At the risk of sounding like a monster, I can't think of a single main/side I wouldn't combo.
Can you give an example that doesn't go together?
All I can think of off the top of my head would be different food styles in a buffet. Like sweet and sour chicken + sauerkraut or something along those lines. I love them both in their own context, but wouldn't put them on the same plate at the same time.
I'm unfamiliar with a restaurant that would serve both sweet and sour chicken, and sauerkraut. Does one exist?
Hometown Buffet, back before it closed.
Their chocolate milk taught me how to burp on command. I remember sitting at the table and taking a big drink which suddenly gave me insight to how it would work, so I did and tossed the biggest belch I’d ever made out there on the table. My eyes went wide and I looked up at my parents and just yelled ‘I figured it out!’ Their faces of disgust slowly changed to faces of confusion while I was just laughing and cheering and belching.
Food courts also often have varied options (pay by weight)
It was a random example of two very different types of food types.
Yesterday I was eating some miso soup and then was offered a grilled cheese. I had a grilled cheese and miso soup for lunch.
Not the classic combination you might think.
