Best food/drink combinations?

Cookies and milk is pretty much a supreme iconic choice.

However for me, with really salty foods I really like coke/pepsi/whatever (they all taste the same to me). So things like pizza or pretzels are amazing with a nice cola.

And strangely enough, I can't stand just drinking cola on its own. But with those foods, I think it's nearly essential (maybe not for the pretzels, since beer goes super well with them too... but with pizza, it's an absolute must).

I've been trying to cut back on my soda intake but whenever I do have it, it's usually either with burgers or pizza, rarely by itself.  I'm a coke guy, but I actually feel like Dr. Pepper and pizza go best together.

Oh honey, tissue paper & vodka is so popular with dancers, catwalk models and actresses... that I'm surprised nobody has opened a restaurant yet!

But not everybody likes this... I prefer tequila with my tissue as it has far less calories.

Tequila is one of the healthiest drinks around (Cat. A Superbooze) and with enough of it, it even has the ability to make you speak Spanish!

Italian sausage (sandwich) and a cherry coke. It's something magical about the mustard and the sweetness of the Coke and then the cherry flavor which makes me feel like a 13 year old - or basically 1 year younger than my maturity level.

If you are on the East Coast at least you can easily add a soft pretzel to the combo above - the salt of which then adds an OMG extra layer of culinary orgasmic genius, the result of which in humans is often something like this:

Hyderabad Biryani and Coca Cola.

I can't think of any food that is truly made amazing by being paired with a drink. Many of my favorite foods are either Asian cuisine or fancy cheeses. Fancy cheeses are best eaten without a drink at all (often paired with wines, but I don't drink alcohol). Some of the cheeses are so strong that they throw off the taste of water. And the best Asian food is served with Thai iced tea/coffee or a salty lassi/fruit lassi, but that has more to do with those drinks being incredible if made correctly and being served in Asian restaurants than pairing well with certain foods.

Then there is the dry pot served at my favorite restaurant, but the Szechuan peppercorns in that dish make any carbonated drinks a singularly bad idea; the fizz hits your numbed tongue and it feels like a firecracker has gone off in your mouth.

So in short... I've got nothing.

Just ran out and got a pumpkin spice muffin and coffee to help me deal with a work stress related situation .....really good comfort combo in the Fall (I think this is the first day of Fall) ......I can eat any muffin and not "need" coffee and I drink coffee constantly without food but I can't actually eat THIS kind of muffin without coffee .......
