Unusual, weird, and bizarre food combos are nothing new. We probably all have some food pairings that we enjoy, but that probably don’t sit well with others. And celebs are no different.

Thanks to social media, we have learned in past years that certain celebs like to go a bit crazy with their food and pair up things that seem like they don’t belong together. For example, Magic Mike star Channing Tatum likes to add Cheetos to his peanut butter and jelly sandwich, while pop megastar Selena Gomes likes to garnish her popcorn with Tabasco sauce and pickle juice. But, as it turns out, actors and singers are not the only celebs that like to experiment with food—celebrity chefs do it as well.

Jamie Oliver recently went on Instagram to ask his followers about their “dirty little secret snacks” and in the post, he shared his own secret snack that he called “filth & genius”.

According to Oliver, he enjoys munching on salt & vinegar Hula Hoops (a popular UK snack made out of potatoes and corn) stabbed into thin slices of Westcombe cheddar cheese. He pairs this combo with a glass of double whiskey.

It’s safe to say that Oliver’s followers fell in love with his snack combo and were eager to try it. Some even called it “magnificent”, and others recommended the celebrity chef to write a new cookbook titled “Dirty Little Secret Snacks”.
