Hickory smoke and beef or chicken too, though I've taken to using
cherry for the chicken. I had a grafted sweet cherry tree die, and
another cherry grew from the roots. I've been trimming it, then
letting the wood age. Pretty soon, I'm just going to cut the whole
thing down and use the long, straight pieces for crafts, and use the
rest for grilling/smoking chicken.

And poultry and sage too.

I'd rather say avocado and lime.

If black pepper is also a gimme, I'd say runny egg yolk on fried
potatoes.
Raspberry and chocolate marry nicely in Haagen Dasz Black Raspberry
Chip (which I think they no longer make).
