Ultimate food and drink combinations

[Lefty Two Drams]

Here's one:

Smoked Haddock (preferably Arbroath Smokie)



And:

A young, salty Ardbeg. Just like this one in fact:



Mmmmmmm.

[Mobile Chicane]

I also quite like smoked salmon with a salty Islay, or amontillado sherry.

[Plotloss]

The classic port and stilton.

But you need to match it, no good having great port and st cheese.

You've got to have cooking stilton with cooking port and great port with great stilton.

Up here in Norway :

Pinnekjøtt (Salted smoked ribs) and Aquavit (Petrol)




What alcohol from the Aquavit hasn't evaporated by the time it hits your stomach is supposed to help break down the fatty salty meat. This is more a Christmas thing, but worth looking forward too.

[Wadeski]

Flinty, minerally pouilly-fume and quick-fried seafood (crayfish, squid, scallops....anything really).

Spicy szechuan chinese food and ice cold beer.

[Lefty Two Drams]

Irish stew and guinness...

Castle Lager (bottle, not tin) and a braai in the veld.

[AndyAudi]

A "timeout" with a cup of tea.

No other biscuit comes close and the timeout, on it's own, is too dry.

As we speak, I am tucking into Cheddar cheese on toast, drenched in Lea & Perrins, followed by a strong cup of PG char, sans sucre.
Ah, comfort fare.

[alman]

big monster steak and a big monster shiraz

[smn159]

Sausage sandwich with hot chilli sauce and a cold beer

[spikeyhead]

Curry and vintage champagne

[Mobile Chicane]

KFC and champagne. The crispness of eg. Taittinger or Bruno Paillard really cuts the greasiness.

[sal 965]

Fish and Chips and a sparkling shiraz. Same reason as MC

[surrey7er]

A nice spicy curry (not too greasy) and a cup of White coffee... It shouldn't work, but by crikey it does!

[escargot]

Muscadet & Oysters

[Snoggledog]

A nice mug of Columbian coffee and a plate containing bacon, eggs, bangers, beans, black pudding and fried bread.

[dougc]

Massive bowl of moules frites and a bowl of Breton cider.

[Turbodiesel1690]

Vindaloo and an ice cold cobra lager

[bazking69]

Steak and red wine.
Curry and lager.
Coffee and biscuits.
