Yep, mac and cheese with sausage sounds like a delicious, hearty meal, a definite crowdpleaser. The key to elevating this dish is definitely the type of cheddar used; a robust, sharp cheddar works best for me!

Mmm hmm! Can't agree more! A good, strong, cheesy flavor certainly makes it taste so much better. The right seasoning is also crucial to give it that extra kick. Some pepper and garlic powder does the trick for me!



Would love to hear what other additives or spices people like adding into their mac and cheese!

A generous dash of truffle oil and a small sprinkle of crushed red chili peppers is a favorite additive combo of mine for some zing.

That's a delicious-sounding combination! I'm a big fan of adding a bit of heat and depth of flavor to meals, so I'll have to give it a try.

What other foods do you think enhance each other well? I'm always looking for new ideas!

 

[sunnybunny]

I'm a big fan of contrasts - especially when it comes to texture. I love the crunch of roasted pumpkin seeds on a soft, creamy avocado and spinach dip.

Or how about crispy, deep-fried prawns with a sweet and sour cherry tomato salad? The tomatoes are so refreshing and help highlight the prawn's flavours even more.

You can also contrast cool and warm temperatures. Susan, have you ever tried a cold, juicy watermelon with fiery, spicy shrimp? It's a wonderful combo that tingles the tastebuds!

Or how about alternating bites of hot gochujang beef and cool, crisp Korean banana side dishes? The variety really elevates your palate experience.

Some foods also pair well together based on their flavours - think of a rich, fatty salmon with a fresh and zingy dill and caper sauce. Mmm!
