the pb&t sandwich was taught to me by my late stepdad, who insisted it must be made with a thin layer of Miracle Whip. I never really liked the stuff, but this sandwich is better with that than regular mayo...it bridges the gap between the pb and the t. Quite toothsome.

Boudin aux pommes, seconded or thirded, as the case may be. It's akin to pork chops and applesauce, fish with poached fennel, etc...

Aged gouda and orange marmalade comes to mind for me, or manchego with membrillo or roquefort and pear. I love a good cheese well paired with fruit.

I've never understood why there are so many Thai restaurants in Chicago. I don't even think the immigrant population is all that high, or maybe they just don't have an enclave the way other Asian ethnic groups do.

Actually... is mole really sweet? It's not sweet and salt, it's cocoa and salt. Different.

molé!

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

My grandmother's is very sweet. But yes mole is easy to do wrong. I think a lot of people have different ideas of what's right, as well.

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

I don't enjoy most of this stuff. the melon/tomato/kosher salt kebabs are a recent discovery that I like, and I doubt I'd go for the salted melon by itself. I prefer hot and savory.

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:24 (2 years ago) Permalink

though barbecue ribs done right probably count as sweet and salty, at least to some extent.

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:24 (2 years ago) Permalink

From my understanding, mole is some hard fucking work! Everyone's is different, and it's easy to get wrong. Uh....I forget what my original point was going to be....sorry....

And btw, I am ecstatic over the s/s craze that is sweeping the nation!

― Jesse, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:26 (2 years ago) Permalink

i'm trying to anticipate sweet and salty in the context of the ethiopian food i will eat later but i don't think it really applies? more savory and sour and spicy. but, you can have honey wine! perfect.
