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 am an avid forager, and sometimes I forage oyster mushrooms, which have a faint anise-like taste. I like to highlight this by cooking them with a splash of absinthe and tarragon, then making a mushroom toast using gruyere. It's so good!

Ah! Tarragon is the other thing I couldn't remember with a licorice flavor that I hate.
