I envisaged this thread as a space where we could share whatever crazy ideas/ combinations that cross our mind and users could say whether they’re a good idea or not.
So, I’ll go first: recently, I thought you could take a chorizo ring, thread calamari rings along it like shower curtain hooks, and then bake it for a shared starter.
Has this already been done before? Would people go for it?
I keep trying to pull off duck kievs with cherry sauce as the filling and a pistachio crumb instead of breadcrumbs. Haven’t nailed it yet but I’m convinced it would be awesome.
I do like duck and cherry. Pistachio sounds interesting. What has been going wrong so far?
An inability to get the sauce to stay within a duck breast in a manner which lends itself to then being baked without it leaking everywhere…
I don’t know if this will ever work, but I want you to know that I am willing you to succeed
When I’ve attempted it before I’ve removed the skin and crisped it up independently to the rest of the breast.
Made a chili lasagne once: chili con carne between layers of pasta and bechamel, crumbled tortilla chips on top. It was 
This is the sort of fusion I was hoping for in this thread.
Did the béchamel and the chilli go together?
I find it hard to believe it was just alright. Haggis makes everything taste better. Yes, everything.
Yeah, pretty well - probably used slightly less bechamel than on a normal lasagne, but it was a nice combo.
Loads of grated cheese in with the tortilla crumb topping obv!
