LOOK: THESE 5 ODD FOOD COMBINATIONS WILL TICKLE YOUR TEXAS TASTEBUDS

Chocolate and Avocado

Who would think that the creamy texture of avocado would go along with chocolate? It's said this pairing works great in desserts, adding some velvety goodness that’s both nutritious and delicious.

Chili and Chocolate

Every Texan should try this at least once. Bringing together the fiery pep of chilies with the sweetness of chocolate equals a delicious blend of spicy and sweet for some. This combination has roots going back a long time.

Bacon and Chocolate

Salty and sweet is always a great pairing, but bacon and chocolate takes things to the next level. The crispy, smoky notes of bacon collide with the smooth, sweet taste of chocolate, making it a popular duo.

Pineapple and Blue Cheese

This pairing may be less popular, but the tanginess of pineapple perfectly complements the boldness of blue cheese. It's refreshing yet hearty. Give it a go sometime.

Apples and Cheese

Another combination that's been around for a while. The crispness of apples and the creaminess of cheese create a nice, smooth balance. Some enjoy it as a snack or even a dessert. Either way, this pair offers a mix of textures and flavors.

Diving into the world of unusual and strange food combinations can be an awesome experience filled with unexpected pleasure. These five duos, while a bit strange, spotlight possibilities you get when different flavors and textures meet.
