Cheese and pickle sandwich × Strong tea with milk
Tannin cuts through cheddar fat, and the tea's malty edge matches the sweet vinegar in the pickle instead of clashing with it.

88
Bacon sandwich with brown sauce × Strong milky tea
Tannin and milk fat land on top of bacon salt; the sauce's tamarind sweetness is exactly what tea is built to carry.
75
Ham and cheese sandwich × Chocolate milk
Salt against sweet, cold against soft. The cocoa bitterness stops the sandwich from tasting plain and the milk fat smooths the cured salt.
