So, I finished reading The Secret Life of Bees over Christmas, and really did quite enjoy it. Just to completely miss the point though, the main character, Lily, apparently likes Coke with salted peanuts in it. I will go and find some to mix myself, but I am curious to know if anyone else has tried it. Everyone I’ve asked so far has just looked blankly until I explained that I read it in a book.

Google turned up a coke and peanut ‘recipe’ which reviews itself favourably and a few other references, but nothing particularly definitive. Anyway, I guess I’ll report back once I’ve tried it.

While we’re on the topic of weird food combinations, I can personally vouch for the following.

Coco pops and Orange Juice - Bad.
You’d think it would be Jaffa, but not so much.

Coffee (black) and Orange Juice - Bad.
Though I wasn’t too big on coffee at the time I tried it

Hot chocolate and chilli powder - Really good.
Stolen from the movie Chocolat.

Chocolate (Cadbury dairy milk) and Salsa - Surprisingly good.
Invented on a dare one time when we ran out of chips
