I remember their other posts getting criticized, and for good reason as they didn’t make sense

Chocolate, cheese and bread what

Really nice mozzarella or goat cheese goes well with chocolate.

There are a lot of popular deserts that are chocolate, cheese and bread/carbs like cheesecake and cannoli.

They make/made Cheese Kitkat in Japan. Wafer isn't technically bread but it's pretty close.

Those don't have chocolate

Darn. I happened to spot them once when I was at an Asian market and I wasn't brave enough to buy one. The regret has been haunting me for years but I suppose it's a relief to hear they were a bit more normal than I initially thought!

It can be great

Saint Marcellin on traditional baguette with a thin square of 70-80% dark chocolate of top is one of my favourite snacks. Goes great with a glass of red wine.

Some people like chocolate with quite intense cheeses like bleu, but I personally prefer young white soft cow or goat cheese that will balance the intensity of a very dark chocolate with their creaminess.

I ate that all the time as a kid in Denmark. It was pretty good.

Onion and watermelon sounds like another good one.

Have you ever tried it? Chocolate and cheese is so good imo.

In Indonesia they have something called Martabak, and you can get the sweet dessert kind. It’s basically like fried bread or dough, almost like French toast, and you can get it with chocolate, cheese, banana, nuts. And that’s not to mention just like sweet toast or toasties which are literally just like fried pieces of brioche or sweet bread with these ingredients put on top of it

I heard Ukrainians enjoy pork fat (salo) with chocolate. Haven't tried it, but I heard good things.

Watermelon and Onion. Hmm...

Watermelon in a salad with feta? BAM

Want to go further? Grill the melon

But wouldn't that create bland combinations? You need complimenting things, not overlapping things.

I tried Pine Nut and my top matches were leeks at 91.11% and persimmons at 89.8%. Neither seem to be related taxonomically, culinarily or flavor-wise.

LargeHadron_Colander t1_j55dusq wrote

All I can tell you is that I know of Korean dishes with pine nut and containing green onion or leek. Also persimmons are popular there too.

you mean 'rotten tomatoes', right? because rotten.com is long gone

Was thinking of rotten.com but both works actually lmao. Didn’t know rotten was gone, didn’t visit it since I was a teenager because we thought it was cool (it wasn’t)

DemonsRage83 t1_j54ssjl wrote

They did say vegetable. Tomatoes are fruit.

They probably meant Rotten Cauliflower or something.

ShinyTotoro t1_j54ysak wrote

Fruit as a part of a plant, yes. And cauliflower is flowers actually. But then, what even is a vegetable? I think we're getting philosophical here ;)

Botanical fruit, a vegetable if looking at it from a nutrioniost viewpoint

I've seen too many nutritionists with conflicting viewpoints.

When I took my first job at a small startup around food pairing, they were doing exactly the same. Flavor pairing by "has the same aromas" sucks.

It's much better to look which ingredients are used together a lot in recipes. Much like a "users who watched video X also watch video Y".

Liquorice with chocolate, bread, pasta, shrimp or breakfast cereals? As someone who visits Finland on a regular basis, I don't see any problem here.
