A Nice Palate Cleansing Paring For Tangiers

[beachkidcb]

Im sure this is not new to anyone, but ive never read it, so ill post it and see what everyone thinks..

Typically when im smoking i get very thirsty and drink a lot of water. However, I had an idea and wanted to do a paring with shisha [tangiers, as its my primary smoke these days] since i have a background in restaurants/bartending.

I found that having a grape, especially red and black since they are less sweet, yes (1) grape between pulls on the hookah is a great way to cleanse the palate of some smoke and flavor, allowing each and every preceeding hit to taste like that perfect pull after you neat up the bowl properly.

Rasberry sorbet is a bit better.

yes, sorbet is a traditional midcourse, but the point of using 1 grape, and i stress 1 grape only, is that it not sweet, wont leave any residue in your mouth, and its tannic [bitter and astringent] therefore removing all prior flavors from the mouth [which includes the smoke here] to bring your palate back to sort of flavor balance.

Not to mention they arent prone to melting and you dont have to rush to eat them. Edited May 19, 2009 by beachkidcb

i dig it, i was just messin about the rasberry.
i used to have a snack foods tray with my bowls, you know, crackers, cheese, grapes, goat cheese.
these days i usually just have a red wine, typically a cab, sometimes sirah. I never drink reisling, but tomorrow i'm going to have a pinot noir with a bowl of jasmine and vanilla.
