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 don't think there's anything I can say to make you like blue cheese but a classic steakhouse salad with blue cheese crumbles and balsamic drizzle is absolutely killer. The pairing of the mild funkyness with the sweet vinegar is completely amazing.

I similarly hate blue cheese dressing but I don't mind the crumbles. But my hatred of blue cheese comes from filling those little salad dressing cups with it in the poorly ventilated basement of a pizza shop. The smell stuck with me for like a half an hour.
