I Am the Non-Intuitive Chef
Today I made chili and corn bread for dinner. It was not the expensive kind of chili, so I decided to jazz it up a little with some garlic powder, some crushed red pepper, and the rest of a bag of frozen mixed vegetables.
The mixed vegetables did not go over well with the fellow who lives in my house (who is this guy? he's been here for years...). We had a little discussion about not putting lima beans and carrots in the chili. I shan't anymore.
It made me think of a funny idea for a sketch, though: The Non-Intuitive Chef. It would be a cook who has no intuitive sense for what foods go together -- ground beef in vanilla pudding, barbecue chicken in cupcakes, Nutella in tacos. Lots of meat desserts.
I'm trying to think of several savory foods that would not go together, but I can't. Everything goes great together. This is why I put carrots and lima beans in the chili: they just seemed to go together.
