Have you ever had one of those moments in the kitchen where you try something new or do something out of the ordinary and think, "This is either going to be a genius idea or an absolute disaster?"
Earlier tonight I was craving potato salad and decided it would be an excellent idea to use all of my leftover homemade tzatziki sauce with a bit of mayo for the base of some potato salad. I was very afraid before I took my first bite, but it turned out ridiculously declicious. I don't know why I decided to combine the two, but I'm glad I did.
These kind of culinary innovations can also go very, very badly; like when I tried mixing pasta with leftover nacho cheese. Or like the time I tried to use bologna as a pizza topping. Or that one time I decided to use breakfast sausage- as opposed to Italian sausage- in a meat sauce for lasagna. Need I go on?
So what about you, fellow Serious Eaters? Ever come up with something in your kitchen that seemed kind of weird, but ended up totally delicious ... or gross?
