Alright cu/ck/s, I need your help. I'm making a dinner, and I need an appetizer to match my bottle of Furmint. I got the other parts of the dinner figured out, but the appetizer is a hard nut to crack. I barely found any recipes with Furmint, and the only pairing that is recommended is Foie Gras, which is not going to happen due to monetary reasons. So, what would you recommend? I'd prefer something made with chicken, but if you have any better ideas, I'll be glad to read them.

Pic related, that's the bottle except I've got the 2015 vintage.

Octopus. Greek/Mediterranean style.

Braise it.

Sounds good, my man. Not the best option tho, because my oven is soon to be occupied by a piece of porkchop. But I guess it's a start, if nothing else works, I'll just make some kind of salad with octopus & italian spices.

You can braise on a stove top if you have a dutch oven or a similar tool. Just wrap the top and 420 Braise It.

Well, I could do that. I'll wait a little for other suggestions, but if nothing better pops up, I'll go get some octopus.

Well you could always do horderves instead of a full on appetizer. A little elderberry wine, some red meat and some cheese and a cracker...bam, fucking finger food. Easy and quick, plus you don't have to try to go find octopus tentacles.

I thought about this as a last resort, but I really want to try this bottle tonight, so I'll give the octopus a go.

Not even so-called "experts" can tell wines apart, and here you are, a faggot wrestling over what do with your "furmint" whatever the fuck that is

If the one recommendation you can find is foie, why not do something with a chicken liver mousse? That was restaurants poor man my sub when foie gras was still illegal, and you can jack up the richness with bacon fat or something.

Maybe, some kind of live paté with some toast or crackers could work, but to be honest the octopus sounds more simple. If I can't find any, I'll go with this.

OP could throw down fucking taziki and pita chips and no one would give a single fuck. Overthinking food is a terrible offense.

Pablo Picasso knew when to stop painting, cooks need to know when to stop cooking.

Well the only one who's in the position to care is me, and I do care. If it was about having a party, I would go with snacks and beer. But it's not a party and I want to pair my wine with some good food, because fuck knows when I'll be able to lay my hands on one of these again. So thanks for the advice, fucktard.

Welp, no octopus here, so I bought some chicken liver and canadian style bacon, some cheddar, and a baguette. Hope it'll turn out good! Thanks for the help, I'll post results if I don't fuck up.
