But I look at other pairings as well. I swear that certain soft drinks taste better with certain kinds of ice and cups. But I digress....
Another pairing I thought about recently involves crackers. We all buy lots of crackers over the holiday season. And we pair them with cheese or a variety of spreads and dips. And I've realized that I prefer certain crackers with certain things. Not sure I can explain why, but try them and see what you think.
- I think that traditional spinach dip (the one you find on the back of Knorr soup mix) goes best with Triscuits.
- For my shrimp dip, I buy traditional Townhouse oval wheat crackers.
- And for our family tradition Kajun Krab Dip. (Yes, with "k" and in a plastic tub.), nothing works better than good ol' Wheat Thins.
- Milton's Everything Multi-Grain Crackers: They say these are great all-occasion crackers; inspired by the everything bagel, they're buttery and coated with five different seeds.
- Triscuit Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Crackers: I have not been a fan of these when I've had them before, but I am interested in the idea that they would be great next to a cheese plate.
- Sensible Portions Pita Bites, Black Olive Feta: These are dippers, ready for scooping up hummus.
- Koyo Organic Brown Rice Chips, Tamari: Apparently these crispy little things are delicious all on their own.
- American Vintage Wine Biscuits with White Wine, Shallot and Cayenne: The tasters compared them to cookies. Sounds like they would be perfect alongside a cocktail or glass of vino.
