Hello, All!

A recent post expressing dislike of orange creme and chocolate
caused me to wonder what are other's favorite flavor
combinations? To me, orange and chocolate is perhaps the best
combination that has ever been invented. I'll admit that the
Spaniard who thought of sweetening chocolate was another human
benefactor. Rum and raisins are another great one for ice cream.

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.

I cannot stand chocolate and fruit together. It's one of the few
foods I dislike enough that I will find a way to discreetly spit it
out if I accidentally get a bite of it.

Some of my favorite flavor combos (not necessarily for ice cream)

Next time you have fudge, eat it with an apple.
That's a nice combination of flavor and, more
importantly, texture.

Oh, no, gross gross gross. :-)

OTOH, I think chocolate and cherry, and chocolate and orange are
superb combinations.

But, por vous, how about cherries and almonds? I understand they are
horticulturally related.

Agreeing with Nancy2, lemon and chocolate does not work for me
either but mint and chocolate does. Another that works for me is
raspberry jam and coconut as in the small Scottish cakes whose
name I forget but which are coated with raspberry jam and then
rolled in coconut.

The vagaries of human food dislikes always ceases to amaze me.

Cherries and almonds taste good to me. Chocolate and almonds --
yummy. Chocolate and cherries -- bleah, yuck, argh. :-)

Apple, cheddar and madeira cake. A classic lunch. Even better if
washed down with a glass of stout.
