I like cucumber but not seafood...i feel like cheese would already be too strong to pair with fish let alone gorgonzola...You'd think even 'upper class ppl' might've heard of pocari or at least the waiter. tho someone in her line of work might need to keep some nausea/stomach pills on them at all time

yay glasses guy

It's a concept in Western fine dining cuisine that cheese and fish don't go together to the point where it's generally stated as a matter of course, but the Filet-O-Fish at McDonald's is super popular.

The concept of not pairing certain ingredients together is based off the logic of "I've never eaten these together, that's weird so I won't do it..." in other words it's lack of adventurous spirit! Eat random things together either regret or rejoice your choices after! At some point you get a feel for what sort of unlikely foods actually pair well with each other.

I agree with the spirit, and I myself have tried some unholy pairings, but white fish with Gorgonzola is plainly deranged

well i don't like seafood to begin with but i get how some ppl can enjoy the combo, might depend on the strength level tho since some cheeses are stronger than others but if it is a cheap diner bar/izakaya at least it won't be overpriced lol

i've had maple bacon donuts, not rly into sweet and meat versus spicy and sweet, it was tolerable but i'd only eat it when my brother buys it versus going outta my way to order it myself
