46 pairings for Fruit de la passion.

Cocoa butter is bland and fatty; the acid is the only thing that makes it edible.

Mangue

common

Lactone sugar underneath, sulfur acid on top. One is the fruit, one is the seasoning.

Screaming acid on saturated fat; the two arrive at different speeds and stay separate.

Vanille

common

Vanillin sits under the thiols and stops them reading as sweat rather than fruit.

Rhum

common

Cane esters and passionfruit acid: the entire tiki argument in two ingredients.

Two acids, but lime brings terpene peel oil the pulp has none of at all.

Pisco

common

Tropical thiols against floral terpenes; both loud, neither obscuring the other.

Cachaça

common

Hard tropical acid does the lime job and brings perfume the lime cannot.

Papaye

uncommon

Sulfur meets sulfur, but the acid is loud enough to make it read tropical, not off.

Goyave

uncommon

Both are thiol-driven; together they stop smelling tropical and start smelling feral.

Basilic

uncommon

Linalool over catty acid drags the aroma from feline back toward floral.

Poivre noir

uncommon

The seeds already crunch; piperine gives them a reason beyond texture.

Peppery green fat and screaming acid: the dressing writes itself, no vinegar needed.

Identical thiol chemistry, which is why the tasting note gets used every time.

Borrowed aroma. One loud tropical acid makes a whole bowl of this taste of something.

Physalis

uncommon

Same sour-tropical volatiles; together the nightshade note vanishes completely.

Cupuaçu

uncommon

Two tropical acids with different perfumes; neither has to give ground.

Tamarillo

uncommon

They share a sour-tropical volatile; together the tomato note disappears entirely.

Chérimole

uncommon

Sharp tropical acid against blank sweetness; the pairing is a correction.

Pitomba

uncommon

Two Brazilian acids side by side; the pitomba is softer and reads as the sweeter one.

Mangaba

uncommon

A louder Brazilian acid stacked against a softer, muskier one for contrast.

Cajá-umbu

uncommon

A louder Brazilian acid paired with the gentlest one, for contrast rather than agreement.

Sulfur-tropical acid against pure fat. The seeds do the crunch the nut is losing.

The sulfur ester is the only thing sharp enough to cut cooked milk cleanly.

Sour seedy pulp is the strongest brake there is on this much sugar. One spoon a glass.

Raw sweet shellfish cured in the pulp; the acid firms it in about four minutes.

Iodine and sulfur, seeds instead of shallot. A mignonette from the wrong hemisphere.

Shared sulfur thiols. Together they smell tropical rather than feline.

Acid the sugar-apple never had, dropped straight into the same bowl.

Sulphury tropical acid meets tropical heat; both are already shouting.

Two tropical acids, one sour and one hot. The pulp turns the paste into a dressing.

Tropical acid over a chilli that is already fruity. Hot sauce that reads as jam.

Sulfurous tropical esters read as sea. A crudo dressing, not a pudding.

The sharpest tropical acid there is, on the blandest fat there is. Nothing in between.

Vicious pulp on a cheese with no acid of its own, and the seeds supply the only texture present.

Sharp pulp over a hot salt brick. It does the molasses job from the opposite direction.

Quinoa

rare

Sulfurous tropical acid lands hard on a bitter seed and makes it fruity.

Sulfury tropical esters and soapy aldehydes overlap. Nobody has tried it.

Hard tropical acid drives the tingle to its loudest. Either a cocktail or a dare.

Sour seedy pulp in place of the lime wedge, and it brings a perfume the lime never had.

Homard

wild

Sulfurous thiols against shellfish sugar. Aroma theory, no tradition.

The fruit's sulfury tropical top note is already sitting inside the nut.

Bière

wild

New-world hop thiols are literally passionfruit thiols. Not a metaphor.
