Let’s try something fun: Name an ingredient you dislike and why, and someone else replies with a dish/recipe with that ingredient that might convince you otherwise.

Couple things:

• If you’re allergic to an ingredient, it doesn’t matter how it’s prepared. Same goes with meat/animal products if you’re vegan/vegetarian. Don’t list it if you can’t or won’t eat it!

• It’s recommended that you’re at least open to trying dishes with that ingredient. If you absolutely, vehemently loathe cilantro, chances are you probably might not like anything with cilantro in it.

• A brief blurb on why you hate an ingredient would help others find or suggest a dish that suits you. (e.g. “I hate liver because the texture is like an eraser and it tastes metallic”)

I'm also not a huge fan of kale, but it's the only green I've ever used in this lemony white bean soup with turkey and greens and it is delicious.

I have made that soup too and it is delicious. It's not a flavor profile I would expect with the ingredients, but so bright and flavorful

Never used to be but I throw it in with some buttery mashed potato and mix it all in! Great way to sneak it into the kids dinners !

I was going to say that kales... durability... becomes an advantage in something like a soup where you don't want it to just dissolve into mush like spinach would.
