When I got home from Monks on friday I was greeted with a little feast. Karin had bought some crayfish and made a Västerbotten-cheese pie. The pie was amazing with a distinct cheesy aroma from the salty cheese.
The crayfish was also nice. They had soft shells, nice texture and saltyness. However they where a bit small and lacked some dill flavour. I don't know for sure which ones we had but they where from Pandalus and bought at Vinn stormarknad.
But now I had a small problem that I've been thinking about for a while. What beer works well with crayfish? Personally I went with a nice wheat beer. But maybe something else is more suiting. So I stretch the question forward to whoever might read this: What do you prefer to drink with your crayfish?It appears that I have already rated Franziskaner. I did however rate it yesterday as well and came up with an almost identical score. Only differed 0,2 points.
Nice friday you had! I think that a Belgian Blond maybe can work with the saltyness and dill. And for the Västerbotten pie a nice American Pale Ale.
ReplyDeleteHm, maybe I will try to make a Västerbotten pie my self! -smile-
I can recommend a can of nice cold Dale's Pale Ale for both. Was great!

SN Pale Ale worked well for both.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, might have to try both a blond and a pale ale next time. Thanks for the tips guys.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely make a Västerbotten pie mate. They are fantastic :)
Nils Oscars Kalasöl is great for crayfish!
