回復 早洩 #3 的帖子
Let us all cool down, stop and think intellectually, for just one moment.
Now, does a big fat person looks good in loose clothings? If a dark colored person wears dark colored clothings, do you think somehow he gets lost in the darkness? Think a brown skinned Thai beauty wearing a chocolate colored dress. How about a fairly bitter herbal/Chinese tea, would you drink that to accompany bitter melon?
So what is this all about drinking sweet wines with even SWEETER MOONCAKES? Can anyone here explain to me the logic? A good sweet wine, IMHO, would be drunk on it's own, as dessert; food pairings would be limited to strong, salty, and pungent cheeses, or nuts. Moscato d'Asti, is way less sweet than your average moon cake, and gets lost and tasted lean and acidic with the sweet moon cakes, accentuated by the inherent bubbles. Why not drink a Moscato with some not so sweet biscotti? Or on it's own?
A Pedro Ximenez is too complex and valuable for a moon cake; I would drink this with a cigar or not so sweet pecan pie.
I do agree with the person who suggested good old Chinese spirits, or a strong dark Puh-Erh, or fragrant white peony, or Fukianese Iron Kun-Yin. A dark coffee is not bad either, and if grape product is your choice, how about a cognac or grappa? Even a very sweet Turkish tea would be good choice. These can all cut into the over sweetness and oiliness of moon cakes. |
