Pickle combo of the week.

Things just got a little spicier for our Sweet Cajun pickle. My spontaneous ADHD impulse is to thank for this combo. As I was putting together the perfect farmers market platter, two single foods stood out to me, namely the Sweet Cajun Pickle and the Habenerro Chedar Cheese. Each of the foods stand very well on their own, but as I have come to learn about relationships, some of the best ones stem from independence. Luckily I followed my match-maker impulsion and stumbled upon a most heavinly combo: Spicy Sweet Cajuns and Spicy Cheese!(below)


Now what you need to know about this taste experience is that it doesn't unfold like a typical food pairing. Instead of consisting of a series of taste notes, the Sweet Cajun/Habenerro Cheese combo resembles an elongated violin note. The cheese the body of the violin, and the Sweet Cajun pickle the hand grasped bow, the two are in contact throughout the experience. The cheese offers a tangy yet nutty-like base which underpins the initial sweet crisp vibrato of the sweet cajun, and this single note builds to a creshendo of firery spice tranisition. And just as the peak has left its mark in this glorious continuim, the two exit quietly together and reverberate warmly within the music hall that is your mouth for minutues to come. I hope you enjoy this beautiful pickle combo, and check back later fora Hbp pickle art colloboration you can wear.
