70. dark chocolate and orange

tehresa, Friday, 18 December 2009 19:50 (sixteen years ago)

70. tomatoes and black pepper

i can't even touch a tomato without pepper. in fact, we never had black pepper in our house growing up, and i HATED tomatoes (raw). then i left home and discovered the joy that is these two flavours together.

People in my family give me grief about putting pepper as well as salt on my tomato sandwiches, but it makes perfect sense to me.

WmC, Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:36 (sixteen years ago)

DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:36 (sixteen years ago)

imo tomatoes are literally inedible without pepper, at the very least

dumb pl4nk (k3vin k.), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:37 (sixteen years ago)

i used to never put pepper on anything. don't know why! but i love tomatoes, even w/o pepper

harbl, Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:37 (sixteen years ago)

pepper and tomatoes together is like a cornerstone of italian food, hence there should be laws preventing any kind of dissent towards it

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:38 (sixteen years ago)

but it's cool if you have tomatoes w/o pepper, just don't shove it down our throats 'k

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:38 (sixteen years ago)

i like to just eat them. i wouldn't shove plain tomatoes down anyone's throat though.

harbl, Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:41 (sixteen years ago)

75. olive oil and tomatoes

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:43 (sixteen years ago)

76. fried field mushrooms and garlic

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:43 (sixteen years ago)

i just cannot get into mushrooms. they smell so amazing when they're frying but they taste like dirt. a bit like lamb's fry, really.

DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:44 (sixteen years ago)

when i were a nipper i loathed both mushrooms and tomatoes but YEA HALLELUJAH glory is made manifest nowadays - and have chanterelles before you say definitively that you hate mushrooms

anyway you're like the pickiest eater ever :P

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:49 (sixteen years ago)

i am the pickiest eater ever, this is true. it's one of the great burdens i bear :( :(

Thank you! I will be doing an appetizer of pickled peppadews stuffed with cold smoked chorizo and manchego soon. Not sure if I want to grind in the manchego with the chorizo or just broil on top. But I will find out.

Looking to rock a cherry/cardamom ice cream. Thoughts? It seems like it would work and have checked online -- there are recipes for cherry/cardamom scones, cookies and muffins. Anybody messed with this combo before?

If you like this thread but wish it were more expensive, The Flavor Bible isn't bad. There may be a thread about it, I don't know. It would really benefit from a second edition, and it didn't have any of the molecular gastronomy stuff people were hoping it would have - actual scientific breakdowns of "butter tastes good with X, Y contains some of the same flavor compounds as butter, therefore Y should taste good with X" type stuff, that would have been cool. Instead it's basically ... this thread. Bigger. They polled chefs etc and asked them what flavors they like together, and compiled the results. I don't pull it out as often as I expected to, but whenever I do, I find something that gets me thinking - maybe worth a flip through at the library, in any case.

102. pineapple and Campari
