Scientific method to determine which foods go together or harmonise with each other in terms of taste.

However, food pairing should not be confused with "wine food pairing", i.e. "which wine goes with which food". See also under wine enjoyment and drinking culture.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
