Not sure why, but even when I was a little kid I was crazy about them. All of them, even the strong and bitter ones and the love affair continues.

Another wacky dish that's more of a technique than a recipe. Salt and chocolate always perform really well together because salt heightens chocolate's flavor. The olive oil is the icing on the cake. It freezes at first but then blends into the ice cream making a lovely, oily syrup that's incredibly addictive. This is so California man. Another wacky dish that's more of a technique than a recipe.
