvegetarian instantly?
may be people find this weird... but trust me Rooafza with yogurt tastes awesome :)
@ Neeku,
Oh I can believe it!
Must be like a smoothie or something..
@ ALL,
One of my friends ate gulkand (that gooey stuff that they put in paan) between bread slices that already had cheese, butter, and coriander chutney in it.
i have tried out idle with sauce..and it seems kind of weird..
urs..hemu
:D
Maggi cooked..and then served "in" Pepsi :)
And..
Ice cream..IN miranda..
Er..cos i don't know how to cook (cook well to be precise)..i simply mix two things..
and the two weirdest combos abv taste HEAVEN =P
whats yr take?
chicken dumplings fried in red wine. came out awesome!
I know a family that eat Maggi with curd! EeeeooW!
@ ALL,
One of my friend's roommate's mom made PASTA, apparently. That was served with yoghurt and sev. Go figure!
@ D,
Your answered inspired me to give another real life example of strange food habits.
BTW, was that family gujju?
@ Tuhin,
You can heat wine?????
Apparently you can. They were doing some maintenance work and there was no water when I opened the tap. So I added some red wine to the dumplings instead :D
u r quite an insomniac, BTW!
@ Tuhin,
You too!! Its 2:30 am! You should be out partying!! Ok check your email.
it's middle of the morning here folks... and i'm already losing sleep over the kinda food we all manage to eat!!
@Tuhin
Chicken dumplings in wine sound awesome
btw ever tried corn flakes in cold coffee for the crunchiness?
cant think of it...m very choosy abt food :)
In college, I mixed coffee with tea n came up with Kocha: Koffee+tea. Tasted real good.. However drinks like Frooti n Appy mixed in tea did not go too well :)
I have also had the fortune of having tea with rice in it instead of sugar :D
Rice with coke..
durian jam is so dan awesome, eat it with sticky rice.
fried chicken in baked beans.
tuna, cheese garlic sandwich fried.
mango, fritters, fried rice and mayo, mix em up.
rabbit satay. (dont want to try them anymore).
sardines spicy, stirfried then cooked in 7up and eggs. = heaven. death.
pickle n rice...
Rice with ketchup - didn't like it at all - though I hear lots of people eat it.
Now try eating only the rice with the burrito. That too, the regular Indian white rice, with no flavoring
MAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGI!!Yesssssss...the thing which tastes good with everything...for the bet of MAggi,please visit my blog!!(sorry for the free advertising!!:P)
Scribblers INC.
P.s.-thanks for asking me to come over...I feel so proud to be a part of the maggi club!!:)
I somehow dont mind any combination - just think that its a different cuisine...
but here are few true life "lethal" doses
- grandmom once in state of hurry not wearing her spectacles served us rotis smeared with dishwashing powder instead of flour...had few bites before realizing
- sis of mine put salt in tea instead of sugar recently
- at a thanksgiving partee a potluck someone "baked" apple pie which basically was akin to charcoal and to make her happy we had to have a bite....uggggg...
#3. Boiled peas in curd & some red chilies + salt + some vermicelli. Deadly combo!
Deadly as in..it kills you?
nope it doesnt!, sadly... :|
#2. Mexican corn + Rum...
EH? Your concoction or actually served that way someplace?
My innovation! Works like magic...
#1. Vanilla Ice cream & Tequila
Like a float???????? In TEQUILA? GOSH!
Very much, like a float! :D :P
Hi,Sol..**chicken curry that had tomato ketchup, chocolate syrup, and orange juice in it!!**...even if I ate chicken,which I don't,I still say...arghhh!! You are the winner of this post,definitely.:)
And,yes,I keep looking for some place to say 'Thank You'for selecting my answer for the first Jeopardy question..:)Can't find it- So,let me say it here- Thank you,all!!:)
Sneha, I do remember the capsica flavor. Didn't even know about the prawn one. I don't eat anything that moves so. :P
--Cereal with juice "EEEKS!! How and why?"
Because there wasn't milk one day, and no one wanted to go out to buy it and well, hunger makes you do crazy things so. :)
--Banana with rajma (yup, there's a restaurant that serves this) "WHAT? WHERE?"
The place is called Cha Cha Cha in San Francisco, CA. The dish is called Fried Platanos Maduros in Tapas section.
--Parle-G biscuits sprayed with water :D (yummm) "I am sure someone who left their biscuits out in the rain discovered this."
Very true, it WAS the rain that did it. I love those "hawaai gayela" biscuits.
--Bread crumbs ice-cream "There is actually a flavor like that?"
It was home made and took a group of 10 people about one and a half hour still we couldnt figure it out. Eventually my aunt who had made it gave out the secret. It tasted quite good actually.
Btw, anyone tried sev with ketchup? It tastes very delicious. :)
Just heard about the blast in Abad...hope everyone is fine!
How about fish curry mixed in tea?
Or sambar mixed with Ice cream?
Or Chicken fry mixed with water?
Or Soup mixed with Biscuits? :)
green jello topped with dhaana ni daal ...now top that!
@ Doc,
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT? How come?
@ Aneesh,
Are these hypothetical or did you try these?
@ Kanan,
You too a gujjuben, huh? I know that hawai gayela biscuit taste. I like it too. I also eat hawai gayela cheetos!
Sev with ketchup? I think it might taste a lot like sev-tameta nu shaak with lots of sugar or like american chopsuey with no veggies!
@ AmitL,
Aww you can make that senti speech when I put up your awards in the next day or two.
:)
Did you read my other weird food combinations? I think I am going to put up a poll for this too!!
@ Iceman,
You should open up your own fancy restaurant!
@ Arjun,
What does not kill us only makes us stronger!
Wait! Does this apply here?
@ Ceedy,
Did that baked apple pie waali not realize that it was burnt? HAHAHAH!! I can imagine your expressions when you put that in your mouth! Did your teeth break?
OMG! I cannot stop laughing here.
@ Scribbler,
It is not a MAGGI CLUB! Its a weird food combination post. And you came and advertised maggi and your blog! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...
I Just had chicken pizza with vodka... dunno if its weird... but it made the pizza real sweet... but i am too high to figure that out!!
Cheers!!

@ Urv,
You had tea rice kheer, I see! :)
I have heard of many people have tea and coffee mixed..but how the hell did you think of appie and frooti in it?
@ Daydreamer,
So no experiments for you huh?
@ SMM,
Corn flakes and what?? Oh no! You do that?
@ Arjun,
Its not that bad is it? Gives you ideas for some novelty on your dining table.
@ Aayushi,
That mirinda and icecream is called a FLOAT and I love it!!
But Maggi any other way than what its supposed to be..no no no!!
@ Hemanth,
I told Sriram the same thing..that I have had dhoklas with ketchup and liked it!
@ Abhishek,
*****long island tea + vanilla ice cream + Rosogulla ke sath jo chaashni hoti hai

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! How did you survive it??????????
@ Rahul,
OKKKKK!! So did you specifically do that to write about it in this post or did you do that and then discover this post?
Most importantly, how are you TODAY?
@ COCO,
****peanut butter on a banana
(p/b spread on banana as it were bread : ) delicious!

NO WAY!!!!!!! GOSH!! Where do you find all these things!!?
@ Phantom,
1 # have mix chavaana and cut some onions and add curd to it.
I have heard about this. :)
2 # store tomatoes in the deep freezer and when hard remove them, cut them into pieces, spray on them the powder made of red chilies & salt.
I don't like anything frozen!
3 # cooked rice mixed with rasam and mix sugar in it.
Aaaah...a gujju touch, I suppose.
4 # add horlicks, boost, bournvits, complan, nescafe and add a little water and store it in deep freezer, after it cool and a lil hard, eat it!
WOW!! Will make a nice dessert!!
5 # its my head with a combination of your head...wierd :) :) :) ha ha ha
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS! Did not expect to read that!
How are things in Ahmedabad?
@ Ghost,
Haha!! So the Jughead of blogsville speaks!
Yes, this post is definitely a winner and I might end up awarding the weirdest recipe some sort of a prize too!
@ Keshi,
I have heard of people have raw mango and salt! Yum!
I don't know its an insult to whom... but that what a Vegeterian did in China.
When U see a cooked ( or half cooked) chicken with all its part intact. ( Seems like any moment it will get up and do kuckdoo ko.. ) I bet rice and coke will be the safest choice....
Maggii (masala favour) cooked with some ready to eat indian veggies like palak paneer and aloo mutter ;)
Good to hear that all is well with you family back home in Ahemdabad.
Sorry state of affairs in our country :(
Thanks da :)...i enjoyed your line "i don't like anything frozen"....ha ha ha...seems you like everything hot...yeah hot people like things hot...I like to on mount kailash some day...be cool always......Solitaire, i think, as i see, why are things are so fluid with so many?
About my Ahmedabad:
Ahmedabad is quiet and very silent; this blasts have come as a surprise for Ahmedabadis...people are taken back with this sudden development...no one would have expected something like this (i have put my feelings & thoughts in my blog in rediffiland...google phantom ghost rediffiland)...but then this seems to more of a politics rather then terrorist activity.......i wonder whether this has anything to do with the elections and the confidence vote.......anyways, even if we talk of security concerns or measures to be in place, in a populated country like india where any technology starts with debugging mindsets...its difficult to implement security checks...you see there is a rise in lack of trust in recent years...
God Bless You :)
Cute pic!
Hows your family doing in Ahemdabad?
They're all fine?
Haha!!
What do you wanna believe?
thankfully i didnt have to try it, i just had to look at my frnds' expressions and i knew what never to eat...
kela rabri (eww)
"I like to on mount kailash some day"
correction
"i like to "be" on mountain kailash some day"....the be was missed...that was typographical error...sorry
Was high on college doze :D
bournvita with sugar :))
maggi with achar
nutella with paratha
pizza with chole ya this ones the weirdest
just today evening ... i had an (self proclaimed) exotic smoothie at a juice bar ... which contained milk + yogurt + banana + chocolate + soy + something something ...
milk + yogurt combination looks weird ... but it didn't taste that bad ...
weirdest combo!!!
Doodh ki malai+ cheeni ka sandwitch!!!
Ek time tha jab mein simultaneously kuchh logon ka sar khata tha aur baju mein khade logon ke kan kha jata tha
all dishes in this comment are fictional. Any resemblence to any morsel raw, cooked,hot, cold, frozen, fresh, stale, rotten, eaten, digested or no longer recognisable are purely coincidental.
1) Eno lentil curry (garnish on sizzler to taste)
2) Dink ladu (a marathi sweet made of a particluar type of edible gum) embedded with chewing gum. (The gum of the original dink ladu melts and can be swallowed. How will the brain and tongue deal with that along with a non soluble chewing gum? )
3) Tomato soup with chocolate cake instead of bread crumbs
4) Vanilla ice-cream in tomato (not chocolate) sauce.
Hehe ankur
Doodh ki malai+ cheeni ka sandwitch!!!
That is one of my childhood favourites. Only one difference. The 'bread' I ate it with was the Indian unleavened bread (chapati).
Once tried bread too. Nice and yummy both
Fictional series continues...
Pani Puri but with Pani made of bournvita powder instead of Pani Puri Masala Powder
@ Nitin,
OH NO!! Is it really that bad in China? Did they not have a McDonald's or something?
@ I walk alone,
Kyon kyon? Kyon maggi ka original taste barbaad karna chahte ho?
@ Hiren,
That's more like a yoghurt shake than a smoothie right? I have had fat free frozen yoghurt at the icecream stores here. They do taste just like icecream. I love them!
@ Ankur,
Tera combo sunkar mujhe kuch hone laga. Malai ka naam lete hi I get an upset stomach!
@ Princess,
Oh no! Means maggi, pizza, and nutella...all teen ki vaat!
@ Buzz,
I think that would taste great!!
@ Vandita,
Any rabri...is EWW for me! Forget kela rabri!
@ Urv,
Sahi! Aur kya experiments kiye!
@ Phantom,
Haha! You are funny! Ya, I do not like frozen food and cold people and I would definitely not like to be on Mt. Kailash one day. I like warm food, warm people, and warm climates!!
About Ahmedabad/India; Well, I understand its a highly populated city/country but when the country is put on high alert, there has to be some measures taken for prevention, especially in bigger cities. Whether terrorist or political, all I care about is the safety of its citizens.
@ Aayushi,
Thanks dear.
All fine.
@ Stupid,
Oh no! Have you started hallucinating?
@ Stupid,
all those fictional dishes sound gross!! Do you wanna try and tell us if they indeed are?
Wht hallucination?
Gross if you will actually try out.
Funny if you dont.
Funnier if you imagine your nemesis having them.
Funniest if you feed them to your nemesis blindfolded.
Funny was the idea
So when is the prize distributon ceremony?
What will we be served in the party? ;)
Nice Antique Trophy.
How do we take it home?
sardines aint cat food. dumbo. i mean this is the human sardines. then one that comes in a tin. then there is this tuna in a tin.
@ ALL,
Just found out that one my friends mixes his coffee in the poha and eats it.
Also found out that another friend adds ghee to japanese noodles and mixes that with basmati rice.
@ Stupid,
Transportation of the trophy was not promised.
it wasnt that bad..
i jus puked coz of alcool not this drink :D
Today my husband told me what he had for lunch and that sounded like the strangest combination of foods ever!!!!
