It's not weird at all. Chocolate and salt go great together. Add some creamy caramel and it's heaven. If you're near a Trader Joe's you must find their Dark Chocolate Caramel with Black Sea Salt Bar. I'm pretty sure they're made by Vosges Chocolate, the fancy chocolatier from NYC. They have some really amazing products.

I second that. I also love their dark chocolate covered caramel and wish they'd add a bit of salt to that as well, it would be amazing.

I just made a pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, pesto, pistachios, red pepper flakes, thyme and spinach. It was super tasty.

There are few things in the world I love more than the combination of chocolate and salt. One of the things I miss most about the US is the amount of peanut butter-chocolate products. (Aka actual food of the Gods.) Stupid Britain never really got on the sweet-savoury together train.

tszuj, dahling, this is something I buy probably every couple of weeks and I have to force myself to eat a little at a time.
Ok, now I will be buying one today. It's heaven.
Oh how strange...here's their UK website and you're right, you can buy fruit flavors and cognac and irish coffee but no chocolate and salt.

What kills me is that the Dutch love peanut butter and they love chocolate, but they often think it's weird to put them together. Fortunately, it's easy enough to get my fix by eating bread with pb covered in hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles). My other favorite chocolate/savory combo is popcorn and raisinettes. A friend and I would get them when we'd go to the movies and eat them together. Yum!

I'm out of pb today, so I just had some bread and yummy Nutella. Maybe I should have sprinkled some salt on it.

Lunch was tuna salad on a mini tortilla, along with some coleslaw. Dinner is steak, fries with mayo, and more coleslaw. Nothing fancy, but certainly satisfying!

They can come sit next to me. I love PB and I love chocolate, but I think it's gross to mix them (the worst offender, of course, being Reese's Peanut Butter Cups — I think they're disgusting, and hubby does not understand me at all). I can't do anything that combines the two. It just tastes odd to me. I don't know. I'm a freak. Don't listen to me.

FREAK!!! FREAK!!!!!!

Just kidding. I'm that way about pb and banana. I like both individually, but can't stand even the thought of the two together. Banana and actual peanuts, yes. Banana and pb?

[kateln]

See, I hate fruit or fruit flavors in almost any context other then as a piece of fruit. Banana? Great on it's own (or with peanuts) but Banana Pudding, Banana Cream Pie, Bananas Foster? Just Blech.

That said--chocolate and peanut butter is the best stuff on earth. But I too, love sweet and salty together.

I made homemade granola a few days ago, and finished it off on oatmeal today. Yum.

I am the other way around - I hate bananas but like banana-flavoured anything.

Today, I am mostly eating Coffin Cake! Hurrah for Hallowe'en!

I ate like crap today.

Breakfast was a piece of cheese, and those little chocolate-filled panda cookies, a donut hole, and some cinnamon tea.

Lunch was some mujadera, a piece of toast with more cheese, and a McRib value meal. (No joke.)

Dinner was a cheese and jalapeno tamale, and puff pastry baked with granny smith apples dusted in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg topped with whipped cream from a can.

It's probably no wonder I have indigestion right now, huh? Tomorrow's going to be better - I have the makings for slow-cooker beef and barley soup in the fridge.
