I am curious, what flavors and ingredients dont seem to work together for you in the same dish... i understand most of us arent too fond of trout ice cream, but in general, what recipes have you seen or dishes you have tasted that didnt seem to work for you...
i also welcome any input on refuting anyone's theories... what i mean to say, if someone says "cream with chili peppers", i would like to see where other people have used these successfully...
for me, these two i have seen recently and they just dont cut it:
1) tomato sauce (marinara/pomodoro) with an added squeeze of lemon juice to be served with spaghetti (Giada De Laurentiis - Everyday Italian)... yes there were other ingredients in the sauce, but i just couldnt process tomato and lemon together
2) Sea Bass with wild mushrooms in white wine sauce.... the strong earthiness of the mushrooms overpowered the delicate taste of the fish... just didnt work, who knows, maybe some white button mushrooms may have since their taste is quite bland in comparison....
