A carb overload: Pizza sandwiched between buttered bread
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp/Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
Ah, to be young and able to eat all the carbohydrates without any guilt...

Bizarre food combinations are often associated with pregnancy cravings, but let’s be honest – everyone has their own odd culinary quirks.
Beyond the usual food cravings, some food pairings are so unexpected that they leave us questioning people's commitment to carbs. And while sweet-and-salty combos are a well-known guilty pleasure, this one truly caught us off guard.
A TikTok video shows a young man buttering two slices of bread – despite having a full box of pizza right in front of him.
The real question is: why on earth would anyone choose buttered bread over pizza?
But then, he did something that left us completely baffled – he took a slice of pizza and sandwiched it between his buttered bread.
In South Africa, buttered bread isn’t just a backup meal; it’s a staple. Many people can’t go a day without their buttered bread and tea.
But pairing with pizza? That's a combination we don't quite get. Then again, who says you can't have your bread buttered and your pizza too...
