10 pairings for Jus de choucroute.

Porc

common

Brine the chop in it: lactic acid seasons and tenderises in the same six hours.

Boil the potatoes in it. Starch takes the salt and the sourness right through.

Aneth

common

The herb was probably in the crock already. It just makes the link explicit.

Concombre

common

A ready-made pickling liquid with live culture. Slice, submerge, wait a day.

Vodka

uncommon

Polish chaser logic: salt and acid flatten the ethanol burn immediately.

Shake them and you have a vinaigrette that is already salted and cultured.

Tomate

uncommon

It does what celery salt and lemon do in a Bloody Mary, in a single pour.

Lactic acid is gentler on iodine than vinegar. A better mignonette, quietly.

Crème

rare

Whisked into crème fraîche it gives buttermilk acidity with a cabbage shadow.

Sulfurous salt-acid against cocoa butter. Sounds wrong, reads like passionfruit.
