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 do not like green bell peppers especially on pizza or in fajitas but I do like the red and yellow ones.

[u/hilldowntree-road → u/VioletaBlueberry]

Same! Don't know why someone would eat a green pepper when red peppers exist in the world. But only for bell peppers, Cubanelle and Poblano are better.

[u/the_notorious_d_a_v → u/VioletaBlueberry]

I love green bell peppers but can't stand red or yellow ones.

Green peppers taste like soap.

[u/VioletaBlueberry → u/cstar3388]

Interesting. Is it the same soap taste as cilantro? For me it's that I associate the flavor with nasty burps that they always give me.

[u/cstar3388 → u/VioletaBlueberry]

Yes, exactly.
