Fame and fortune apparently don’t guarantee five-star meals. While we mere mortals are out here having our own eating quirks, celebrities are also creating culinary chaos that they label as their comfort foods. This proves that everyone’s got weirdness in them, even our fave celebrities. Here are 10 weird food pairings from celebrities that they shared with the world.
10. Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Salad Dressing” Drink
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her bizarre dietary habits, and it’s not surprising to learn that some foods she consumes are something that only the actress can take. One of the senior editors of Delish tried to live a week in the actress’s life through her “It’s All Easy” cookbook. With that, she learned that one of her healthy drinks smelled like a salad dressing. The contents? It’s a mix of sesame oil, ginger, coconut sugar, and almond milk.
9. Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Banana-Mayo Sandwich
NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt is also a bit of a daredevil when it comes to his food choices. In a 2016 tweet, he shared that his favorite sandwich is something made of banana and mayo. It turns out, Earnhardt isn’t the only person who enjoys a good banana and mayo sandwich, as GQ saw 9% of their respondents also find the weird combo as delicious.
8. Dua Lipa’s Pickle and Jalapeño Diet Coke
Craving a sweet and spicy Coca-Cola drink? Give it up for popstar Dua Lipa and her weird soda invention. In an Instagram story, she shared her unusual Coke recipe, which consists of Diet Coke, pickle juice, jalapeños, and their brine. The internet may have raised their eyebrows over this weird drink, but they also tried it out for themselves.
7. Gene Simmons’ Cereal with Ice Cubes
If you feel like your cereal milk is getting warm, then do Gene Simmons’ trick to keep it cold. In 2020, Simmons shared on X (formerly Twitter) a picture of a bowl of cereal with ice cubes, asking if anyone else is also adding ice cubes to their cereal. Well, yes, this process seems like getting your cereals watered down with milk, but hey, who are we to judge Simmons?
6. Channing Tatum’s Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Cheetos Sandwich
We all grew up loving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but Magic Mike star Channing Tatum has got the trick to make them cheesier. Simply add some Cheetos in it, just like the sandwich that the actor loved when he was a kid. You can even add the Flamin’ Hot variation if you like, as Tatum didn’t reject the idea.
5. Jennifer Lawrence’s Chili Pizza Sandwich
With a sandwich, you can create endless possibilities, even the most bizarre ones. Jennifer Lawrence created a comfort food of her own, which she calls the Chili Pizza Sandwich. To create this, just take chili noodles and put them between two pizzas. They’re fairly easy to make as it doesn’t involve messing up your kitchen.
4. Adrienne Bailon-Houghton’s Tuna Salad with Fruit Punch
Former Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon-Houghton has a suggestion to upgrade your tuna fish salad recipe, and it’s none other than a fruit punch. Houghton swears by this as it has been her bizarre recipe since her high school years. All you need is a tuna, mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip), salt, pepper, and a fruit punch.
3. Scott Foley’s Peanut Butter Scrambled Eggs
This may be a crazy experiment to some, but apparently, it’s a comfort food for actor Scott Foley. Whip up some scrambled eggs and add some peanut butter. Go ahead and mix them together. Maybe add some bread if you like, and see the magic come into place.
2. Selena Gomez’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Pickles
If you’re a Selena Gomez fan, then you’d know that she loves her pickles. While the popcorn and Tabasco sauce, and salt are among her favorite bizarre snacks, as she shared with Jimmy Fallon, this one involves pickles. Gomez likes to pair them with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. She’ll slice the pickles and place them on top of the Reese’s cup.
1. Dove Cameron’s Brownies with Ranch Dressing
This might be too much even for an adventurous foodie. Actress and singer Dove Cameron loves the weird combination of brownies and ranch. It’s something that she discovered as a child. Many may raise their eyebrows, but Cameron defended the snack as a salty and sweet combination.
