One of my grandmothers used to like stuffing a few pretzel sticks down a banana. Salt and the crunch with the banana is a surprisingly decent mix of texture and flavor. She called it "Bananas with bones"

I like making PB&J with tortillas, I spread it on then roll it up, it reminds me of those Smuckers uncrustables but better.

I like potato chips and tuna salad. Sometimes if I'm lazy I'll literally throw my potato chips into a bowl of tuna salad and have a delicious salty crunch with each bite of tuna
