Since I know Poldaran is into cooking a bit, I thought at least he'd take interest.
I'm not much of a foodie, and I certainly don't get fancy in my cooking, but when I do make things for myself I occasionally try to mix it up a bit. I'm not even always looking for something that tastes good, but simply tastes interesting.
A few nights ago I made a pretty standard vegetable potluck soup for myself. It's just tomato base or V8 juice (low-sodium), carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and whatever other vegetables I need to use up (in this case, beets), with some seasonings like garlic. This time though, I had a container of coconut milk that I wasn't sure how I was going to finish off. So into the soup it went. Usually my soup tastes tomato-ey and spicey, but the coconut gave it a little something sweet that was easy to distinguish and didn't just muddy into the rest of the flavors. It was ok, and I definitely hadn't tasted something like it before.
Funny typo: earlier I spelled coconut as cococunt.
So any weird combos work out well for any of you?
