I generally think nothing should be in the sweet category, and that things unavoidably in that category should endeavor to be as savory as possible anyway to serve my oddball anti-sugar tastes.
So chocolate? No sweeter than is absolutely necessary for out of hand eating, and even less so for cooking with.
And salt and sweet shouldn't mix, with a very few exceptions
What about trail mix? There's nothing like an M&M with salt on it. Mmmmm.
I have learned over the years that some things I'd thought of only in the sweet category can actually work both sides of the divide. Like, cinnamon/lamb. Yum. Fortunatley, I learned that one a while ago.
See, I wouldn't consider this slash, in a sense. It's a love story that happens to be about two guys.
OK. I didn't quite get that, from hit or miss following. I'm all pro-love-story, whoever the players. The relevent parties being both male isn't inherently titillating to me, but it sounds really sweet. Which is really all I ask.
kettle popcorn?
Yes! Brilliant example.
Trail mix, depending, can work for me, too. I think a really good chocolate covered pretzel (I don't usually like them) once opened my eyes a bit, too.
I'm not sure I'd count on that story being sweet, if Lee followed the source at all. Moving, certainly.
Cinnamon in chile-d black beans! Is awesome!
2 cans black beans poured over sauteed onions and garlic. Add green chile, salt, pepper. Let bubble and stir. Add cooked chicken if so inclined. Quickly cover with a layer of cinnamon. Stir. Cook s'more. Mash stuff. SO GOOD.
I got taught the delight of cinnamon in beans by a NO native. It really makes the flavor richer.
(I'm probably offending people six ways from sunday with my non-slash interested thing and associated assumptions. It's just...it doesn't do anything for me. Go yay, no problem with it, it just isn't a personal oomph.)
I was just going to champion chocolate covered pretzels, but you already got there. I like chocolate + nuts of some kind. Preferably cashews and sometimes almonds.
Brokeback Mountain? Not going to be sweet. Probably will be salty.

Will try this very soon. Thank you.
