Like every month, Laurent Mariotte challenges Olivier Poels to find agreements between seasonal products and the wines from his cellar in the program "La Table des bons vivant".

But this time the challenge becomes more complicated, because the columnist will have to offer non-alcoholic drinks to pair with grilled meat in particular. 

Tired of tasting oysters with wine?

Do you need adventure and fun on your plate?

Olivier Poels has the solution by offering this month three food and drink pairings off the beaten track in Laurent Mariotte's show,

Oysters with the flavors of Connemara

"I'm going to offer you an original chord that will sound like an uppercut," warns Olivier Poels.

"It's about pairing oysters with whiskey. But be careful, not just any ... you need a peaty whiskey like Connemara, for example."

An ideal mixture to bring out the iodized side of oysters.

The trick for this to work well: choose oysters of size 1 or 2 to have a little lamb's lettuce. 

Roast chicken and beer

It's Sunday, the family comes home and you're betting on a sure bet of French cuisine: roast chicken.

Perfect !

But to surprise your guests a little, why not offer them an abbey beer to play on the flavors?

"Try a roast chicken with a very golden, crispy skin that you accompany with an endive salad. You will have bitterness in the taste and then, I recommend an abbey beer", explains the columnist.

"A triple with this side, again, a little smoky, a little caramelized carried by bitterness. And you will see that the game of the roast chicken, the little fat, the crispy side of the skin and the beer, c 'is really a success. "

Red meat at teatime 

Finally, last agreement and not the least, meat and tea.

“Try a Ceylon tea, for example, with a curry or, more surprisingly, try a grilled red meat and a royal tea. It is a tannic tea like red wine. And I assure you that in terms of taste emotions, something is happening! "

It only remains to test.
