well there are stranger things...like chocolate in savoury dishes...I think it's relatively common in mexico. At least I read a great novel called "Like Water for Chocolate" which is set in Mexico and it features some recipes like this. This book is an excellent read by the way - every chapter begins with a recipe and all the main characters' memories are entwined with each one.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
