        15+ years in the wine industry gives a man certain skills… and I’ve earned each one of those bullet points with my blood, sweat and puke over the years.

        Plus, we can go deeper…

        • Twinkies - Prosecco
        • Apple Fritters - Mead
        • HoHos - Cabernet Sauvignon
        • Ding Dongs - Merlot
        • Basic Glazed Donut - Sherry

            That’s like serving berry jam with berry pie. It would be just too much. You want to serve berry pie with ice cream. You want something that complements the flavor, not something that’s the same flavor.

              Fair enough, I didn’t know the intensity of the fritters. I get that,thnx for the reaction.

      Chardonnay isn’t usually vinified sweet enough, sadly, to stand up to Corn Pops and Honeycomb. There probably is one, somewhere, but it’s a reach. You’d really want Sauternes or Tokaji Aszu. They’re produced from grapes infected with a rot that gives them honey flavor notes.

      Champagne and Port I like. Rice Crispies I’m curious about. Why and from where?

        I chose Chard because most are buttery, and which compliments the buttery corn of Corn Pops and the honey in Honeycomb. Didn’t think about the botrytis wines at all tbh - they’re in a class of their own. Thinking high-end granola with lots of fruit there.

    As a viewpoint that ISN’T AI slop, go with the cheapest dry sparkling white you can handle. And, use it INSTEAD of milk, not with it, because carbonation makes things sour, and sour milk is spoiled milk. It won’t taste good. Also, for your own health, PLEASE, I’m BEGGING YOU, do something nonalcoholic.

      use jt instead of milk

      I once did this with Baileys. It was such a good idea in theory. In reality my Xmas morning was ruined and it took nearly an hour to eat the full bowl because momma didny raise no quitters.

      Properly grim though i do not recommend.

        Did the same thing when I turned 21 with a bowl of Cookie Crisp because “lmao im a growned-up now imma eat growned-up food”

        I’d never done combat with a bowl of cereal before, but that was a fight. I made sure to let my friends know what a mistake it was between every bite because my mama raised an honest man. Honest enough, I mean.

    Jokes aside, we italians do actually drink Moscato d’Asti with cakes or pastry on good occasions. It’s not a regular wine, it’s a highly sweet one, which we drink either alongside another sweet food (again, cakes, pastry, sometimes even Pandoro, but it’s much less common with Panettone), or alone.

    (Certainly not with Cap’n Crunch tho, but if that’s your thing, Moscato d’Asti is the one)

    Not sure I like pairing Moscato. It leans very heavily into stone fruit rather than into the berries and cream in Oops All Berries. I like Prosecco better. It can be a bit nutty.

    For me, personally, ideally I want something with some lees aging. That often gets into rich, bready flavors. So a demi sec Champagne or Cremant would work. A rose Cremant d’Alsace maybe even?

    Edit: Also Sherry.

    Is this more of the literal shitposting? Because drinking alcohol with milk will give you intense diarrhea.

    *Lol, I think I actually can’t handle fat all that well and misremembering teenage experiments. What an enlightening comment. >.>

        Ah, like Baileys. I always thought the milk was treated, or the curds removed after addition or something. Can’t really do that if it’s already in stomach tho.

          Bailey’s and cream liquors are probably processed. I was thinking more along the likes of a white russian (coffee cream liquor, vodka, cream). To tell you the truth, that’s the only creamy cocktail I know from the top of my head, so it might not be as popular as I made it out in my first comment.

          edit: And because we’re talking about Bailey’s, I couldn’t help but invite Old Greg.

      It will? Why do wine and cheese with so well together? I’ve had cream in certain drinks before and not had a problem. And cheese with pretty much everything, beer and nachos, yum

      43 con leche is a popular drink in Spain, it’s literally a milk-based long drink. I don’t think it would be as popular as it is if everyone got diarrhea from it. Could be pushing it if you’re drinking those all evening, though.
