Have you ever had any happy and delicious cooking accidents?

I had one today. I was making Mr. OH some smoked salmon bagels. I generally toast the bagel, slather on cream cheese, then add red onion, capers, and the smoked salmon on top. We like all the ingredients warm, so I put it back into the toaster oven for a few minutes. A couple of capers rolled off the bagel onto the baking tray while reheating it. I popped a caper in my mouth and was delighted to find a light crisp texture with a pop of caper flavor. I don't know what I might do with them but I really liked them and could see them accenting something I cook in the future.

What about you? Have you ever done something delicious by accident?

Yeah, but I can never remember how to recreate them, or even what they were!

Sounds great!
Have you ever tried deep-fried capers? No, I´m not joking - just drop the capers in hot oil, then fish them out when they stop sizzling (usually about 10 seconds). Unbelievable!

I've read about them. Next time I fry something I'll give it a go.

Frying or deep frying capers has been around for eons, glad you found out how good they are. Cheers

Mistakes are what propel learning and growth be default. Happens all the time in a professional kitchen.

Yes, & it WAS discovered by accident. Mixed chapotle sauce some honey with some sauce by Sylvia, some Worcestershire sauce, seasonings & butter. Put it on some chicken wings with a touch of hot sause, baked it & it came out tasting like BBQ'd chicken, thick, sweet & luscious!! I called it Big Daddy's Honey Baked Buffalo Wings!! I was trying to make it not so spicy or hot!

This was not the recipe that I was to follow, at all, I just went with it ...

Quadruple Chocolate Cake
I neglected to keep notes as to what I was doing and have never been able to replicate this wonderful cake... and btw, I really do not care for chocolate, but this was really good!

Mushrooms on toast I always cooked in butter with cream at the end. Kinda rawish but one time someone rang me and I got distraught for 20 mins.
Went back.snd reheated and found it had relaxed the shrooms and tasted better. I always double cook now.

It's weird what happened to my microwave food. Sometimes I make one dish just with water, corn starch, fat, powdered milk and spices. Normally it turns out like a dry pudding/firm polenta, when the weird start happens, it starts to get really hot in the middle of the pudding to the point were it starts to develop smoke. One time I produced a really crunchy, good tasting cookie.
