Yes, there IS such a thing as being too creative with the cooking. And
definitely such a thing as failing to acknowledge that an idea didn't
work. =o\ But trial and error is how we find out what we like.
SOMEBODY had to eat the first snail, first oyster, first caviar, etc
etc etc. I'm not a fan of "Let's throw in the kitchen sink and see how
this tastes" kind of cooking, though. Test first, taste, if it's
awful, scrap it, but don't serve it! Some tastes truly DO not work
together.
