What does mint jelly taste like?

It has a very tangy taste. Vinegar is the aftertaste of it, which we didn't like.

Why do they serve mint jelly with lamb?

People eat it with lamb because it tastes good, the flavours work well together and the mint cuts through the greasiness of lamb. A throwback from medieval cuisine which often combined meat with sweet fruit condiments or sweet aromas in part due to inexistence of new world ingredients and arguably to mask off flavors.

Which of the following can be served as accompaniment for roast lamb?

If you're already roasting a lamb in your oven, toss some spring vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, and thyme and slide them in alongside your protein for an easy side. Use tender new carrots, parsnips, and baby potatoes to showcase the flavors of spring.

What red wine goes best with lamb chops?

Pinot noir, Bordeaux blends, and the Italian reds mentioned earlier all pair well with lamb chops, but you can also venture into medium- and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot if that suits your tastes.

Which beer is best for fish?

Amber Ale and Fish Tacos The fish, which is typically sea bass, can be grilled or battered and deep fried. A citrusy, malty amber ale balances the smoky fish flavors without erasing them. Try New Belgium's Fat Tire Amber Ale for a balanced hops and malt experience.

What beer goes well with scallops?

Scallops and American IPA Bitter notes can help level off and balance sweet ones. And that's why the bitterness of hop-forward American IPA is a perfect match for the natural sweetness of scallops.

Can you eat seafood with beer?

Pale Ales, if they were to win a high school superlative, are the best all-around beer for seafood. You really can not go wrong with a Pale Ale pairing. For this chef, my favorites would be the seafood appetizer portion of the meal; shrimp cocktail and oysters (raw or cooked).
