Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Some foods are meant to go together. In fact, many of them pair so well that they have become the most
classic comfort foods. In an effort to bypass the well-known, I first set out to collect the 8 worst food pairings, but
was so disgusted by the idea of pickled herring and cheesecake that I was forced to stop. I realized that it is for good
reason that some foods get paired: they taste great together and make such good combinations that it is hard to think
of one without the other. These are definitely a few of the best:
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Macaroni and cheese
- Fish and chips (or burgers and fries)
- Bacon and eggs
- Milk and cookies
- Pancakes and syrup
- Gin and tonic
- Spaghetti and meatballs
Salt and pepper is, arguably, the ultimate combination, though they are seasonings and not exactly "food". Here are some of the runners up from the list above: Butter and toast, cupcakes and sprinkles, tomato soup and grilled cheese, cheese and crackers and Ben and Jerry’s.
I know there are lots of others. What are we missing?

I had blue cheese with steak last night - awesome, but not exactly "hard to think of one without the other"...

When I was a child, the combination of chocolate and oranges seemed magical. I loved eating an orange with my hot cocoa.
