    It’s better to fail while experimenting like this than to keep rigid to the recipe and produce stale results

    Add some random shit to the recipe and see what happens, who knows maybe you will invent next sliced bread

    If it fails there’s nothing that a strong drink wouldn’t deal with

    Like mayo with strawberries turns out it is as bad as it sounds but you would never know for sure till you tried. Are you just gonna obediently take somebody’s word for it?

      Yeah, but if you do crazy replacements on recipies, at least don’t complain to the recepies author, and don’t downrate the recipe because of your own ineptitude.

      On the other hand, if you find a substitute that actually works, post it as an alternative.

        Why not? Can’t they take a bit of criticism? You post something on the web you must be ready for spiciness.

      Experimenting with the intent to discover how different flavors interact is an excellent thing to do.

      However, if you are following a recipe and substitute something in it for something you don’t actually know 100% works as a substitute and then blame the person who published the recipe for it not working out so well, you are an asshole.

        Who else am I gonna blame? I have such a rule I keep to that it is never my fault.

        Unless you successfully prove it. Why would I weaken my position right at the start? Maybe they will make another recipe specifically for you. Nothing to lose
