Default Have you ever invented a new dish?

Just this saturday. chatting with my GF, we invented erbazzone
cannellini. They are still to be made and that will happen tomorrow when
I'll buy spinach, pancetta and pre-made cannellini shells. Cannellini is
the name for a pastry item one can find all over Italy: just a cilindric
shell of puff-pastry, usually brusehd with beaten eggs, filled with
custard, usually creme patissiere but also cocao based custards fit well.
So, we re-thougth of it as a savoury dish with a filling of erbazzone,
which a local "torta salata" based on a spinach, eggs, breadcrumbs,
grated reggiano and pancetta filling between two layers of a kind of
pastry, something between puff-pastry and brisee.
We'll be trying this savoury cannellini version ASAP!
