Adding Various Bits to Meals,do you do it ?

[in a mo]

My best mate likes to cook , what's more he likes to mess with food that is perfectly OK and enjoyed by millions of people every day,
Do you have a meal that you just have to add something and what is it and what do you add.Do other's find this disgusting.

[mccfluffy]

Im always messing with food, thats the fun of cooking
Why would anyone find that disgusting?

[boxtops]

Give us some examples, I've no idea what you mean. Why would changing a recipe be disgusting?

[ummmm]

I put sugar in my tinned tomatoes and gravy?

Not served together!!

Why not as long as it adds value to the dish.

recent ones:

choc fondant with chillis - with fresh vanilla ice cream

choc ice cream with freshly cracked black pepper - and this works - esp with hazelnut meringues.

freshly made macaroni cheese with bacon. leeks and cherry toms - chipotle and chilli added (yum)

They sound right up my street, DT :-)

A small square of chocolate (must be dark chocolate) melted into a chilli-con-carne just before service makes the most amazing difference to the taste of the overall dish.

Strawberries - believe it or not - taste fab when sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. Odd - but true!
