Old Goat
Administrator
Alright herd, listen up.
I don’t usually wander too far into the fruit patch — I’m more the type to chew on barks, nuts, and the occasional dessert blend — but I stumbled across something worth sharing.
The Baker’s Almanac put together a massive Fruit Flavor Pairing Chart.
Think of it as the ultimate cheat sheet for when your brain stalls out at “strawberry + cream” and refuses to mooove further.
Why It’s Worth a Look
Covers everything from the usual suspects (apple, banana, strawberry) to the “fancy farmer’s market fruits” (yuzu, dragon fruit).
Not just fruits — it shows which herbs, nuts, spices, and even boozy extras go with what.
Updated often so you don’t get stuck chewing on outdated ideas.
A Few Juicy Combos Straight from the Chart
Apple → cinnamon + caramel (classic, but always a crowd-pleaser)
Mango → ginger + coconut milk (tropical punch to the face)
Strawberry → basil + balsamic (yes, basil — trust the goat)
How I’ll Use It
Give my custards and desserts a fruity twist without butchering them.
Find weird “why does this actually work?” pairings like pear + sage.
Throw curveballs into recipes so my mixes don’t taste like the same old goat fodder.
Your Turn
So herd, here’s my question:
What fruit combos have you tried that made you nod like a wise old goat?
Any pairings that sounded good on paper but turned into barnyard slop in the tank?
Got a local/seasonal fruit that isn’t on this chart but deserves a spot?

Go ahead, browse it. Then come back and share the wildest, weirdest, or most delicious blends you’d actually vape.
