Do you "experiment" or try unusual recipes? Last weekend, my sister gave me lots of green mangoes. I peeled one of them but I cannot take its so acidic taste! I was thinking of peeling all of it then put salt and water to "ferment" it. I changed the plan when I ran out of condiment for my fish stew; I needed something sour. So I boiled the sliced green mango, and so the dish turned out nice and the best thing, it was organic, no chemical condiment added to the fish stew.

Good that the result is quite alright, sometimes we have to do an experiment especially in cooking, there are times we are out of ingredients so we have an alternative way of changing some ingredients.

@acelawrites Using natural ingredients are free from preservatives, healthy wise.

Yes, @ida123, it tasted nice and sour too. Instead of using commercial condiment, it is nice to use natural ingredients.

Fermented green mangoes is a favorite of mine. Ain't salt enough to ferment it? Anyway, I do experiment with dishes. I usually substitute healthier and more affordable options over the original ingredients of recipes.

I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen very much! Especially when I have recipes that I know very well and I just want to change them up! It's fun and it often works out very well! :)

Yes, it's fun and our price would be when our family or friends like the way we cooked the food.
