You ever try something ridiculous in the kitchen that worked out?

I ask because I just reduced a bunch of red wine and put it into my ketchup bottle.

It's actually pretty good. It did about what I expected and gave the ketchup a fuller body.

    A friend has vegemite and peanut butter on toast. I think you need the pasted sugary PB for that to work because you get the salty/sweet combo. I tried with plain PB and it sucked so bad.

    A coworker also said they used to eat ground coffee (not instant/soluble) sprinkled over icecream. The flavour combo is there, I can see, but I don't know about the texture.

      It's just sort of crunchy, similar to topping it with like cookie crumbs or something. It soaks up enough moisture that it's not like a hard desiccating powder once you've got it in something like ice cream. Like the overall effect is literally "what if you put some kind of crumbled up coffee flavored cookie on ice cream."

        I imagined a grainy, unpleasant texture, like coffee dregs but the crunch sounds nice! Will try.

      ground coffee can work. I remember getting chocolate covered whole coffee beans as a kid once, they were pretty good. I could imagine that being pleasantly crunchy.
