Do avocado and sriracha go together?

Why they work
They overlap on 11 flavor molecules: 48% of sriracha's 23. Among the shared key aromas are trans-2-hexenal (green, leafy) and nonanal (fat, citrus). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
