Anyone who's ever tried a peanut butter and pickle sandwich or a bacon-fried Oreo knows that the best flavor pairings often come as a total surprise. But why stop with a singular taste test when you could make entire breakfasts, lunches and dinners of weird yet delicious flavor mashups?
When you can't bear the thought of another boring night of chicken and veggies, it's time to spice things up with abandon. We've rounded up some seemingly bizarre flavor pairings from chefs and food bloggers; they may look incredibly strange, but they taste so great, you'll wonder what you ever did without them. Get cookin'!
PEANUT BUTTER + CURRY 
Humphry Slocombe, the legendary San Francisco ice creamery, has mastered this smooth yet spicy concoction. Make your own for dessert, no matter which coast you're on.
GOAT CHEESE + STRAWBERRY 
Tomato who? Bruschetta's true calling turns out to be goat cheese, strawberry and a splash of balsamic on toast.
COFFEE + LEMON 
Try it in a coffee granita, an Italian specialty in which frozen, slushy coffee meets lemon zest and whipped cream.
COCONUT + EGG 
Mornings get a sweet, tropical kick from a coconut oil scramble. Top your eggs with coconut shavings and syrup for ultimate bliss.
LAVENDER + WHITE CHOCOLATE
Never has a pair been more refined. Celebrate the delicate natures of lavender and white chocolate by swirling them together in a rich little macaron.
PINEAPPLE + CHEESE 
When melty meets sweet, they can't be beat. Caramelized pineapple quesadillas are a flavor explosion you never saw coming.
BANANA + BACON 
Elvis would be proud of these sweet and salty banana pancakes with crispy bacon.
TUNA + ORANGE 
Hear us out: tuna with orange is the new black.
ROSEMARY + NECTARINE 
Test drive this combo in a whiskey sour, on an upside down cake, or atop a goat cheese tart.
