Know the comfort level of those you are cooking for and try to stay within those limits. Pushing limits maybe fine for anything else, but this is not the best time for that.
By the same token, food practical jokes should be avoided at all costs. This doubly applies if it induces specific bodily functions. Yeah; this means no Ex-Lax brownies. You may ruin friendships and be the subject of lawsuits if it goes any kind of wrong.
Don't cook something to honor someone's heritage unless specifically asked to do so. The risk of offending someone is just too great, especially if there are nuances of which you are unaware.
Don't call something "blackened" because you just burned it and you're trying to be funny. You are only allowed so many bad jokes a day and this pushes it.
If you are trying something outside the normal ranges, ask first. Food is not something you can really play with beyond certain parameters and it helps if you have permission to do so.
