This is based off the song Too Sweet By Hozier
Okay so the song can be interpreted in a few different ways.
The song is about a person who prefers the realest things that people tend to dislike for just how blunt the flavours are and in their rawest form(||Neat whiskey|| and black coffee) and there lover is fasley sweet (You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate - The rest of you like you're the TSA) Heaven's gate is a cult and the TSA is the tsa
The song is about a man who feels his lover is too good for him, naturally sweet while he feels naturally bitter
Both would have goat cheese as it is a very pungent cheese and not liked by many at least not without something sweet to go along. Fresh goat cheese, florette goat brie, maybe Humboldt fog because it's still a goat cheese with a strong flavour but it's not as strong and it's a bit more fudgy in texture. Possible some smoked cheese as well because it's a strong flavour and "Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?", so possibly some smoked cheddar and or Gouda.
For the Partner(1) cheese Possibly some Goat Gouda because it's sweet but also kinda tangy? Like maybe to represent that they aren't quite authentic to themselves even tho the cheese if a favourite of mine.
Or for partner 1 there is a cheese called caramel cheese that's debated if it's even cheese and more cheese by product because of how it's made and it would fit the theme.
For the pairings of Partner(1) Blackberry Jelly because jelly is made from juice and has a lot of sugar added, and it pairs well with the goat cheese.
For the singing partner for fruit- Strawberries as they aren't what people tend to think of them ass, they aren't always sweet and can be kinda bitter,
Maybe some unripe dragon fruit as it doesn't have much of its own taste and not many people like it
Green grapes because they're a bit sour
Granny Smith apples because they're extra tart
For Partner(2) fruit - Red grapes, cosmic crisp apples and Oregon blackberries, they're all exceptionally naturally sweet and the apples are especially soft.
For carbs
Partner 1: would be butter crackers, unhealthy but delicious tasting and the next thing you know you've eaten the whole sleeve and it leaves you feeling like garbage
Singing Partner: Whole wheat crackers, healthier, easier to ration and not many people like them
Partner 2: Crusty bread, while ultimately in a similar vein to partner 1 they're more filling allowing you to ration them and not just fill up on carbs causing you to miss out.
For Meat:
Partner 1 - Possibly sweet summer sausage, its obviously processed and a bit weird texture wise and very sweet.
Singing Partner - Probably Sospressta because of the black pepper in it and not everyone likes getting black pepper stuck in their mouth and it can be abrasive because of it and Maybe Prosciutto because it's an uncooked nor is it smoked dry cured meat and especially salty so you can't have it beyond a slice or two for your health
Partner 2- Prosciutto and Genoa Salami because Prosciutto is also pretty well-loved and decently mild in flavour same for the Genoa but it's sweeter almost, I'm not sure how to describe the taste
Chocolate:
Partner1: White chocolate because it's not even chocolate
Singing Partner: Dark chocolate because it's bitter and has very little sugar, probably 70 percent cocoa
Partner2: Dark chocolate but probably closer to 40-50 percent because it's still a good chunk cocoa and while not naturally sweet would still fit the theme of the board
