Now that sounds good!

As a kid I used to eat cheddar dipped in maple syrup. Can't handle it
now though...

Love the chocolate with the cherry. The commissary here just started
carrying (don't know for how long) the Harry and David brand of
chocolate covered bing cherries (also the raspberries and
blueberries)....We've been making ourselves sick on them.

Best curry I've had was in a little hole in the wall place across the
street from the gate of the base I was stationed at in Japan. Oddly it
was run by americans. It was so freaking good. They also had an
excellent tandoori sandwich served on naan bread. I used to go there
(before I had my daughter) and drink pots of tea and eat tons of curry
while reading.

combinations? To me, orange and chocolate is perhaps the best
combination that has ever been invented. I'll admit that the

One thing that I've never found to work: *chocolate and lemon. *I made
a lemon chiffon cake once with chocolate icing, and it was a
disgusting taste combo.


To me, any chocolate flavour [except chips] in ice cream is crap,
especially when combined with fruit or berries, as is the latest craze
among the supermarket brands.

How serendipitous. I spent part of my morning listing flavors that work in
my mind for new desserts for this year.
Some that worked last year we
peaches and chili
plums and goat cheese
caramel with chili
white chocolate, rum and fruits
ginger and lemon
I'm not a dessert lover, so it takes some mental elbow grease ro do these
things. Most of those combos end up open tarts.

I tend to agree with your dad; sweet fruity sauces on fatty pit barbeque
make me nauseated but I do like apple sauce with roast pork.

Hmmm, today's lunch is to be spareribs marinated in and glazed with a
cranberry and spice concoction.

Good cheddar cheese with a sliver of Goya guava paste on top is a snack
I adore. I learned it from a Puerto Rican couple I knew.

ROFL Did you just happen to catch Rachel Ray's show this afternoon?!

That would be a NO! (laugh)

She did a thing, like what you do when you have just a little bit of
something left in a jar. Just happened to be raspberry jam. She added
dijon mustard, salt, pepper and (you guessed it) EVOO. Shook it all up,
said use it as a salad dressing or... and she drizzled it all over some
browned chicken breast halves. I cringed. Sorry, none for me!

Jill

A little mild vinegar might make that work a little better. Depends on
how much jam was involved.
A little is not bad. A lot....

Many fine recipes call for just those things mixed together. In fact, I
know Penzey's sells their Raspberry Magic (or whatever they call it) for
this type of use.
You've not tasted it yet you're already sure you dislike it? Your mind
is already made up, eh?
I'd never let my kids get away with that childishness. They'd have to at
least try a bite.

Some combinations don't taste good to some taste buds. If a person
knows what
they like, and what they dislike, that's their choice.

If I told you that cilantro tastes like soap, would you insist I try
it again? It could be that Jill has tried sweet and mustard in the
past and disliked it.

Practice tolerance. Someday, we'll all get it right.

I like to put swiss cheese on my waffles, melt it a little, and then
add maple syrup. MMMMMM!

LOL, back in high school we smoked "funny" cigarettes and got a food
craving. We were hanging out up at my friend's parents' cabin a few hours
north that they had closed up for the winter. (It was a summer cabin on the
lake. We used it as a party house in the winter months.)

All we could find was peanut butter, some dried salami, and for some reason
somebody had bread. At the time, they were the best sandwiches EVER. I
tried duplicating it after-the-sobering-effect and it was nasty. (Gosh I'm
laughing at this memory!)

We'd get creative up at that cabin with what we had to work with, too. The
oven/stove was gas and that was always cut off in the winter, so we took
shrimp up there and cooked them on the coffee pot burner. Those were the
good ole days. :~)

kili

At scout camp, for dayhikes, the kitchen would send up loaves of
bread, peanut butter, jelly, balony, and mustard. Peanut butter and
balony was good!

Good one! I should have thought of it. I loved them at camp. The
creamsicle was the best. There was also something similar called a
push-up, but it wasn't as good.


For modern day, you need a good tart sorbet matched with a good rich
vanilla ice cream in a proportion of about 1:2.
