Toasti with applesauce
Dipping your sandwich in applesauce is a bit like dipping fries in a milkshake. Many people simply find the combination of sweet and salt very tasty. Maybe you used to eat a sandwich with fries and applesauce on the side as a child. The combination may also have something nostalgic.
Ice cream with olive oil and sea salt
Ice cream itself is quite greasy. Adding olive oil makes it even fattier, but also makes it even tastier. With healthy olive oil the ice cream tastes even creamier. The sea salt further enhances the deliciously sweet taste of the ice cream. Even Dua Lipa loves this crazy food combo. So it’s really worth a try.
Chicken and pickle juice
Some people drink pickle juice separately after the pickles are finished. That may be a bit strange, but combine this with chicken? Apparently these two flavors go very well together.

This way you can properly incorporate the flavor into the chicken without it being too overpowering.
