"The elegant sweet nutty flavours of Dragonwell can go well with shrimp if the sauce is not too intense (Dragonwell shrimp is in fact a classic dish from the Shanghai region). And I can see the oceany nori-like umami of certain sencha against many seafood dishes." - limster, on pairing tea with food

"Why do restaurants hate chicken? Did a chicken kill someone's mom? Are they involved in terrorist activities? What is it to make so many otherwise transcendent restaurants kick chicken to the curb, taste-wise?" - hyacinthgirl

"But when you really want to warm your bones, a hot toddy is the way to go. My recipe is much simpler than the one above. Just put a shot of any brown liquor (bourbon's my preference, but brandy and dark rum are good, too) in a coffee cup with a squeezed lemon wedge and sugar to taste. Top off with hot water and stir with a cinnamon stick (optional)." - alanbarnes
