Photography: Christina SimonsA recipe with beer to celebrate the launch of IMBB? Something with beer batter, perhaps zucchini fritters made with a splash of lager. No, at Tomato we prefer to keep things simple so we will match some food with beer instead of mixing it up. The temptation is to match Guinness with oysters but as you can see from these two links we have already covered this ground.Our offering has to be one of the two most surprising matches we discovered. Stout goes well with both chocolate and cheese. Tomato’s suggestion is a large chunk of Bontazola (pictured) with Chimay Stout, made by Belgium Trappist monks.Bontazola is made using traditional methods. It is a sweet, fruity aromatic version of Gorgonzola, which has been being made for over 900 years.Meanwhile, the Trappist monks have been matching cheese with beer since 1876.I’m just wondering if I should enter my chocolate and beer match to Wine Blogging Wednesday, hosted by Chocolate&Zucchini on 7 September.
