I tried crazy food mash-ups like tuna/Marmite & popcorn & chilli sauce… a mad combo tasted vile – so would you try them?

NEVER let it be said we Brits aren’t adventurous with our food – because one of our favourite culinary combos is Marmite and tuna.

If that doesn’t sound disgusting enough, how about popcorn dipped in a hot chilli sauce?

Remarkably, these are two of the top ten best weird food mash-ups ­highlighted in a recent survey on behalf of LNER trains.

We asked Sun writer Grant Rollings to put each of them to the test.

Cheese + chocolate

9

THERE are few dishes that aren’t improved by a covering of cheese, but chocolate isn’t one of them.

The problem is that the cocoa totally overpowers the dairy product.

Crisps + jam

9

IT’S not unusual to dip crisps in salsa or avocado, but scooping on a dollop of jam sounds, well, a bit dodgy.

Surprisingly, though, the salt and strawberry spark off each other quite pleasantly.

Chips + milkshake

9

THERE is nothing stirring about this combo – in fact it is half-baked.

Apple + salt + pepper

9

AN apple a day keeps the doctor away, goes the saying.

But I suspect that a dash of blood pressure-inducing salt would cancel out some of the ­benefits.

Pepper, on the other hand, livens up the fruit in a spectacular way.

Avocado + chocolate

9

THANKS to millennials, smashed avocado has become a staple dish in trendy cafes – but combining it with chocolate adds a new twist.

The mash-up of these two opposing tastes, the smooth nutty avocado with the sugary chocolate, definitely works.

Popcorn + hot sauce

9

ON the first try, the hot chilli sauce blew away the popcorn, but a less hearty dip into the sriracha really spiced things up.

If you get the mix of the popcorn and the sauce just right this is a real blockbuster of a snack.

Tuna + Marmite

9

AS a fan of both Marmite and tuna, I was ­looking forward to putting the two ­ingredients between slices of bread.

But the truth is that the salty yeast extract is the only flavour that really comes through, wasting the tuna.

Cheese +bananas

9

THERE are many ways to liven up a  cheese    sarnie,  such  as    adding pickle or sauce.
