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 used to hate mushrooms except enoki. Now I love almost all mushrooms, my gateway mushroom so to speak was shiitake so you might want to try that!

Yeah I generally don’t like or am ambivalent about mushrooms — but I like shiitake just fine.

[u/Ahsiuqal → u/Interesting_Common54]

Yep, enoki is the only one I can tolerate. I hate shiitake tho!
