A culinary puzzle:Incompatible Food Triads. (It's sort of a subjective problem, but I trust MeCha will have good ideas.)
I doubt that one will fly, ferociouskitty. Rick Bayless picks mole de cacahuate as one of the best. "It's thickened with a good amount of peanuts...". Most moles are thickened with nuts or corn.
Having said that, the kind of chocolate used in moles tends to be bitter and high in cocoa solids. Milk chocolate is good with peanut butter. Peanut butter is good with chicken. But try putting, say, a bar of Milka Chocolate Alpine Milk in your chicken satay and we might have a winner.
Great puzzle, Wolfdog, and I like the idea that it might have been Sellars who dreamt it up.
