On taste (mis)pairings.

Elise made a delicious homemade pizza last night. I bought a delicious beer, a Hefeweizen from Trader Joe’s. I took a draught from the beer first. Delicious! I love weissbeers. So unique. Then I tried some pizza. Good, good. But why does it taste like banana to me? Elise wondered the same thing, after hearing my comment (which I did not give until she pried). Then I took another sip from the beer: Ah: so that’s why it tastes a little off: my beer tastes like banana. Fascinating.
