I was, till you insisted (as that's what you do rather than discuss) that it's "adding flavours together to produce a flavour that would not otherwise be apparent." I was saying that there is often masking of flavours (as per curryfing bad meat) to hide (not compliment / enhance) the 'flavour'. So, unless you could COMPLETELY MASK the taste of sprouts when I tasted them then no flavour complementing or mixing would distract the putrid taste of the sprout. Hence, the only solution to me (and many others) who can't stand the taste of sprouts is to make them taste of something else (then what would be the point to eating them). 'Cooking' (as in the processing of raw food to be more palatable / digestible to humans) generally doesn't change the taste of something that much. Masking something by mixing / overwhelming it with something else (by bulk or strength) isn't the same thing. Cheers, T i m
