The full article is here.
The problem I will sum up here:
Think of three foods
--A) Salted cucumbers
--B) Yogurt
--C) Sugar
Any two of these foods are a good combination
--A and B make tzatziki, a Greek dish.
--A and C make sweet pickles.
--B and C is how people usually eat yogurt.
But the three of them together are not particularly appetizing.
The above example is my favorite of those on the website, but only works if you find you like tzatziki and sweet pickles. I like the former, but not the latter, and my sister is the reverse. It is somewhat subjective.
Some of the more popular answers given involve a mole sauce, which is an instance where you would eat chocolate as the main course rather than a dessert, and fills much the same role the yogurt does in the above example, since a mole sauce is so radically different from most other uses of chocolate.
Another common response involves lemon and milk, justifying it in a panir cheese. I'm not sure I like this answer, since that's a chemical thing, not a flavor thing. But still, it's something to think about. Those two food would work as answers because in any context other than panir, lemon and milk is a bad combination.
What are your thoughts? Can you think of any possible combinations? Do you think it's even possible?
