For example:

When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

If I can't eat a combination of the main dish and a side, the side doesn't go with the main dish. Lucky for me, that is generally the case with most foods.

Desserts are the exception, but I don't count them as sides.

At the risk of sounding like a monster, I can't think of a single main/side I wouldn't combo.

Can you give an example that doesn't go together?

All I can think of off the top of my head would be different food styles in a buffet. Like sweet and sour chicken + sauerkraut or something along those lines. I love them both in their own context, but wouldn't put them on the same plate at the same time.

I'm unfamiliar with a restaurant that would serve both sweet and sour chicken, and sauerkraut. Does one exist?

Hometown Buffet, back before it closed.

Their chocolate milk taught me how to burp on command. I remember sitting at the table and taking a big drink which suddenly gave me insight to how it would work, so I did and tossed the biggest belch I’d ever made out there on the table. My eyes went wide and I looked up at my parents and just yelled ‘I figured it out!’ Their faces of disgust slowly changed to faces of confusion while I was just laughing and cheering and belching.

It was a random example of two very different types of food types.

Food courts also often have varied options (pay by weight)

Yesterday I was eating some miso soup and then was offered a grilled cheese. I had a grilled cheese and miso soup for lunch.

Not the classic combination you might think.
