8. Eggs
As suggested by our social media followers, Champagne and a breakfast treat can go down very well. Eggs Benedict is one option that would work really well with very mature Champagne. Quail eggs are another popular choice. London restaurant Angelus serves its own Champage – Angelium – with hand cut steak tartar with fried quail’s egg. There is also a recipe for Champagne poached eggs, which should make your morning go that little bit easier.
Hello, I just wanted to point out that the ‘fancy’ word to describe how your mouth perceives food and liquids is palate, not palette. I say fancy because, strictly speaking, it is the roof of your mouth and, as I’m sure you know, most of our taste buds are located on the tongue. Cheerio.
As the roof of the mouth was once considered the seat of the sense of taste, palate can also refer to this sense itself, as in the phrase “a discriminating palate”. By further extension, the flavor of a food (particularly beer or wine) may be called its palate, as when a wine is said to have an oaky palate.
Pork pies. Sounds daft, but they work fantastically well with a dry, biscuity Champagne.
Fancy schmancy. A few of these pairings are fine. A great bottle of champagne or $200 bottle of wine goes fine with whatever tastes good to you. Blah the rules.
