Favourite food and drink combinations

What's your favourite food and drink combination. Not necessarily your favourite food, or drink, or both - but the perfect pairing?

For me there is something fantastic about

  • burger and beer (ale)
  • ready salted crisps and v cold white wine, preferably a bit oaky or fizz.
  • spicy curry and a long lime and soda with tonnes of ice

Apple. Peanut butter. Glass of cold milk

Mumtobabyhavoc · 26/01/2026 05:37

Pancakes with sliced banana and maple syrup and an iced cafe latte

Champagne and seafood. Eg Taittinger and scallops. This is not something I have very often btw.

In ordinary life, coffee and toast with Marmite.

First night on holiday after travelling, sitting at a beachfront restaurant…Hawaiin pizza and a cold lager, bliss!

Just had a plateful of fresh chocolate chip cookies and a cold glass of milk. Classic.

I love soda with BBQ chips. Fries with strawberry shake.

hot bovrel & hot buttered toast

Definitely the champagne and seafood.

Hard no to marmite and anything (sorry) 🤣

Tea and chocolate for me too.

MikeRafone · 26/01/2026 07:36

fish and chips and coke, as the coke cuts through the fat...

BarbarianBabs · 26/01/2026 07:37

Jacket potato and cup of tea
eggs and coffee
crisps and red wine
ginger biscuits and whole milk

PocketsAndSedition · 26/01/2026 07:38

Tapas and red wine
Coffee and a cinnamon swirl
G&T and ready salted crisps, preferably in a pub garden on a sunny afternoon after a long countryside walk

Fish and chips and tea in a mug in the sit down bit of the fish and chip shop with condensation on the windows and ‘oh, go on then’ to a side of buttered white bread. Smell of vinegar and tanniny tea. I’m on a diet, it’s a long time since I’ve done that, and I walk home past the chippy most nights. Ah.

toast and marmite and tea, it’s so comforting.

on holiday, arrival beer and something salty to keep your salts up!

bumphousebump · 26/01/2026 07:41

Beer and crisps or tea and cake? Our regular conversation for the last hour of any reasonably long walk….

LittleBitofBread · 26/01/2026 07:43

Fish and chips and proper builder’s tea.
A good Darjeeling and those fancy Chips de Madrid crisps with Cretan herbs.
A v specific one from a lovely experience on holiday: tempura, just fried and tipped out in front of you by the chef, scalding hot and super crispy, with fizzy Japanese orange pop.😋

CosySeal · 26/01/2026 07:43

Quavers and potato salad 👌

gototogo · 26/01/2026 07:46

Cheese and red wine (or port) especially strong cheddar, yum!

BlueEyedBogWitch · 26/01/2026 07:55

Builder’s tea that a mouse could trot across, and a slack handful of bourbons.

TwentyTwentyTwenty · 26/01/2026 07:56

Blue cheese and celery.

OMGitsnotgood · 26/01/2026 08:01

Curry and lager
fish & chps and a mug of tea
jam & bread and a cup of cold milk (throw back to childhood suppers)
Brownies with Baileys

ZenNudist · 26/01/2026 08:01

Really good seafood and a glass of bone dry white wine, preferably with a sea view

PocketsAndSedition · 26/01/2026 09:01

How could I overlook this one - a cup of tea and a slice of toast with jam. Preferably blackcurrant.

MikeRafone · 26/01/2026 09:09

colcannon & garlic mushrooms

HeadyLamarr · 26/01/2026 09:13

TwentyTwentyTwenty · 26/01/2026 07:56

Blue cheese and celery.

Neither of those is a drink, delicious though they are.

OP was asking for food and a drink that go together - like a mince pie and a glass of port or Rogan Josh and a lager.

Planesmistakenforstars · 26/01/2026 10:05

Fish tacos and a really great reposado tequila.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 26/01/2026 10:57

Chocolate and milk.
Cheese,crackers and wine.
Ham sandwich and a cup of tea.
