New York Times Story Prompts Crazy Combo Confessions

Call me hopelessly old-fashioned, but I still get The New York Times tossed at my front door every morning and Wednesday's my favorite day of the week for juicy reads in the Dining section.

Today, I nearly spit my coffee out, laughing, as I read about reporter Dwight Garner's peculuar penchant for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, pictured here in a photo from the newspaper. Who knew?

The funniest part of this revelation was that the author of this true confession was hardly alone. On the Times' Web site's Diner's Journal blog, reader comments have been trending toward: Oh, I've been eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches for years.

This seems to open the floodgates for others to serve up their wacky creations such as chocolate and garlic or bananas dipped in Miracle Whip. These odd couples sound flat-out strange, but, hey, to each her/his own!

What's your go-to crazy combo?
