Occasionally, food shows will pair foods together in a recipe that I might not think of on my own. Nevertheless, the combinations sound and look good, so they encourage me to experiment with those ingredients to create a new dish that expands my palate. Other times, the combination might be something I would never make, but if I see it on a restaur...
