It’s better to fail while experimenting like this than to keep rigid to the recipe and produce stale results
Add some random shit to the recipe and see what happens, who knows maybe you will invent next sliced bread
If it fails there’s nothing that a strong drink wouldn’t deal with
Like mayo with strawberries turns out it is as bad as it sounds but you would never know for sure till you tried. Are you just gonna obediently take somebody’s word for it?
Yeah, but if you do crazy replacements on recipies, at least don’t complain to the recepies author, and don’t downrate the recipe because of your own ineptitude.
On the other hand, if you find a substitute that actually works, post it as an alternative.
In the comments, sure. I want to hear about substitutions that work, variations that are interesting, and where common substitutions or adjustments fail. (Does adapting this recipe for high altitude work?) An experimental substitution or modification that didn’t work? I’ll likely find that useless, but whatever.
In the rating, it’s just noise. The number should be a guide to answering the question “if I make this item as written, will it be good?” A poor rating based on not following the directions is misleading, same as a good rating based on making changes to a bad recipe.
Experimenting with the intent to discover how different flavors interact is an excellent thing to do.
However, if you are following a recipe and substitute something in it for something you don’t actually know 100% works as a substitute and then blame the person who published the recipe for it not working out so well, you are an asshole.
Who else am I gonna blame? I have such a rule I keep to that it is never my fault.
Unless you successfully prove it. Why would I weaken my position right at the start? Maybe they will make another recipe specifically for you. Nothing to lose

Why not? Can’t they take a bit of criticism? You post something on the web you must be ready for spiciness.

The author’s feelings do not factor in.
