What is the most unusual combination of food have you put on one plate at the buffet?

Nothing, because we don't eat in the buffet.  Haven't for several years.

Seal flipper pie.

PB&P sandwich.  Peanut butter and dill pickle.   Love them - particularly at home with organic, unsalted, no sugar peanut butter on toasted oat bread.   Regular peanut butter is so cloyingly sweet. 😠

I would love to know which cruise ship serves those in their buffet.

I can't see the point of putting weird combinations on food on the one plate. The flavours would clash and would not be pleasant to eat. If I want different foods that don't go together I treat them as separate courses, finishing one before going up to the buffet for the next.

My step daughter loves a buffet breakfast  of chocolate muffin... bacon .. and a dollop of yoghurt.. all on the same plate. Not a breakfast that appeals to me 😂😂😂🤑

Sadly I have the same attitude to hotel / cruise ship breakfast buffets as this guy

Congee and a strip of bacon.  I love bacon, but it's bad for me in so many ways that I limit myself to a single piece on occasion.  So I add it to my usual congee breakfast every now and then.

Good thread to show how few people READ and COMPREHEND the question. 🙂

 

Many years ago I spent time at Holloman AFB, outside Alamagordo, NM.

 

There was a Chinese, American, Mexican restaurant on the way into town.  They had a discount buffet one night a week.

 

So I had sweet and sour pork, fried rice, an enchilada, fried chicken, and macaroni salad. 😄

 

Oh, and BTW, not eating at the buffet does not make you a superior person. 🙂

Kind of funny.  Folks around me commonly crumble bacon in congee. I admit I do the same with oatmeal.  One of those spice of life things I guess.  😀

Well, in Scotland it's usual to take your porridge with salt, so crumbled salty bacon's not so different! 🙂

I once tried biscuits with sausage gravy - a dish which seems common at roadside eateries throughout the US South ... truly beyond explanation ...

In the military this was on toast and called SOS. I refuse to tell what it stood for.

Not buffet, but the fancy Brunch Extravaganza.  I saw a man whose plate contained a lot of assorted food, topped with a gooey cinnamon bun, which he then topped with crab legs.  It kind of put me off ever attending one again.

I grew up in the South and we had biscuits and we had brown gravy with country fried steak.  But we never had what you describe but I see it at dang near every casual and not so casual spot.

It was chipped beef.

[Slugsta]

Please will you tell this ignorant Brit what 'congee' is? It sounds too much like 'congealed' for my liking!

Yes, I know.  Mother served it to us.  But would never say it being the proper Southern lady.  Creamed chipped beef on toast.  It was a milk gravy no meat.
