new taste sensations! that's what we are about today for whimsical wednesday. my sister enjoys a mix of peanuts and candy corn (brach's brand ONLY!). dad puts whole green grapes in his cereal and milk for breakfast. a friend likes cool whip on pickles! many enjoy ketchup on scrambled eggs. growing up in the south, people loved pouring a small bag of salted peanuts into a coca-cola (a 10 ounce bottle!) and downing both. we also drank hot dr pepper with a lemon slice in it. the grandchildren like bananas with peanut butter and chocolate chips.
a great deal of thought about what my food combinations would be occurred over the last few days. by last night i settled on three combinations. the combinations were:
apple and pickled ginger
carrot and orange marmalade
peanuts and whipped cream
a big deal was made of my food combinations as they were arrayed on a lovely plate. a glass of water
accompanied the sample plate in order to have a palate cleanser in between tastes. (giggle.....) the food combinations were tasted in the order written above.
the apple and pickled ginger was a burst of sharp and mild that melded into a wonderful taste. this combination was surprisingly yummy! the carrot and orange marmalade was subtle with the marmalade taking the edge off the bitter aftertaste that can come with munching raw carrots. the peanuts and whipped cream was "dessert" and came together with that great balance of sweet and salty that makes foods particularly delightful to me. my choices for new taste sensations might have to be developed further into recipes!
what new taste sensations did you create for whimsical wednesday?
