Food is literally one of life’s joys- I mean, we eat when we’re happy, sad, bored or in a celebratory mood, right? Food can also be a part of a nation’s culture as well as be the centre of the traditional weekly family gathering of some. We, humans, though can never have enough of anything; there’s always the chance to go bigger and better. Thus, here are the deadliest yet yummiest food combinations that foodies around the world have come up with in recent years:
Cronefeh (Croissant + Knefeh):
Like both pastries weren’t heavy enough on their own, right? This hefty dessert first appeared in Lebanon and soon found a home in some Dubai-based patisseries. All we can say is: Bring. It. On. Over. To. Cairo. Pronto!
Gelato-Stuffed Donuts:
God help us because we think we just got diabetes only by looking at pictures of this sugar-filled treat that was only introduced to the world THIS month… Or rather to Australia- those lucky Aussies!
Pizza Cake:
Move on over, deep-dish pizza, there’s a new kid on the block. So what is this pizza cake, you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of layered pizzas that you cut into like a cake. Is your mouth watering yet? Well…VINNY’S HAS IT, OKAY? Yes, THE Vinny’s that’s Cairo-based. You’re welcome.
Macaron Glace:
No, not MARRON glace- Macaron Glace aka a macaron gelato sandwich.. Tempting, huh? Well, we’re fans of this combination since both desserts are kind of, sort of light and fluffy so we can stuff our faces with both of them at the same time without feeling like we just ate ourselves into a coma. It’s also available in Cairo, Hallelujah! Just head on over to Gelato Mio.
Churro Waffles:
*Sigh* all is well on earth- this dessert just proves that! This delicious-sounding treat is basically what you get when you bake the churro batter as you would while making normal waffles.. GENIUS!
Pizza Burger:
Aka the Instant-Artery-Blocker, if you know what we mean. It was first introduced back in 2013 by a Boston-based restaurant and it featured a bacon cheeseburger wrapped up in a pepperoni pizza that replaced your good old bread buns. How many calories are in this massive baby? 1360. Several other variations have since been created by eateries around the world, including Cairo’s very own Kook’s and Bigg’s. Again, you’re welcome!
To wrap this deliciously sinful article, who cares about calories when any of those combinations is in sight, right? No, we’re kidding, take care of your healthy diets folks, but you can always have a cheat meal every now and then and let one of those crazy combinations be what it revolves around. Happy eating!
