3."It's three ingredients, but white rice, soy sauce, and a banana. I prefer the mini bananas, but they aren't always available. It was a staple food in my household when I was growing up because we were poor. It stills slaps, though!"

4."Corn dogs dipped in mayonnaise."

5."Fish sauce and caramel. Similar to salted caramel but with another depth of flavor thanks to the umami from the fish sauce. The sweet and salty combination goes great on desserts like ice cream and basque cheesecake."

6."Gumbo with a big scoop of potato salad in it. This isn’t weird at all if you’re from Louisiana, but I’ve had other people say it’s extremely weird."
