Couldn’t agree more. Simpler the precise pop of flavor the better I enjoy it.
Throw in some cucumber and you have the makings of a California Roll.
Now I want sushi…
Ditto. Sushi combos are some of the best examples!

Related to the condiment thread, the combination of miso and mayonnaise (especially Kewpie) is great. Can be used as a base for dressings and as a coating for chicken breasts or salmon fillets.
Here’s a recipe I’ve posted before that’s a winner!

There is no rule against any repeats — in fact, there really aren’t any rules. Plus I actually find it interesting how many likes we all have in common (garlic/ginger, or lemon/rosemary, etc.)
I adore sautéed shrooms on top of good baguette with melted Taleggio on top. So I’ll add
mushrooms & cheese
And you’re right re: fresh tomatoes. They do need salt.
fresh COTC, good butter, sea salt
smoked salmon & horseradish
white asparagus & prosciutto
ham & peas
teawurst & cucumber

A now-closed nearby Japanese sushi restaurant with the boats circling the counter occasionally offered steak nigiri, making for a rarely found “surf-and-turf” sushi meal.
