How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris might be a big Hollywood celebrity, but it turns out he has some quirky food choices like all of us. This is particularly the case with his go-to sandwich that combines almond butter, jelly, and nacho cheese-flavored Doritos.

Harris recently wrote a piece for New York Magazine’s Grub Street section in which he detailed his eating habits during a five-day period. One of those days, Harris decided he wanted a snack, so he made himself his favorite sandwich.

“For a snack, I went with an English muffin with almond butter and jelly. Plus, my favorite addition: nacho-cheese Doritos in the sandwich itself,” Harris wrote.

He went on to explain that Doritos add “umami and a crunch” to the sandwich.

“You get the brightness of the nacho cheese to balance out the almond butter and the jelly,” he added.

Harris himself realizes that the sandwich might be controversial for some, but it isn’t discouraging him from enjoying it.

“I think it’s magnificent, while others wince,” the Emmy Award-winning actor concluded.

Learning about Harris’ unusual dietary habits definitely makes us feel better about the questionable food creations we like to eat. And we will definitely be trying his sandwich recipe. How about you?
