"This was fabulous. Sweet, salty, savory, crunchy, chewy, juicy, and spicy all in one bite. Was this sort of like what peasants would eat when they dreamt of Beef Wellington? Who cares. And, if it was, color me a peasant." – ipsedixit on the doughnut burger
"[O]ne flavor that has always gone over well when I've done it is cranberry. You use whole cranberries (spiced as you wish) with some sugar cooked down so they pop and it is quite thick. And then put that (once it cools) into the bottom of the ramekin. Pour the custard over top and proceed as you would." – LNG212 on crème brûlée
"Mash potatoes with heavy cream, sour cream and cheese, pipe the mixture into small bite size portions, sprinkle with grated cheese (Parmesan, etc.) and put on pre-heated cast iron skillet under the broiler to crisp up the bottoms and brown the tops. Adding some bacon bits to the mix makes them even more special." – todao on potato appetizers
