This has been suggested by one of our readers. She has tried it herself, but was impartial to the outcome. I think it would be wonderful if another one of our readers could review this invention. Please post your reply as a comment.

Coastal Sand-wich

Sit in a chair with a view of the ocean and the beach. Consume the coastal combination.

These ingredients were all we had at the cosat house, that were applicable to sandwich making. I could have made two sandwiches. One with peanut butter and honey and the other with the salady goodness. Instead I combined the two as we didn’t have much bread left. Something about the hot sun, ocean breeze and the sound of waves crashing made this sandwich scream to be added to the menu for prisoners on death row.

The grapes added a … watery sweetness while the avocado, bacon and other salads drive the overall nutrition of this sanga. The peanut butter and honey made the sandwich feel like my grandmother had made it. Very homely. And coastaly.

• turkish delight ice cream

Grab a spoon. Scoop a spoonful of ice cream and sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Then devour the spooncoction in one go.

This is an interesting combo I thought was going to make me a million dollars. Imagine buying an ice cream at the petrol station with yummy ice cream dotted with grated cheese!! Unfortunately I heard souls celebrating in Hell when I ate my double dairy disaster. I can’t recommend you try this one at home.

Ice cream mash

On a recent trip to Melbourne from Canberra, we stopped at a truck stop near Hole-brook – the place with the stupid non-sub-but-really-land-marine.

Ingredients:

• someone else’s hot chips
• your own ice cream – in this case I was eating a lime Splice.

Method:

Steal a chip and place it in your mouth followed by a really quick bite of your ice cream. Then masticate and smile.

Note: Gravy adds an extra dimension to this flavour sensation.

~
This was very tasty. I like the hot chip goodness followed by the icey cold creamy goodness. After 5 attempts, the novelty wore off. This is a good combination if used in moderation. Especially if the company you keep aren’t used to your bizzare eating habits.

Fruity meat

Ingredients:

• A cabanossi stick
• A segment of orange

Method:

Take a bite of the cabanossi. Take a bite of orange. Chew together; then swallow (if you can manage it).

This discovery is for the good of mankind for centuries to come.

I stumbled across this one night after boozin’ on for hours at a gig. I got home and realised there wasn’t much to eat … so I drunkenly chopped up an orange. In the process of getting home, I’d woken my housemate who got out of bed to greet me … she went to the fridge and pulled out some cabanossi for a midnight snack. After some brief conversation I stole a bite of her cabanossi while she wasn’t looking; then I hastily took a large bite of an orange segment.

What followed was … unspeakable. My housemate, realising what I had done, began laughing – not realising the extent of psychological damage I was causing myself. I stared off in the distance and kept chewing. My face contorted and tears began rolling down my cheeks. I had begun crying. Not from laughing, or from pain … but from sheer psychological distress. My brain felt that crying would be the best way to deal with such a bizarre flavour overload.

This near-lethal combination of meat and fruit could be served at a child’s party. Especially if you have an intense dislike for the child in question. I also hear that this ’snack’ has been served to detainees at Guantanamo Bay detention camp as a means of interrogation.

Arabic Chocolate Surprise

Ingredients:

• Tim Tams – original + entire range of flavours
• Hommus

Method:

Open Tim Tams packet. Open Hommus container. Take a Tim Tam. Dip the Tim Tam in Hommus; then eat.

You may want to experiment with how much Hommus you use … everyone has different taste boundaries. I like too much Hommus more than not enough.

~
There is something amazing about chick peas and garlic melting in your mouth alongside rich chocolate. I know most people’s reactions are ‘ewwwwwww gross’ but if you can break a few of the rules imposed upon us by society – I strongly recommend breaking out the Tim Tams + Hommus next time you have guests over.
