An office conversation sparked the question - with two reporters sharing their love for frozen grapes and dipping salted chips into a thick and creamy milkshake.

But after putting the question to our Facebook audience, we were intrigued (and occasionally revolted) by the confessions flooding the comment section.

Natalie Stimpson undeniably took the top spot for the strangest food combination.

She said: "When I was pregnant I dipped sardine and tomato paste sandwiches into hot chocolate and cream."

This quickly prompted responses from other readers branding it as "absolutely disgusting" - don't knock it until you try it though perhaps?

A few readers shared their love of Weetabix smothered in butter and sugar - mild compared to the previous combination.

It also seemed Marmite on it's own was enough to be considered a guilty pleasure, but Paige Ripley took it a step further.

She admitted that her Marmite on toast will often be dunked in a fresh cup of tea.

Another pregnancy craving causing outrage was submitted by Emma Kellar.

She confessed: "When I was pregnant with my now 14-year-old, I would eat Mars Bars with spaghetti bolognese!"

Many bread combinations were also revealed - salad cream sandwiches, cheese and jam sandwiches and marrowbone or beef dripping on bread.

Dorita Dahl-Foreman shared two of her top recommendations for the daring eater.

She shared: "Blue cheese on gingerbread and pickled gherkins on liver pate are both delicious."

Jules Mcnamee also revealed a love for shortbread biscuits and mayonnaise.

However, it was Denver Kennedy who sparked absolute controversy for enjoying tomato ketchup on his roast dinner - I must admit I am also guilty of this one!
