So, you think you’ve heard it all. You know that cheese pairs well with wine, and wine pairs well with chocolate. You’ve even drank certain varieties of wine while enjoying specific meals. We bet, you haven’t thought to pair food with the movies you watch, though. What a fun way to celebrate an evening at home with your spouse or group of friends!
Website, Apex, suggests the following film and food combinations. Let them inspire the creative chef in you. Here are a few to get you started:
- Pulp Fiction and a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. This plays off a scene where the characters are talking about how the French call American cheeseburgers “a Royal with cheese.”
- Beetlejuice and Shrimp Cocktail. During the Day-O scene, the shrimp cocktail sitting on the table comes to life therefore inspiring this hilarious pairing.
- The Hundred Foot Journey and an Omelet. According to the film, a true chef knows how to cook the perfect omelet.
Part of enjoying food is learning to have fun with it. Think of all the amazing pairings you could make out of your personal film library. Ask your friends to get in on the fun by making menu and movie suggestions, too. The next time you have something to celebrate, try Apex’s ideas or come up with a few of your own.
