Are there things in a common or traditional dish you love more than the sum of the parts?

The one that comes to mind for me is I could t do without the German Chocolate Cake. I just want to sit down with the saucepan of the still-warm coconut pecan frosting and eat the whole thing. Well, maybe not the WHOLE thing...

Custard. When I make a custard sauce to go in something else, it's all I can do not to sit down with

the bowl and a spoon and eat it all, then lick out the bowl.

Hollandaise, forget the Eggs Benedict, just give me the hollandaise!

Agree on that one too. Even when the bread pudding is great I'd rather have the sauce plain.

Cookie dough - almost always... forget baking it! And korma sauce - just give me som naan to go with
