Food/flavours that go together well.

[ChickenDinnerChecky]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently!

What foods or flavours just go really well together, savoury things?

Here are some of my faves to give you an idea of what I mean:

eggs, tomatoes and cheese,
cottage cheese and all crisps especially monster munch,
chicken, chorizo and paprika,

😋

There's a great book about this, called The Flavour Thesaurus (by Niki Segnit). I love looking through it for ideas when I'm cooking.

I really like coriander and I whack it on everything

It looks nice and I love the taste of it

Works well on any salad and any curry

Ooh thanks! I’ll check that book out.

Cheese and marmite😋

Chilli lime coriander
honey soy chilli
salt and sweet …. Feta and watermelon

mint in salads

herbs, spices, citrus, burnt butter all make a huge difference as does a bit of crunch…

and you can’t beat ready salted crisps and salted peanuts.

Cabbage and caraway seeds

Chicken and tarragon

Smoked mackerel, beetroot and horseradish

Not healthy but eating salt and vinegar crisps and chocolate yum

I used to like Smokey bacon crisps with dairy milk 😂 sounds gross but it's nice

I came on to reccomend this!

Another good one is Three Good Things

Cheese and marmite😋

Twiglets, in other words.

Prawns and mango

Pineapple in batter, I always get it with my fish and chips. DH has known me right years and he still get over that one.

Coriander is also delicious in a cheese sandwich, preferably in crusty baguette.

I like
garlic, chilli, ginger with it without soy sauce
Lemon, olive oil, salt & pepper
Tomatoes, onion, garlic

Ooh, smoked salmon and horseradish, amazing

Oh wow, loads of these I love already eg lime coriander and chilli and mint in salads but so many other suggestions too!

and OMG who remembers Worcestershire sauce twiglets?!

Haven’t tried chicken and tarragon. Will get some today to try!

Oh and coconut milk and peanut butter with chilli!

Cheese with apple, sounds horrible but a thinly sliced Granny Smith in a cheese sandwich is delicious.

A squeeze of lemon juice in some savoury dishes, especially curry, really lifts the flavour.

Fresh coriander, mango, bell peppers, spring onions, chilli, lime juice, S&P.

Makes delicious salsa
