Peaches and Garlic



Pinot Noir and White Bean Soup

 There is a craze on food and wine blogs at the moment to name tem matching flavour combinations, so here goes with my contribution to the genre.


Cheese and Beetroot – A personal favourite (cheddar or Cheshire cheese work best)
Figs and Parma Ham – A really sensual combination
Haggis and Canadian Icewine – You can tell I am not Scottish but believe me this works really well.
Lamb and Mint Sauce – You can’t get more English than this. If you don’t like mint sauce try anchovies, if you don’t like anchovies, splash out on a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pork Sausages and Marmalade – This is one from my childhood; I imagine we all have a weird one like this.
Rhubarb Jam and Peanut Butter – This is vegetarian heaven in a sandwich.
Toasted Teacakes and Butter – Perhaps, the quintessential taste of England.
Tomatoes and Lemon – A surprisingly good combination when cooking.
Tortilla (Spanish Omelette) and Dry Fino Sherry – A Spanish tapas classic. Fino Sherry works well with olives as well.
White Bean Soup and Pinot Noir – Actually, Pinot Noir with almost anything! A good Premier Cru Burgundy preferably.

And one that didn’t make the list……

Peaches and Garlic – An in-joke with the Whyisthereair blog so don’t try this one.

I won't be asking another five blogs to participate, that is too much like one of those old chain letters.
