think it's something to do with the tomatoes, but I'm not quite sure.

It is. Tomatoes are a right fucker to pair with. Nothing really works properly with them.

Oh...blue cheese. The classis is Port wine obviously but try with a strong xmas ale, one with added spices in it, something like Young's Christmas Pudding, a revelation!

I can't tell you the physiological stuff. Wyatt or Toro are your men on that, particularly Toro as he's been reading This and Brillat-Savarin.

Nah, I know a very small bit about the physiology, but next to nothing about applying it in practice.

And claiming to understand the principles because of reading Brillat-Savarin would be like claiming to be a physicist because you'd read Newton...
