I can't sleep and just dived into the sweet herrings for a midnight(ish) snack. Feeling a little unsatisfied I very nearly had a spoon of double cream (I know ).

But just in time it occurred to me that the vinegar of the herrings would probably curdle the cream and give me the gip!

Not sure if it would have? And got me thinking to whether anybody knows of things you really should avoid mixing, and why?

The acid in your stomach is stronger than any you'd eat or drink.

Mints and wine. I ate some mint chocolates recently, took a glug of wine and it was vile.

sour cream and sweet pickled herring is a rather good combination to my mind. So long as the fish isn't too vinegary.

I always seem to remember having to avoid orange juice after eating wotsits, that was particularly vile.

I once discovered that orange juice with ........bits was ..... not something I would ever try again

Also an orange / or orange juice and then milk did not want to stay put for long either

I not so long ago [ Last summer ] I had Cheerios for the first time
with some cold milk not too long before going to bed

OMG it was horrendous
like a sea of milk with a hundred life rings sloshing about
I experienced for the first and last time in my life
VILE ACID reflux of the worst kind- ALL night longgggggg~

I can't explain the science behind (if indeed there is any hard fact in what I feared and others also have experienced), but there are definitely some combos that don't mix IMO

sour cream and sweet pickled herring is a rather good combination to my mind. So long as the fish isn't too vinegary.
Hmm. Good point. I don't know what stopped me really... something said 'No!'.

See this and the other examples everyone's added is what I mean.

I *know* not to follow my burrata addiction (or any dairy) with any fizzy liquid, ever! Results in ChoccyCarole's experience for me

I had a German boyfriend years ago, who used to drink pints of half orange juice, half coke. Also beer + coke, beer + orange juice, and coke + apple juice.
