Some meals are just better with the proper drink

[JustJam4Tea]

I'm doing dry-ish January so have been musing...but not just alocholic drinks.

Fish and chips with a mug of tea and a slice of bread and butter.
Spaghetti bolognese with a red wine.
Pasta with clams and a white wine.
Nachos and a beer...

Irish stew, soda bread and a pint of Guinness

Fish and chips goes with fizzy pop for me - ideally Tizer, but these days I have to settle for Diet Coke

Full English with a cup of tea. (always drink coffee unless it's a full English)

Curry and lager for me

I eat everything with juice but I know what you mean. I don't drink alcohol really but a nice roast dinner with beef or lamb is nicer with a glass of red wine. My sister always has a glass of cold milk with fish and chips!

Full English - mug of tea
Fish & chips - mug of tea
Pastries, croissants etc - coffee
Curry - beer
Mexican dishes - beer
Fish as part of a meal - very cold white wine
Beef as part of a meal - red wine

I'll swap you tea for a glass of prosecco with fish & chips!
Totally agree about spag bol and wine, ditto pizza and lasagne.

Yes, curry without a lager seems wrong. Though did travel round India for a while and loved lassi!

Full English and a Mug of tea. Definitely not coffee.

Pizza and a lager too.

And I'm a bitter drinker not a lager drinker.

Dandelion and Burdock is the correct accompaniment to fish & chips.

I love a curry and a g&t.

OP

I'm Mexican and I've never had nachos with beer. However, Coca-Cola or Mexican favorite soda, Jarritos, preferably in the bottle and made with cane sugar is generally how I would eat spicy nachos and other spicy Mexican dishes. The sugar balances the heat of the chilies.

If you must have alcohol with tacos and nachos, I would suggest a bland Mexican beer like Corona or XX which is easy to drink but I prefer Tecate with lime and salt or a salt-rimmed margarita.

Chips with curry sauce and a carton of ribena here... 🤣

Chocolate with a mini bottle of Prosecco.

I think you'll find that you need a can of shandy bass with your fish & chips.

I’ve never really got this but I only drink coke, water, tea and occasionally squash

I can't enjoy scrambled eggs without orange juice it's the acidity to cut through all the butter I think! Love it

Red cola with anything from the chippy

Cooked breakfast at least one mug of strong tea.
Roast beef or steak with rioja.
Curry with corona or similar.
Most other meals with water or cold lemonade.

Chippy tea needs a can of Coke. Ditto a Chinese. Otherwise I'm not fussed.

Pizza and coke.

Bacon butties with Bucks fizz
Fish and chips with a can of Dandelion and Burdock

Sprite for a chippy tea for me!
Definitely agree it's builders tea for a full English

Fizzy vimto with a chippy or dandelion and burdock or shandy.

Bacon sandwich with lapsing tea - I think it's because both are smoky, makes me feel I'm beside a bonfire

Ffs autocorrect. Lap-sang

Ooh I might try bacon butty and lapsang.

Don’t get the fizzy drink love though. Not for me.
