I learned to enjoy food again after my eating problem by being quite rebellious in a fun way. I know my tastes are now very adventurous. Or maybe other peoples are boring.
I found this interesting site years ago, posing this question:
Can you find
three foods such that all three do not go together (by any reasonable definition of foods "going together") but every
pair of them does go together?

Chocolate, potatoes and venison.
Chocolate covered potato crisps are an expensive delicacy. Venison with a chocolate cause is also a delicacy. And venison can go with potatoes.
But a meal of chocolate and venison and potatoes would not be what people would consider 'going together'.
I think I'd just go for the venison bangers and mash, and have the chocolate afterwards in a steamed pudding with custard. :smile:
:shock: Can you really get chocolate covered potato chips where you are? OR do you have to make them? what about mashed with chocolate sauce.?I guess you could dip almost anything in chocolate.
Liver/ chocolate/ onion anyone? grated carrot/ cream cheese/ liver?
Im sorry- i had liver a couple nights ago and cannot forget it easily.

If I made a chocolate venison stew, I'd definitely serve it with potatoes.
I think this is an amazingly interesting problem though becca and will give it more thought.
This problem could be theoretically applied to many activities.
Humans eat- depending on culture and personal taste, our feelings about what goes together and and what does not might be radically different.
Our bodies might have a different opinion too. I kind of like bread and cheese and pickle, but i know I am going to suffer for it.
Three innocent substances + digestive enzymes + villi in the intestines = nightmare + gas + headache + nausea + palpitations.
vinegar + bicarbonate of soda + sugar = hokey pokey

Not sure about 3 foods such as this but has anybody heard of chocolate covered ants? There was mention of them in a set book I had in high school.

Ever hear of a little Mexican sauce known as "mole"? It has a significant amount of chocolate, and it is very good as the basis for a venison/potato stew.
Far too many Euros are extremely ignorant regarding the uses of the products of the cacao, including chocolatl. They've been so thoroughly and blindly indoctrinated by confectioners that they can't even imagine that chocolatl can be used in savory dishes, without any sugar at all.

I could dishes featuring either combination, and most people would enjoy it, so long as their teeeeeeeeny, tiny, narrow little minds weren't pre-primed to reject it by being told what was in it.
It wouldn't bother me to eat something like that. :smile:

In my own cooking experience, no such triad exists.
I also do not have a lot of irrational food superstitions or prejudices.
