Some fast-food chains have long sold bite-sized food like KFC's PopcornChicken, White Castle's Chicken Rings (think onion ring-shaped chicken), or Sonic's potato Tots.
These twosomes are often created more for corporate expediency than because customers are clamoring for a chance to eat popcornchicken and a taco in the same meal.
Drier-style, brut Champagnes--the genuine, French articles--pull off a balancing act between mild sweetness and crisp acidity that gives the drink a latchkey to unlock surprising flavor romances with everything from fried chicken to popcorn to Parmesan cheese, and nearly anything smoky or nutty.
