Why do they never view that as a challenge? "I've been asked to do a pasta salad, so instead of applying my creativity to bust preconceptions of what pasta salad is, I'm going to make a boring one and whine about it!"
At least the molecular gastronomer would have made it into a foam or a gelee, or deconstructed it or something. Might have gotten whacked down for it, but would at least have gotten points for trying. You usually don't get the boot for taking risks.
