“Kick it up a notch” with Emeril Lagasse, or match “Flavor Pals” with Jean-George Vongerichten; these combinations have stood the test of time:
Iced Original Coke and Simply Limeade, three to one.
Kraft Mac and Cheese with sauteed hot links coins stirred in — hot dogs don’t work — and whole berry cranberry sauce on the side.
Toasted Grilled Cheese Sandwich with mustard and bread-and-butter pickles on the side.
Ham or Chicken Sandwich with Major Grey chutney spread instead of mayo and mustard.
Fruit Cup drizzled with Grand Marnier.
Fresh Pineapple Chunks topped with freshly ground peppercorns.
Sauteed Salt and Peppered Salmon Filets, topped in the pan with a drizzle of maple syrup just before serving.
Canned Baked Beans with a tablespoon of molasses and two bay leaves, stirred in.
Chicken Salad seasoned with half a teaspoon of curry powder or garam masala.
Malt Vinegar on French Fries and Sub Sandwiches.
Salt. “Cooking is all about hard work and salt.” What more needs to be said?
