I have done this -- mostly baked goods, since my workplace doesn't 
tend to have potlucks.  Recently, I brought in a nut tart redacted from de 
Nola.  It didn't disappear as quickly as other things I've made, perhaps 
because it wasn't very sweet, but I did have two people tell me that they 
liked it *because* it wasn't sweet as nut tarts/pies often are.  Useful 
information.  I've also taken munchies to events and handed them out to 
people, asking in return for their honest comments on things like texture 
and spicing.  And I am blessed with a husband who will try anything 
once, and doesn't complain if dinner is a less-than-successful 
experiment.
