What are two things that are good on their own but bad when combined? And bad things that are good when combined?

I just learned about "Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)".

I'm sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.

Doesn’t cheese sauce + pasta = mac and cheese? Do you not like mac and cheese?

It is mac and cheese, and I find its texture strongly disagreeable. Same deal with the soft yolk egg with rice.

Just personal preferences, mind you.

Understandable. I have a strong aversion to lots of foods based solely on the texture, but thankfully, mac and cheese is not one of them!

Also very subjective: I would not say cheese sauce is good on its own. I only eat it with tortilla chips, pasta, or Taco Bell’s nacho fries.

I don't eat it on its own either, but it's a great dipping sauce nonetheless. I tend to use it mostly on toasts or crackers.
