Err, what? Ketchup flavored chips hard to come by in the US? I've yet to see a single supermarket that didn't have a large quantity of Herr's Ketchup Chips. And I live in the american Northeast.108.162.216.59 05:00, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

You know what's really good? Ice cream on pizza. Mikemk (talk) 15:23, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

That's a popular summer snack in Tasmania. 198.41.238.32 08:02, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

So nobody puts sour cream on pancakes??? 173.245.54.14 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Joey agrees with that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSFgDZJVYbo 162.158.34.139 15:40, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks I was just thinking of that episode when seeing this comic. Think it deserves a place in the explanation. --Kynde (talk) 21:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, I made a first-hack attempt, with terrible grammar and no appropriate citations. Please don't be too harsh! 199.27.129.83 16:14, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Most of the combinations involving the dairy items are disgusting. 108.162.216.9 19:29, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

If you think sour cream and pancakes is not a traditional combination, you've never been to Russia. We put sour cream in a lot of things, really, but pancakes especially.
That applies almost as well to sour cream and ketchup (though that is just a pair of commonly combined condiments, not a food item in itself).
I do, however, agree with the commentor above (even regarding sour cream).
Incidentally, I had to google "relish" - apparently it's a general term for a big variety of chopped-vegetable items. The Russian name for one particularly common type literally translates as "eggplant caviar". Goes nicely with ham, is applied to pancakes occasionally. --162.158.180.191 20:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

It will be interesting to see if all items will be checked of eventually when people from many different countries comes by? I checked of pancakes and ice cream. I put ice in almost every time I make sweet pancakes. Yummy. But we also have "food" pancakes (not sweat) with meat in them. And I'm note talking about tortillas or burrito pancakes. Made exactly like normal sweet pancakes without sugar and with salt. In The Netherlands they have pancake houses where the toppings is more like that of a pizza, and then after wards they drop on some kind of syrup... --Kynde (talk) 21:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Avocado and ice cream is traditional? Really? I mean, the novelty ice cream places (bacon ice cream, beer ice cream, Tabasco ice cream, you know the drill), sure, but where is that a traditional pairing? ... However, I'm putting in another vote for sour cream with pancakes. Especially if you consider crêpes and associated acts as in the pancake category, so there's the whole world of savory pancakes out there. 108.162.221.7 04:16, 28 November 2015 (UTC)MR

I have removed avocado and ice cream. That cannot be thought of as traditional even if someone actually likes it. I do not know if you could think of pancakes and sour cream as traditional. But again if you think of them both as sweat and food pancakes (as already is the case, then maybe...) I will not list it though as I do not feel it is traditional. But I would also not delete it if anyone else feels it is. --Kynde (talk) 10:41, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

At least five of those alleged "individually good" so-called "foods" - relish, ketchup, cheese, sour cream, and avocado - are absolutely disgusting and would destroy any food value of things they came in contact with. YMMV.108.162.221.33 09:46, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Well I also do not like avocado or sour cream and neither most forms of eggs plus only a few kind of cheese. But I know that many people really love these items, and that would not make it a bad combination to put sour cream and avocado together. I just would not wish to eat it for my personal taste. That I do not like it, does not make it disgusting. But I would be sorry if someone tried to make me eat it. But not get disgusted because other people eat it in front of me. Disgusting things are something like rat or excrements... ;-) And this has to be taken into account before anyone changes the table above. --Kynde (talk) 10:37, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

There's some "almost something I've seen" combinations, in the above. For example, while I've never had Ham And Avocado, Ham And Pineapple is not uncommon. (Of course, now we're also into neighbouring territory of "does pineapple belong on a pizza?" ;) 162.158.152.227 16:39, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
