I didn't even know the liquorice + chocolate combo was a thing, and was very irked by it when my Icelandic wife introduced me to it (it's a huge candy trope in Iceland).
I've gotten used to it now, though, and I even enjoy some variants.
Potato chips with Ketchup. No shame, no regrets.
When I first saw someone do this, I was disgusted. Then I was like "how is this different from fries?" And I've been sold ever since.
french fries dipped in mayo? 3/4 Coffee w/creamer 1/4 Diet Dr.Pepper mixed?
Make a bowl of chili, make a peanut butter sandwich, drop the peanut butter sandwich in the bowl of chill, eat it. I think this is a midwestern thing and everybody else thinks I'm nuts until they try it.
One of my favorite foods is piping hot macaroni and cheese topped with cold apple sauce. Everyone I know gives me bad looks, but I quite enjoy it.

Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!
Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.
A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.
I've definitely heard of tomato sandwiches before, and I'd go as far as to say I'd love to try one with a perfectly ripe and juicy tomato. I think I've heard of the bread, cheese, and onion combo before? Either 1:1 or something similar? Ploughman's lunch sorta thing, I think.
But I've never heard of the PB&J with Cheez-Its before. I need to hear the scoop and what the appeal is. I think I could see myself doing it with a less sugary PB and a more savory or spicy jam 👀?
Honestly I dont think cheez-its are super noticable flavor-wise, as with Doritos it's mostly about the crunch!
I do hope you try a tomato sandwich, they are soo good!
Eating a lot of foods with Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper. I have carolina reaper infused sauce, salt shaker, chunky shaker, and whole pods and I would mix them with steak, pork chop, ramen, and so forth. I just like how it enhance the taste in different ways, not for everyone though.

When you've been terribly poor, you get creative.
I once got tired of packet ramen and put some free milk I pilfered from a hotel into the broth to make it more like a creamy sauce. Black pepper and peanut butter can also do wonders. It's not 5 star dining, but it was better than you'd think. Especially after the 8th day in a row eating Raman and stolen fruit.
Ive done it again on the rare occasion, even now that I don't have to. My partner goes green when she sees it.
As I've learned more, I do think it could be made really good for cheap. Make your Raman first, and remove your noodles. Make sure to use whole milk.
If you're using peanut butter, you've got your work cut out for you because it doesn't like to mix. I never tested this, bit I think you'd do well to add bit of extra starch (like corn starch, which is cheap) to better emulsify it. Mix the starch with cold water outside of your pot first to make a slurry.
This is a cheap meal built with not a small number of stolen parts. If you have the cash though, use sesame oil (go slow with it. It's expensive and it's easy to overdo it). I've noticed that the combined nuttiness of sesame oil and peanut butter is much stronger than the sum of its parts.
Eggs are pricey still I think? I used to get them at like $1 for those 32 packs though. Add an egg. If its as cheap as it used to be, they're just free calories and always good with Raman. Doesn't matter how you do it really, but if you're feeling lazy, just put it right in there while the Raman cooks. I'd go towards the end, or you get some ugly strands of egg white I don't love, and it doesn't mix well. Maybe try after the starch slurry?

If I find a good bell pepper, I will eat it whole like an apple.
When I get a beverage/food garnished with an herb like a sprig of mint or rosemary, I like to nibble on them. My friends and girlfriend sort of lost their minds when I took a bit out of a cinnamon stick from a cocktail.
I basically eat all sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels if I can. Eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese for breakfast? Yes. Pastrami and Swiss with mustard and sprouts? Yes. Tuna salad with Swiss? Yes. I get so many weird looks. But whatever. I like it. :)
Creamy polenta with head cheese. Yes, the head cheese melts. And yes, it's delicious.
