For me, it's the combination of salty and sweet foods! Not to mention the textures.. crunchy/chewy with sticky/runny?
Sure, I can think of combinations which work, but they're all chocolate bars. Hmm, I wonder if this has any relation to us (Aussies) not being brought up on peanut butter and jam sandwiches?
Gammon with honey and pineapple.
Damnit, if anything could make me eat meat again, it would be that.
The salty/sweet combo is yummmmmmmy!
Re: Oreos: the POINT of eating Oreos is to dunk them in milk (PLAIN milk!) until they are so soggy you have to dig them out with a spoon. Deposit in mouth. Consume entire box. Repeat.

I'm as English as you like, but when I was five years old and went to the US for the first time, pancakes'n'maplesyrup'n'bacon was a tastebud revelation. Mmmmmmm. But then, I'm very partial to that salt/sweet thing. It's what I love about Digestive biscuits. It's a yin/yang flavour whammy.
Also the crunchy/gooey dichotomy - makes me a happy bunny. Thus Haagen Dazs Pralines'n'Cream remains my favourite, despite the loveliness of many other flavours, because it weds salt with sweet and gooey with crunchy in a fashion that makes me very, very happy.
....Mmmmmmm

Have just seen "Beneath Me". I can't quite articulate why, but I was absolutely
bawling
at the end. Brilliant stuff.
Oops! Do I have to stay out of this thread now for the next
t checks clock
two hours? I don't know the unAmerican rules, sorry!
(And ooh, I'm so glad it's a good one. The reports of this season so far have been glowing, and I'm SO excited to be finally getting to see it!)
Kate, to be honest, I don't think that's ever come up in this thread before...well, come to think of it, we've never had anyone posting from Perth! So we haven't actually worked out the rules, but I'll just shut up about the ep for the next couple of hours.

My good friend Gary is friends with the woman with the dog in that episode. I assured him that she was not only good, but got quite a bit of play for a small role.
