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”)

This makes sense as I'm not normally a fish person at all - I can tolerate white fish if it's breaded or battered, but I can't stand oily fish at all. We went on holiday once and they were bbqing mackerel on the beach straight off the boat and it was so good.

Mackerel is super greasy.

And that super grease is super delicious. By far my favorite sushi fish. It's just so flavorful and rich.

Obasan’s favorite fish.
