They say that the best things in life are free. That might be true, but I say the best things in life are fermented. Beer, wine, Tabasco, vinegar, pickles, salami, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, cheese, and chocolate, to name just a few. Fermentation is certainly one of nature’s greatest gifts.
Recognizing how well certain fermented things pair with other fermented things, the Pike Pub is offering a flight of very special truffles paired with their award winning ales. Indeed, it sounds decadently yummy. From their monthly newsletter:
