I just got an imitation recipe for Olive Garden's Bruschetta. 'Course, there's not much to it anyway. Haven't tried to make ciabatta bread yet but other breads work too.

Any combination of tomatoes, garlic, basil and oregano (ie---with mozzarella, or olive oil, or on Italian bread, etc). This is a good way to dress up boring canned tomato soup...add pasta if some leftover is around... Hummus, pitas, celery, and carrots.
French Fries and malt vinegar, with a little salt.
Buffalo wings and celery.
I can't think of any gourmet foods....I'm a poor college student who works in a grocery store deli---what more do you want?

I can't remember who got me dipping my french fries in a McDonald's shake. This was before I became a "mental health consumer". I don't do stuff like that in public anymore.

Graham cracker sandwiches with chocolate frosting and peanut butter. Especially chunky peanut butter. In fact, I think I need one right now. . . .

black pudding and bacon in a sandwich made with really cheap and trashy white bread.
My mum's lasagne, and spring rolls.
My mum's bacon and opnion roll, with honey roast parsnips.
prosciutto del speck ham or german black forest ham with philadelphia and butter on digestive biscuits.
bread sauce with pretty much anything.
deep filled pizzas and the spicy chicken drummers the local junk food takeaway provide.
I am currently at university on full board, and thus have not had any of those things for over a month *sniff*

crap, just when i thought i was normal.
as much as i like having days off, i hate missing a day of this forum because theni feel bad about bringing threads from past page one back to the top but to quote porcelain girl
quote: oh my gosh. food makes me so happy.
so you all get to deal. i'll try to make it worth your while.
i tried to start a thread on this once, but thought better of it. the five basic food groups in my world are:
beef bacon cheese peas chocolate
however, as far as foods that go together:
beer and cheesecake pea soup and rice pork chops and applesauce sandwiches with doritos inside peas and newman's own balsamic vinagrette (ok, so how do you spell that in english?)
and now, a recipe:
my newly former roommate likes to things that fall under the encompassing title of 'ghetto casserole'. her latest experiment was to make mac 'n cheese, put it in the bottom of a casserole dish and put a bisquick/pea/cut-up chicken patty mixture on top and bake it. surprisingly good.
ok, i'm done. the thread can die now.

Hawaiian pizza--pinapple and bacon. Not from one of the national chains, they all use canned pineapple and either cheap bacon or ham or canadian bacon. Fresh pineapple and decent bacon are needed, preferably hickory-smoked. It sounds gross, but pineapple, bacon, mozzaralla, tomato sauce and crust blend together scrumptiously. I haven't had it in too long.

graham crackers with leftover homemade buttercream frosting--My mom made this for my siblings and me as treats, and we used to have knock-down, drag-out fights over who got to lick the beaters, bowls, and spoons
Brie cheese, triscuits, and green apple slices
Celery, peanut butter, and raisins--Ants on a Log!

I used to eat this for supper at school when I was about eight years old - Take two pieces of bread. Spead marmite on one side of bread and chocolate spread on the other. Now squish them together and eat them. I don't know why this is nice, but it's something about the salt and sugar mixed together.
However, you really need to be eight years old before you're prepared to try things like that. I'd never be able to eat that now.

The French have discovered one chocolate combination we really need to pick up on - chocolate and pears.
And of course the marriage of hazelnut and chocolate happened years ago in Europe but has yet to be acknowledged in America. Here, the closest we can get is a can of Nutella with Kobe on the front.

Yes, hazelnut and chocolate! I prefer Cote d'Or Chocolate - Dark Chocolate with Praline of Hazelnut! I also like a good chocolate/hazelnut spread on bread or toast. I suppose part of the reason is my Belgian half.

Dark chocolate goes splendidly with raspaberries. Any one who does not like a rich dark chocolate custard topped with raspaberries is criminally insane and should be isolated to protect the rest of the populations.
I also think that Idli go well with a spicy fresh tomato soup.
The worst food combination is mints and orange juice. Never ever drink OJ after brushing your teeth with a minty toothpast.

Is that why it is so nasty? I knew to not combine the two, but I hadn't connected the mint to the horridness of clean-teeth orange juice.

Cote d'Or Chocolate is to die for. I prefer the 70%. The Callebaut milk chocolate is also superb. I prefer the milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts and the dark chocolate with either hazelnut praline or marzipan.

What are raspaberries? Is that another word for raspberries? Which one is more legitimate?
Whatever; if they're raspberries, I don't like 'em on anything, but I think they would be even worse in conjunction with chocolate.

Icky, I don't like them unless there aren't seeds involved... the seeds are what I hate about them. That's why rasberry fudge is SO good. And i like neither rasberries nor fudge.
I can't eat any sweet baked good without a HUGE glass of almsot frozen milk. Not having really cold milk is what I hate aobut living in a dorm.

The Rabbit - You'd probably like my rasberry brownies. I make them around the holidays every year. They are very rich (made with dark chocolate and seedless rasberry jam). I've made the milk chocolate version before mostly for the in-laws and wife but it is not the same. Dark Chocolate and Marzipan. Yummm!
Of course, milk is necessary with any chocolate item (cake, brownies, chocolate chip cookies and etc.). Dr. Pepper can be substituted at times but is not better than milk.
