That's a bit like saying "unless you've tried heroin, you won't know how good it is".
I don't need to try it. I can taste the liquid smoke, BBQ sauce and bacon in the recipe. But I can't taste the fresh tuna. So you might as well substitute the fresh tuna with dog food. The taste would be the same. Save time and money.
Good food is a passion of mine. I reckon life is too short to eat rubbish. And while cooking is an art (or craft) and therefore subjective, it is also a science—and as such there are some basic rules.
One of those rules would be that you don't smother the taste of fresh tuna with cheap condiments and bacon. Well of course you may, if this makes you happy. But it's still wrong on some very basic culinary level.
I've seen Chinese blokes in Shanghai order a $1000.- ± bottle of ancient Armangac and then cut it half and half with 7-up. I've watched those same blokes smother their Beluga caviar with chili sauce. But that don't make it right.
