you want to know HOW they created that masterpiece, and share it because no one should be deprived of such a work of culinary art  (unquote)


Absolutely agree.  There has to be a special place in Hell for anyone who creates a great taste and takes it to the grave.

Oh hell, if there was a food that you really liked, go experiment and duplicate it. Worrying about hell over a recipe is pretty darn lame. It's just food. Start to recreate it. They didn't find it all at once either. It's a process of experimentation.

Easier said than done.  Besides, some of us don't cook.  At least well.

No one is born knowing how to cook. It's an acquired skill. Only your ambition or lack of it will determine what you are going to learn. It's your life, fill it with something.

There I was with a totally unfulfilled life, yearning for the something that would complete me, when out of the blue, in a thread seeking Best Thing You Ever Tasted, comes the admonition to fill my life "with something."

Yes, yes, I must, I WILL learn to cook the favorite taste of the motivator.  I will learn to cook (I think I can I think I can):  BACON!

Maverick's got it exactly right.

If I go to a restaurant and find something I like, I try and reproduce it at home.  Takes a few times, got to check a bunch of recipes online, but eventually you can duplicate almost anything.  Okay, pastries/desserts are hard to do b/c of all the special equipment, but most main courses can be done.  And in the end, after trying 5-10 recipes, you'll have something that's your 'own'.  Wife sometimes gets sick of it, but when you get it right...it's worth it.

Lasagna.

Everything else .. even Pizza .. is just not as good as a nice spicy Lasagna..
..enough paprika and oregeno .. perhaps some Chorizo sausage to perk it up a bit, a dot or two of Tobasco per bite ..

I've gotta go with Grayeagle on this one.

Lasagna is awesome stuff.

I once had a frozen mango pulp slushy on a 40C day in Bowen, North Queensland and thought I had died and gone to heaven, $2 got you about a liter or so of pure frozen blended up mango pulp.
Was just two kids on the side of the highway out the front of their family farm with a generator, box freezer, blender, a ute load of mangoes, hand painted cardboard sign and great idea.

Bacon-wrapped baked pheasant (maybe it was the bacon what dood it...).
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Its ok, I often try to give people morning for services and products, so I guess we balance.
