I decided to choose pairings that do not require any cooking preparation, but are served in their simplicity, so that the tastiness is not hidden by the skill of the chef. No offense so to my favorite cheff (my wife), if i don't include in this list any plate she made.
The theory wants that pairing foods one promotes the choice within the same territory, and i think that this is a good way. Nevertheless in this list there are matches of products coming from far apart... they look anyway to me perfect.
There are my ten choices.
- Spicey gorgonzola with grapes ambrosia (a kind of syrup) and Passito from Pantelleria Salvatore Murana.
- Tuscan bread with some extra virgin olive oil and some grain of coarse salt with Chianti Classico.
- Walnut bread with Chevre and a glass of Alsacian Gewürztraminer.
- 99% fondant Lindt chocolate with Barolo Chinato.
- A slice of toasted wholemeal bread with parcially melted Brie, a slice of Speck Alto Adige and a Chimay White Cap.
- Slice of Munster with cumin seeds and Bonne Esperance beer.
- Raw breton oyster with Guinness just tapped off (with also the clover drawn on the foam).
- Pienza Pecorino aged in walnut leaves with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Marina Cvetic.
- Bruschetta (toasted bread) with melted Bagoss and a slice of Colonnata Lard with Masi Campofiorin.
- Tuna sashimi with soy sauce and wasabi and a glass of Greco di Tufo Feudi di San Gregorio.
- Epoisses spread on still warmish baguette with Chateauneuf du Pape.
There we are. Now i should "pass" the meme to other people. I virtually pass to anyone stop by reading this blog. If you accept it, please link this blog and put a comment, so i link yours back and we don't break the chain.
