Day Three Hundred and Sixty Three : Airco Marriage Mondays

Seeing as the Packers won last night's Superbowl, I thought it would be fitting to utilize yesterday's Wisconsin contestant, Airco, the mixed milk hickory smoked cheese from Carr Valley Creamery as the star of today's Marriage Mondays.

Instead of suggesting beverage pairings today for our dear Airco, I thought we would suggest fruit / vegetable contestants, that would lead to a lovely sweet creamy smoky recipe.

Contestant # 1 : The Tomato - Originally native to South America, this omnipresent fruit comes in 7500 different variations. High in natural antioxidants, vitamins A and C, they are known to help prevent cancer as well. Cooked, eaten, and enjoyed the world over, our first contestant transcends language and cultural barriers. Will it have what it takes to win over our Wisconsin star today?



Contestant # 2 : The Eggplant - Considered a berry due its nicotinoid alkaloid rich seeds, our second contestant hails from India. Now cultivated the world over, in many different varieties, colors, shapes, and sizes, it is one of those foods I find people either love or hate, indifference is uncommon. Will the Airco fall in love with our nicotine heavy contestant?



Contestant # 3 : The Mushroom - Our last and final contestant is the right type of fungus, more specifically, the supple meaty flavorful body of a fungus grown at ground level. The many varieties of edible mushrooms are high in dietary fiber, protein, niacin, riboflavin, and thiamine. Delicate, meaty, earthy, are a few words to describe our dear mushrooms but will the phrase perfect match work with our mushrooms and the Airco?



Stay tuned to find out!
