Salt in tea? Surprising food pairings to explore!

Is it time to use salt instead of sugar for tea? Award-winning drinks expert, author and presenter Neil Ridley spoke to 5 Live Drive鈥檚 Leila Nathoo about pairing drinks with crisps that create both classic and unexpected combinations.

Talking about the time he combined a salt and shake with a cup of tea: 鈥淚 think maybe there was something psychosomatic whether I was willing this to work, but I enjoyed my cup of tea significantly more.鈥

He went on to say: 鈥淭hen of course it led into coffee and I thought, where would you have coffee? Breakfast time. Hang on a second. Maybe there鈥檚 a breakfast pairing here. And I got some Torres fried egg crisps and I thought, ok there鈥檚 something in this. And then you throw in a bacon Frazzle and all of a sudden you鈥檝e got a deconstructed cooked breakfast."
