Just a very quick post about two amazing food combinations I've stumbled across in the last 24hrs:
1. Goats Cheese + Mango Cutney.
Cheddar cheese and mango chutney is a well-acknowledged good pairing (which I can say with extra certainty after a mindnight snack of these guys with The Fiesta on sunday) so I decided to branch out. I took mild goats cheese- creamy. slightly sour, slightly salty, chilled from the fridge, and put it on granary toast with the warmly spiced Geeta's Mango Chutney. I recommend it.
2. Mushy Peas + Chili Flakes
Last night The Panorama hosted a home-made fish and chip party- which will be a post in itself- but equally as impressive as the fish and chips were the mushy peas. The Panorama had been concerned that the mushy peas weren't spicy enough, so he added some dried chili flakes. This worked very well, both alone, with the sweetness of the peas and the heat of the pepper, but also with the battered fish as the chili cut through some of the mouth-coating richness from the oil without overwhelming the delicate flavour of the fish.
The Teaboy was as enthusiastic as me about the chili peas, and we fought over eating the last scraps from the saucepan!
