I just put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in my bowl of chili and my roommate looked at me like I grew a second head. | Controversial Comfort Foods

The cold, sweet creaminess cuts right through the spicy heat and makes the whole thing feel like a weird, cozy hug, but has anyone else tried a combo that sounds awful but just works for them?

That weird cozy hug feeling is so real, I do peanut butter on my burgers.

My grandma used to put a slice of cheddar cheese in her apple pie before baking it. The salty tang with the sweet fruit was amazing. What is it about those sweet and savory mixes that feels so right when it should be so wrong?

Oh man, I read about people putting peanut butter on burgers like @paigep20 said, and it totally makes sense. My weird one is dipping french fries in a chocolate shake.
