Oh, really. And who decides what ideas are stupid? You?

Not at all, I'm one of many in this thread pointing out the silliness of the OP. In fact, it's not even that he added peanut butter to his roux, it's that he has no idea why one might do this, and he can't tell us if it made his gumbo better.

If I enjoyed this kind of ridiculous posturing, I would stay in the OT.

Ironic, because posts like the OP are turning this board into the OT.

I am certainly not a chef nor an expert in haute cuisine, but I enjoy this board to learn from others who have more experience than I.

RIght, me too. What did you learn from the OP?

yet we don't feel the need to call someone else stupid for having a different opinion, or trying something, even if it doesn't work.

I'm not mocking someone for trying something new, that's how progress is made. I'm mocking someone for doing something for no apparent reason, with no apparent effect, and coming on here and "sharing" it, like it's somehow going to be useful to the rest of us. I like this board too, I post here far more than any other board. We can have different opinions and different tastes, that's great and that's healthy, but valid criticism helps to filter out the noise and help maintain this as a place to share good info about food and drinks. Can't you see I'm being an a-hole so you don't have to?
