I've done sharp, but both would be good. My wife's pie is insane.
Strange food pairings.

My wife's apple pie is REALLY good as well except for one thing. I wish she could do differently. She has to use butter in the crust instead of lard. It is good but oh boy I'd love if she could use lard

Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches were a staple when we were kids. Nobody seems to like the idea, but most that try it love it.
Miriam was a purist when it came to pastry. After many years, I finally got her to use half butter and half lard in pie crusts.

The issue for her is a pork allergy. Not the taste. When we first got together she would eat pork (occasional chops and bacon) but every time she would become sick. She didn't put 2 + 2 until one day mentioning it to the doc. They ran an allergy test and found there is a compound in pork and oddly enough the same compound in salmonoid fish that she's quite allergic to. Helluva curse

Then there's the Elvis sandwich.

Elvis's Favorite Sandwich is the King of All Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Elvis Presley's favorite peanut butter sandwich is loaded with peanut butter, banana, optional bacon and honey, and griddled until golden brown and gooey inside.

I figured as much.
Of all things to be allergic to, a pork allergy would suck. I'd starve to death.

I'll say. Menu planning is a PIA
Oddly enough..... ran into someone here in town who has a similar sensitivity this week. Okay, not doing pulled pork for you. How about brisket instead?

Probably not a strange pairing, but it's a must for me. When I make baby back ribs I have to have baked beans and homemade potato salad with them.

Okay, this isn't really odd: Salted tomato sandwich on white bread with just mayo.

Many years ago, back in the days when I supposedly "didn't inhale" I'd "not inhaled" WAY too much. Came home and had the weirdest craving for ice cream with green martini olives in it. Well let's just say that did not stay where it was supposed to be. Quite "colorful" really
