What two foods absolutely do not compliment each other? In other words, the flavor of one will clash with the other ruining the whole experience.

1. Cross-cultural spices sometimes clash

I think that mingling Mediterranean with Asian condiments often ends up weird. Oregano plus soy sauce, for instance. Or thyme with cilantro.

Fusion is a tricky business, and can sometimes end in disaster.

6. Sharp cheddar cheese and pears

The best ever.

7. i think cilantro and truffles are non-complimentary

although people do use them together. cilantro overwhelms the more expensive truffles

aso garlic in any dessert

16. That would be a total waste of truffles

Truffles should be enjoyed without anything to mask their exquisite flavor.

8. as a kid I mixed Bosco and lemonade

what a waste of both but I think a good chef could make chocolate work with lemons .

9. maybe lemon rind? kinda like how orange rind is used in dark chocolate flavors

10. While lemon juice is great with iced tea, orange juice is not so much nt

11. Chocolate and most cheese.

Both of them compliment probably the widest ranges of other foods than anything else, but they don't compliment each other--except for the "dessert" cheeses, like cream cheese and marscapone. But, chocolate and cheddar, Havarti, Peccorino Romano, blue cheese.... Eeeeewww.

12. Mint and cola...

[RevStPatrick]

13. Smoked oysters and dark chocolate...

Oh no, my bad!
They actually go very nicely together...

14. Milk chocolate and red wine or port

Dark chocolate is okay.

15. Mint-flavored orange juice
