Inspiration: Interesting flavor pairings

Thanks to my lovely new book The Flavour Thesaurus I am inspired. Expect pictures of these pairing experiments in the near future. Feel free to comment recipes or additional pairings of your own. 

Interesting pairings I'd like to try:

Goat cheese or Greek yogurt +

• coriander
• pear (with either a chardonnay or manzanilla sherry wine pairing)
• watermelon 
• watercress

Mushroom + Blue Cheese

       > polenta with gorgonzola and blue cheese

          > mushroom, blue cheese, and leek soup

Mushroom + Egg

          > mushroom fritters

Watermelon +

• chili (this will be some type of confection)
• cinnamon
• coriander leaf (possibly a salsa-- red onion, fresh green chili's etc.)
• cucumber + feta cheese
• oyster
• pork
• tomato
