You know, Panache may have some thing here. We have a chicken recipe that is pretty much my favorite right now. It's a Kosher recipe and is basically chicken, potatos and whole cloves of garlic. A LOT of them.

Once this is done the garlic is basically mush and you use it instead of butter on the bread. (Or just eat them outright.) Very savory but not so garlicky. I've had some VERY good sweet savory combinations. You never know.

That sounds a bit like 40 clove garlic chicken (a favorite).

....And an example of what went wrong, but became famous...
Tarte Tatin

And one of my absolute favorite desserts of all time.

Oh this is an old thread, but the first thing that came to my mind was to add some chipotle or pasilla negro (chiles) and pull out the vanilla bean. Go for it. I love chocolate chile truffles and I have a great ice cream recipe. The story behind that one is that I made it for my father in law, a chile head, who choked on it, and then died a few days later. We chuckle and say it's the ice cream that killed Frank (course we only say this among us kids).

A few years back I was in Estonia and ate dinner at a Russian restaurant called "Troika" on Town Hall Square in the old town of Tallinn. Everything was wonderful, and for dessert, they recommended "caramelized garlic ice cream". I thought, "Hey, why not? It'll be different, that's for sure" so I ordered some.

It turns out that caramelized garlic ice cream tastes exactly as bad as you'd think it would. If you're ever in Tallinn, go eat at Troika. But don't get the garlic ice cream.

Garlic and Chocolate? NOT a good combination. Although last night we had Chicken Alfredo with lots of garlic over Farfalla!

I don't know. I have had dishes that featured both chocolate and garlic. They were Mexican inspired, based on the classic mole' sauce. I think the trick is to have many other ingredients though.
