Unusual flavor combos that work surprisingly well

[Transmeta™]

This about FOOD not ejuice. Would like to hear your experiences...

I'll start

Strawberries with pepper- just sprinkle finely ground on top, nice!

Olive oil with black tea- just toss a pinch of tea leaves into a bottle and after some time, you have nice unusual dressing

Chocolate and saffron- gift from gods, saffron is antidepressant, chocolate uplifts mood, win win scenario!

Tea or coffee with salt- no milk no sugar naturally, just a pinch, taste comes forward in a new way! Works wonders with green tea too! That was btw the original way from china..

Apples and vanilla- doesn't sound unusual, but most people would use cinnamon or nutmeg, and remember, when the pie recipe says half a bottle of vanilla extract they mean 3 bottles at least! the more the better! Believe me.

Potatoes and nutmeg- makes wonders in any tater dish

Meat and star anise- the secret of many Michelin starred estaurants, brings more meat flavors... Works with any meat.

Fresh tomatoes and sugar- many sprinkle salt on them, but hey those are fruits after all!

Oh, newest thing just came in...

Strawberries with mozzarella, drizzle a bit of sweet balsamico on top, the better quality thicker kind.

Cooking with tomatoes, toss the foliage and branch in, flavor gets stronger.

You can't beat a few squares of dark chocolate in a chillie sauce

Yes I'm a big fan of chilli chocolate, got some hot chocolate powder from Cawardines which has chilli and cinnamon, is gurt lush when the weather's cold.

One of the best chilli chocolate's IMO is the Lindt, very good value if you buy it in a supermarket

I like chocolate with sea salt too, and sea salt butter is wicked! (can one use that word anymore, heh...?) it looks col too, as the salt reacts with butter and makes it nicely uneven in color.

When baking with chocolate adding a tiny bit of coffee is a good idea, if one likes coffee taste that is.

Glad to hear sugestions from you guys, I love cooking and eating, and learning about more about flavors helps with vaping juice selection process too!

Lindt is nice indeed.

I did some chicken tother day and put a can of coke in with it plus some tomato ketchup, onions and seasoning, it tasted really nice, ive also done ham in coke before now and a chocolate cake with coke added. I love trying different things foodwise but am quite boring with juices, just get the ready done ones lol

Ine done the chocolate in the gravy and the strawberries with balsamic, even make jam with balsamic too.

I just bought some Star Anise the other day but havent used that as yet.

Chocolate with lavendar, sounds horrible but is really quite more-ish.

I also put a few squares of dark chocolate in when I make a chilli con carne. Mr Fan says it's the best he's ever tasted.

Not really a flavour combo, but I love coleslaw with my chilli, the cold creaminess works really well with the hot spiciness.

Salted caramel- yumminess!!!! More so when combined with chocolate

Keep them coming, I love to hear this stuff... (gets hungry and goes to kitchen...)

When i was at school i used to dip my hash browns in custard, used to love it but not done it for years

[jamila169]

Not really a taste thing, but milk in spag bol- tenderises the meat brilliantly if you chuck half a pint in before the tomatoes.
Oh, and if you're cooking with garlic and it's a bit bitey, a teaspoon ful of Margerine ( not butter) mellows it.
And an oldie but goodie, sugar and a teeny pinch of cayenne in tomato sauces

Edited because my spell checker is a mentalist

Hmmm...
Banana and peanut butter - but that's well known.
Peanut butter and sardine
PB and tuna with mayonnaise
The above with HP sauce
Strawbery jam and sardine
Spam, PB, mayo, cheese, sundried tomatoes

Nescafe original and Gauloise or Disque Bleu fags - for something approaching a French taste
Decent brandy and a good cigar - both of them complement each other in a way that's hard to describe

[Phoenix .]

You do realise you are on a Vaping forum ?.......cigars, Gauloise, Disque Blue fags. Shame on you, do 50 press ups until you apologise.

I hadn't heard that one . . . but I might try it now.

Peanut butter ( crunchy ) with strawberry jam, delish!
