What are your favorite 2-food pairings?

Shrimp or scallops with risotto.

Pineapple juice and dark rum (Myers).

Macaroni and fried chicken.

When I was a kid, I loved putting A-1 sauce on my mashed potatoes.

Sausage and peppers.

lox/bagel
feta cheese on salad
warm milk/honey
Gefilte fish/horseradish sauce
prime rib/horseradish sauce
matzo/butter
poached eggs on rye toast or English muffin
waffles/crisp bacon
BLT sandwich

Cheese and anything
Bacon and anything

@marinelife Amen to that but I would refine it to melted cheese on anything!

knockwurst and vegetarian baked beans
pickled herring and sour cream
ginger ale and Welsh’s grape juice
tuna salad sandwich with provolone cheese
fresh or frozen strawberries or blueberries with heavy cream
fried chicken and waffles
Dr. Pepper, Coca Cola or root beer with vanilla ice cream

Fried chicken and waffles??! You Texas Pachyderms are weird creatures!

Curly Wurly & Angel Delight.

@janbb, it’s a combo I discovered only last year and apparently quite traditional. I thought it sounded weird too, but one taste and I was hooked!

Ooh that reminds me – I love an ice cream soda with Coke and coffee ice cream! Now I want one.

It’s after 5 o’clock somewhere so = = = = = > “Gin and Tonic”

Thinly sliced apple with thinly sliced cheese.

Cream cheese and strawberry preserves.

Wendy’s fries dipped in a Frosty.

I smash peas into my mashed potatoes.

Really, mashed potatoes and anything.

Gorgonzola Dolce with roasted beets. And if in a salad, add some chopped toasted Walnuts. In a pinch, I will use regular Gorgonzola, but it’s just not as heavenly without the Dolce.

i know it sounds really weird but its absolutely drlicious. Believe it or not, it’s known as a classic pairing; just ask a real chef.

Liptons powdered Tomato Soup and Sour Cream makes a great party dip if you want a changeup for the Onion Soup one. Not everyone links onions.

A can of those tiny tender Petit Pois peas drained and mixed with Sour Cream.

There’s nothing better on a hot summer day when you can’t stand the thought of cooking. Obviously I always have a few cans in the fridge for when the mood hits.

Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes mixed half and half tastes better than either alone.

Oh, I almost forgot the best one !

If you want an awesome but really really easy dessert that’s even worthy for serving to guests you can make a killer Chocolate Mousse by mixing a good quality Cocoa powder with a container of Sour Cream.

You can also use a whisk or electric beaters to beat some more air into it if you want to lighten it up and get really fancy but I only do that for company. I like it fine just thoroughly mixed together for myself.

But I can’t emphasize this enough; it’s imperative that you MUST USE a high quality cocoa powder. None of that Nestles or Swiss Miss type of crap,

I use Penzeys Mint Chocolate mix. Addictive. Also great in Summer.

@Buttonstc That peas and sour cream thing sounds awesome! I’ll have to do that.

Yeah, can you tell I REALLY like Sour Cream ?

Gouda and club crackers.

Pesto pasta sauce on toast.

Zucchini and chopped walnuts sauteed in olive oil. It’s the only way to serve zucchini._well, maybe not the ONLY way. It’s my FAVORITE way.

You all listed my favorites already. Haven’t had a Porterhouse or any other beef for months. Way off the budget down in the Caribbean. You’re killing me.with your big, thick prime rib with horseradish sauce. I’m dying.

Stone Crab claws dipped in mustard sauce. Or just butta.

Or just fresh new potatoes dripping in butter, sprinkled with chopped parsely and a glass of good Chardonnay
on a warm night
on a terrace,
high on a cliff
overlooking the Pacific
under a bright moon.
a breeze whispering in the redwoods behind
and the waves crashing below

Since when does McDonalds have coffee milkshakes?

I used to dip my fries in my frosty at Wendy’s, before they ruined their French fry recipe.

Beer and anything salty/savory.

Cottage cheese and sunflower seeds.

@livelaughlove21: “Since when does McDonalds have coffee milkshakes?”

In Massachusetts in the 70s and early 80s.
And yes, the Wendy’s Frosty and fries was also amazing.

Cheese and bacon. If you give me a cheese spread it better have bacon in it!

Beans and rice.

@tom_g Oh, well that explains it. I wasn’t born yet.

Cheese and onion.
Dark chocolate and orange.

@Bellatrix Terry’s…no it’s mine, tap it unwrap it.

I love Terry’s Chocolate Oranges. I love After Eight mints too. And those chocolate stick things…no idea what they’re called.

Matchstix, the wife likes the mint flavoured variety.
