Question Stolen From Tumblr

"name 2 foods with the same ingredients that otherwise bear no similarities whatsoever?"

an example of a reply:

"French Toast & Egg Salad Sandwich"

This reminded me of something: Thespian made a cake for me once, filled with german buttercream and decorated with tuile cookies. German buttercream is built on a pudding base. She noted that the cake, buttercream, and cookies had very similar ingredients lists in very different proortions.

ANd of course, another classic answer: potato chips and vodka.

What arr some others?

Fried green tomatoes and tikka masala?

[minoanmiss]

Hee, that works.

Hee, that works.

Now I kind of want fried green tomato tikka masala. I don't see why it wouldn't work, assuming it wouldn't entail automatic solanine poisoning. I like both of these tastes and they should taste great together.

[minoanmiss]

I think that would be excellent! Sharp-flavored, crisp-crunchy fried green tomatoes would work well with the rich spicy tikka masala sauce.

This is like the logic portion of the GRE. I don't know! *wails*

LOL

Seriously, I'll be interested to see other answers. :D

semolina porridge and raisin bread

White sauce and brioche? And I am betting creamed chopped hardboiled eggs was once a thing, to get the egg in there as well.

[minoanmiss]

I am quite certain I've seen a recipe for creamed hardboiled eggs, so this totally wins. Or we could also do a white sauce enriched with egg yolks, which I've also seen once upon an 1800's cookbook.

Wheat beer and bread, to quote the ancient Egyptians.

Happy Juneteenth!

Beer is liquid bread. :-)
