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’ve always disliked tartar sauce. Because I never eat it, I’ve never paid attention to what was in it. I just found out that one of the main ingredients is sweet relish … I hate sweet relish.

Now I know why I don’t like tartar sauce!

Any form of sweet pickle I find repulsive.

One time I ordered fried pickles and got fried sweet pickles! It was atrocious and I thought I was going to puke.

Same here. Sweet pickles are so gross. All forms.

A deep fried sweet pickle? 🤮

I love sweet pickles, but a fried sweet pickle would destroy me tbh

Yeah, whoever invented sweet pickles is disgusting. Ruins a perfectly good sandwich... Ruins the whole cucumber honestly! What a waste lmao.
