I just learned about “Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)”.
I’m sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.
Those are fairly subjective, but:
- Good+good = bad: garlic and fish, cheese sauce and pasta, soft yolk egg and rice
- Bad+bad = good: soprano aria and rap
Doesn’t cheese sauce + pasta = mac and cheese? Do you not like mac and cheese?
It is mac and cheese, and I find its texture strongly disagreeable. Same deal with the soft yolk egg with rice.
Just personal preferences, mind you.
Understandable. I have a strong aversion to lots of foods based solely on the texture, but thankfully, mac and cheese is not one of them!
Also very subjective: I would not say cheese sauce is good on its own. I only eat it with tortilla chips, pasta, or Taco Bell’s nacho fries.
I don’t. It’s the texture - I can’t exactly pinpoint what, but it feels off, in a way that (say) cheese sauce on harder carbs doesn’t.
I’ve had both good and horrible mac 'n cheese and I think the difference was the cheese but I remember having that feeling you mentioned. Have you tried different ones? Maybe there’s one you’ll enjoy.
