1. Yeast, Flour, Water.

2. Barley, Water, Yeast.

Props to Thomas for dreaming up this thread. Props to Stuart for starting it.

Bread and beer--what, no wine???

Grapes, yeast, and SO2!

Thanks Thomas. I was trying to think of the 3rd thing in wine but was already to drunk to do so.

Dungeness crab, drawn butter, Savennières.

Love to see the split between the Northern dairy responses and the Mediterranean olive oil responses.

Personally, the most sacred of the trinities is

Tomatoes, cheese, and bread.

red, white, and rose

But, I also think along those lines, slightly modified to

White, red, sweet

as the progression of wines I wish I could have with each meal..

I was folllowing up on the "red, white, and blue" idea. Culinary wise, we are in total agreement, so long as champagne is included as the first "white" wine. (It could be a rose.)

Pizza, beer, and mussels in hot sauce ...

By the way, it's always three because if you added one more component it would be four-nication ... add two more and it would be pentagonistic ... add three more and, well, let's not go there.

Oh you had to go and ruin it with that stinky white wine.

Say, crab season open down your way yet? Bellingham opened two weeks earlier than expected, so we're all sitting here with our fingers crossed that Birch Bay opens early, too. [/img]

In professional cookery there's only one holy trinity - blood, sweat and tears.

Doesn't that usually go into 'Borracho Beans'?

Speaking of which, "beans, bacon, and jalapenos".

At the moment its Ranier, Lapin and Bing.

And yes, it is possible to eat too many cherries...

Pizza, Wings, Draft Beer.

Here's a whole meal of "threes:"

Cucumber, cream cheese, smoked fish.

Arugula, lemon zest, olive oil.

Pizza dough, wild mushrooms, fontina.

Vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate sauce, toasted pecans.

It's got a Dangerfield sort of feel to it, but it's probably older than that. Henny Youngman? (appropriate pun, too)

I know that album well and this surely predated it- just about all the material on it was old stuff, done superbly by some terrific players.

"Oy, vass I toisty!

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.

That's very nice of you, but you haven't heard me singing in the wilderness yet. Trust me, it's worse than cats mating.

Man, I have the butter and the Savennières. now if only I could afford the crab.

July 4 here. A sweet Vietnamese family we used to crab with still brings us crab. They think they 'owe' us something for taking care of their travel medicine needs when they go back to Vietnam. It pleases them to bring us crab and we certainly do not protest.

The crab is even more sweet when it is free.

Great story Randy. It pleases them, and I can't even imagine how much it pleases you.

Bourbon, Bible, Bullets.

I am with Mike, bread, OO and Wine

Tomato, basil and balsamic sounds good but have to add a good OO to round out the flavors. That makes it a foursome not a threesome, not nearly as fun.

Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre.
