I massively agree on hot honey on pizza. I don't mind sweet and spicy as a concept, but honey has a very distinctive flavour which is really out of place on pizza in my opinion.
Foie gras. I thought I'd absolutely love it but it has the texture of that weird foam you only very occasionally find at the point the waves are breaking on a beach.
