Favorite food pairs

[Texasgal]

Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sammitch!

My version of peanut butter and jelly!

What's your favorite food pair?

[cbayer]

1. Foie gras on toast points with a little fruit chutney

and a cold glass of good sauterne.

I never get to have it, but it would be my wish for my final meal.

[Texasgal]

3. never?

That stinks!

[cbayer]

5. Southern California has practically outlawed it - or maybe they actually have.

But anytime I am traveling and I can get it, I do.

2. Baked Cod and roasted potatoes...

Brussels Sprouts and toasted almonds in browned butter....

Risotto and Broccoli

Raspberry and dark chocolate

Rose champagne and dark chocolate


most anything with dark chocolate, to tell the truth!

[Texasgal]

4. Oh yes I agree..

Raspberry and dark chocolate are a perfect PAIR!!!

[pinto]

6. Peppered grilled shark, Brussels sprouts and lemon butter.

[Lucinda]

7. I have bunches...but my current fav is

blue cheese and pears.
I also love asiago and dill with eggs.
My all time favorite is Caprese salad though. Tomato, basil and mozzarella!

[Texasgal]

8. Hmmm.. blue cheese and pears!

That sound very GOOD! I've never tried that!

how do you prepare it? Do you roast the pears or just cut them and sprinkle with bleu cheese?

[grasswire]

13. sliced fresh pear and crumbled bleu are oh-so-good on baby salad greens...

....with some toasted hazlenuts chopped and a light simple vinaigrette.

Yum yum.

[Lucinda]

15. Just about every way you could think of... I've even put chunky dressing on canned chilled pears

It's great with chilled pears and crumbled blue cheese as a side dish for steak, on burgers etc.

And as grasswire mentioned, it's killer as a salad. I like it with baby spinach and something crunchy (cashews, walnuts, celery, etc)

[eridani]

17. Yes!! let's hear it for tomato, basil and mozzarella!

Also big fat juicy strawberries dipped in chocolate.

[Texasgal]

10. What is gravlax?

[grasswire]

12. cured salmon

You can actually make your own.

[pinto]

20. Good one.

[applegrove]

11. Tarragon on the havarti/mozzarella layer of a lasagna.

Wat

[DrDan]

19. mmmm - some fresh onions and a splash of hot sauce on the beans, some

heaven

[rhett o rick]

23. Navy beans on garlic bread with ketsup, and chili with corn bread. nm

[HopeHoops]

21. Sliced tart apple and gorgonzola.

[NMDemDist2]

24. popcorn and dark chocolate

tomatoes and cukes

beef stew and no-knead bread

[maddezmom]

25. any type of strong cheese and fruit

and maybe some water crackers.

[The empressof all]

26. Potato Chips

And melty Haagen Daz chocolate chocolate chip ice cream for dipping...


I know, I know....but you can't fight what the heart wants.


I also really really like french fries with Brown or Turkey Gravy for dipping.

[Inchworm]

27. Canned banana peppers and

Extra Sharp Cheddar chunks. (with beer)

[freshwest]

28. Avocadoes and scrambled eggs but the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich is a close second.

Both quick and satisfying.

I tend more to the avocado mix than the soup and cheese now.

Heck, avocado with anything.

Ah, one more, the old standby, a bowl of spicy rice and beans.
