9 pairings for Uxi.

classic

The scraped flesh is thick and fatty rather than sweet; sugar turns it into a dessert cream.

classic

Spread thin over a hot tapioca crepe, the oily cream is a Belém breakfast alongside tucumã.

common

Two Amazonian fats stacked; the oil in the flesh barely needs the extra fat but gets it anyway.

common

Warm spice on a fibrous fat that otherwise tastes mostly of itself.

common

Floral sugar softens a texture closer to a nut paste than a fruit.

uncommon

A squeeze is the only acid a very fatty, almost savoury pulp ever gets.

uncommon

Warmth against oil, treated more like a savoury spread than a sweet one.

rare

Two dense Amazonian fats from the same forest floor, closer in texture than in flavour.

wild

Aged salt umami on a fibrous fatty pulp, reading like a very strange savoury spread.
