why have i not noticed this post before? its way better than that flavour thesaurus thing i posted


I only posted it because I was inspired by your flavour thesaurus!! which is a BRILLIANT idea!!
 
it is, but its not quite as good as it could be for our needs and its a bit of a headache to navigate (especially in digital format) its constantly referring you to other sections, like say in cinnamon itll say "cinnamon and apple - see apple and cinnamon" with no page numbers or anything.

edit

also ive not quite got it right yet but black cherry (FA) and pomegranate (DKS) seem to work quite well too

They neglected to say that carrots are great with coriander, just in case anyone here is a mad lunatic is search of the perfect carrot coriander juice, great resource though!
 
Thank you for this, much appreciated.. this should get me started heading in the right direction :)
 
Amazing just brilliant!!! Grape mixes well with vanilla also (I call it Grape Vape) Its smooth and a great flavor for hot days
