a whole bag of salt and vinegar potato chips..not that *I* would eat a whole bag...just sayin...

Mmm. I agree. They're delicious, and I totally confess to eating an entire bag, then trying to drink tea. Not the best, but they're so tasty!

Food in general. Thats why I don't eat and drink tea at the same time.

if youre not trying to make a precise taste analysis, tea goes very well with something sweet and rich, they kinda balance each other out, but the food does mask some of the more subtle tea flavors.

I would say that anything with a simple and very strong flavor, such as sugar, candy, chips (crisps for the Brits), and so on; especially if your palate has become accustomed to such things.

I think that also covers a lot of what's already been specified

Chocolate really messes up my taste when it comes to Shupu!

A nice fruity dark chocolate really goes well with delicate fruity white teas (bai mu dan!), and floral sweet and spicy oolongs, though.

Another reason to miss it.

Whisky, wine, blue cheese, cigar and pipe last night seemed to dull my taste buds a little. Strange.

uhhh....you might want to steep double the normal time to taste tea after that. Maybe triple, like a teashot

Celery, plain. Even though it's supposedly 90% water it does leave a lingering flavor in the taste buds. Go ahead, try it.
