Pairings

IMHO Certain foods are classic combinations. I suspect these combinations
are ethnically or regionally influenced.

here are some of mine:

mayo and carrots
celery and peanut butter
apple pie and cheddar cheese
sour cream and caviar
lox and cream cheese
roast beef and horseradish
hot dogs and chili
pulled pork and vinegar
fruit and cheese

Might have had a couple of these.

Horseradish goes better with ham
I don't mix dogs and chili.
I don't use much cheese.
Apple pie and vanilla ice cream...

Growing up with Polish grandparents we put horseradish on the plate
with ham and also kielbasa. With kielbasa, I'll also use some yellow
mustard.

If you make a ham sandwich, it is fantastic with both mayo and
horseradish. Roast beef too!

I don't really put horseradish on ham. I leave it separate.
I often put it in ketchup for fries and fish.

I'll eat chili on the side, but not often with dogs.

Been eating cottage cheese and pineapple. Also good with tomato.

Cheese on fries.
Gravy on fries.
Mustard and fries.

I like big Daddio thin crust supreme pizzas with pickleled japs and anchovies. Yum yum. That is an irresistible combo. Very close to bread and butter.

Pork and apples are naturals together! My latest favorite is cider
(except I use plain apple juice because cider is seasonal here)
braised pork shoulder, served with slices of apple that have been
cooked in the braising liquid until they are softened, but don't fall
apart.

I've tried it with pork chops and they don't work for me. I prefer
the texture of a pork shoulder/butt after a long slow cook.

I have done medallions of pork tenderloin with a mild curry cream sauce
with chopped dried apricots.

I prefer my tenderloin in a sherry cream sauce with lots of mushrooms,
but I wouldn't turn yours down if you did the cooking.

Prosciutto and melon.

My own personal likes: pizza and orange soda
tuna casserole and Coke

Can NOT eat chicken or turkey without cranberry sauce on the side.

Soda with any meal? No thanks. If it's not water, I'd rather have
fresh lemonade or iced tea.

I am capable of eating chicken without cranberry, but not turkey.
Cranberry is such a wonderful condiment... why not use it if you have
it?

No - strangely enough, only those two things. I consider it a food
quirk of mine.

In a resto, I'm happy with just water. Besides soda being no good for
ya, it's a foolish expense, esp at resto prices.

Agreed... and it has never been a thirst quencher for me - I always
feel like I'm left with a sticky slime in my mouth.

That sticky slime in your mouth is not from any beverage.

IMO it is a step above milk. Now there is something that leave a slimy
feeling my my mouth and throat. I never liked milk as a beverage and
really can't understand why anyone would drink it.

I like it is chicken, but a turkey dinner is not complete without it.

I don't like soda pop with meals..... with one exception. I rarely eat
hot dogs, but when I do, I crave Coke.

I can eat hamburgers and hot dogs with soda, but it's not my first
choice anymore. I think the reason I can tolerate it is because I ate
that combination as a teenager, so I don't completely reject the idea
the way I do with other foods.

I'll use cranberry sauce on whole roasted and stuffed birds. Otherwise, I
don't bother.

Sounds worth trying. Is there a commercial brand that you buy or is it made
from scratch? If from scratch, it sounds like a lot of work/ingredients to
make something I've never tried. Do you have a tried and true good recipe.

What I bought is commercial, but you can make it easily using
cranberry juice according to Becca. I'll post one by Barb Schaller,
but there are recipes on the net that are practically the same thing
and probably easier.

Cranberry Pepper Jelly
Posted by Barb Schaller

Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens, 9/11/01

Makes about 5 half pints

2 to 4 jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup vinegar
5 cups sugar
1 foil pouch liquid pectin (3 oz pouch, Certo or Ball)
5 small fresh hot red peppers (optional) such as serrano or pequin

In a medium saucepan combine jalapeño peppers, cranberry juice
cocktail, and vinegar. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and
simmer for 10 minutes. Strain mixture through a sieve, pressing with
the back of a spoon to remove all of the liquid. Measure 2 cups
liquid. Discard pulp.

In a 4-quart dutch oven or kettle combine the 2 cups strained liquid
and the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring
constantly. Stir in the pectin and, if desired, hot peppers, Return
to a full rolling boil; boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Quickly skim off foam with a metal spoon.

Immediately ladle jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars,
leaving 1/4-inch head-space. If using the hot red peppers, put one in
each jar before filling jar. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process
in the BWb for 5 minutes (basic canning procedures here).

Note that jelly may require 2 to 3 days to set.
