There are those among us who really enjoy flavor pairings that can seem odd at first. Sweet/salty, sweet/savory and sweet/sour are very common. And the more cooking you do, the more likely you are to find one that works for you.

I wasn’t impressed with tiramisu myself…until I had some in Italy. What I had there was a completely different beast from what I’d been served in the USA to that point. It was a stronger, more definitively coffee flavored taste, carefully balanced with sweetness.

That is a lingering concern, NGL.

I could see that as an RPG’s original setting and its expansion supplement. FWIW, there was a short story I read YEARS ago that was a take on the first idea. Humanity expanded into the galaxy in 2 directions, encountering no other sentient life. Then, after thousands of years of expansion...

Dull? No. Change? Yes. We season foods- ALL foods- to alter their flavors. Steak is no different. I mean, in all likelihood, even the most minimally seasoned steak will have salt & pepper on it.

I’ve seen cheese & apple pie, but never eaten the combo myself. That said, I’ve been eating apples & cheese- usually cheddar- together for decades, and one particular childhood snack I still enjoy isn’t far off. Basically, slice your apple into wedges, drape it with cheese, and dust it with...

Yes. Yes I did. Exactly this.

We do a lot of Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli & cauliflower, or California mix (broccoli cauliflower, & carrots) in our house as well.

That’s from the most recent time I did steak for dinner. It was NY Strip*, served with oven roasted potatoes and some sauteed mushrooms. * I personally prefer ribeye or prime rib, but I can choke down a strip steak if I have to. I guess.

Seared on the outside, nearly raw at the center.

EDIT: You know what? Nope.

UPDATE: I’m tracking down my spices. The 2 Indian groceries closest to me have almost all of the spices I need, but juniper berries (for the brine) are proving to be elusive. Yes, I can get them online, but I don’t want to play games with uncertain delivery times. So I’m going to call 1-2...

Sooo…do you like pineapple on your eggs?

Generally, medium rare. If not that, I can go up or down a category, with rare being preferable to medium.
