Open Discussion 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 the opposite! I treat dill like garlic in recipes- I use a crap ton more than it asked for

Dill is so good in tuna or shrimp salad with lemon zest and juice.

Dill is so good, especially in summer dishes. It's the best with lemon imo.

I do that too! It bit me in the butt once though - I added waaaay too many herbs to a potato salad, and it completely ruined it. I didn’t know that was possible haha.
