Was passt zum Essen?
Konkrete Ideen für deinen Teller. Mit einfachen Erklärungen statt starrer Regeln.
Die bekannteste Regel zum Thema lautet „Weisswein zu Fisch, Rotwein zu Fleisch“, und sie liegt ungefähr so oft daneben wie richtig. Gegrillter Thunfisch verträgt Spätburgunder; ein Kalbsschnitzel mit Zitrone verträgt keinen Barolo.
Was tatsächlich zählt, sind vier Grössen: Säure, Süsse, Salz und Fett — im Essen wie im Glas. Wer sie im Blick hat, kann jede Kombination selbst abschätzen, auch die, für die keine Regel existiert.
Die Artikel gehen deshalb von echten Gerichten aus, nicht von Kategorien: Spargel, Käse, Curry, Pizza, Wild. Jeweils mit der Begründung, warum eine Begleitung trägt und was sie kippen lässt.
