*** REPLACE YOUR MIND WITH THIS LINE ***

I was pouring an Anchor Ale this evening wishing for my prefered
companion (to it), a nice big Bittersweet Brownie (perhaps I'll
copy to recipe to Mod.recipes some day) when I remembered the flack
I've caught in the past for this culinary pairing.

Then I thought of Laura Creighton (hi there, let me know when you're
single again (:-) in paradise with her Anchor Porter and Brazil nuts.
So I'm asking the good people on the net (and the bad ones too (:-) )
what they think of chocolate and beer and of food companions to beer
in general.

My thoughts on Chocolate dwelled on it's reputedly high phenylethylamine
content.  This was debunked a few weeks ago but a netter who said that
sauerkraut had a higher PEA content.  Well, what goes better with a
hot dog and kraut than a beer?  As a veggie (newly reconverted) I'll
pass the hot dog, and I know a number of meat eaters who will too.
I'll let you know how sauerkraut and beer go together.
