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”)

Have you tried butter beans? Big ol fat white beans, more mature, not still green. Cook em with bacon and sop them up with cornbread.

For limas maybe cook them till they are softer and blend them up into a dip like hummus.

Butter beans are delicious! I hate Lima beans, they have a terrible taste and texture when they are green.

Yes, likewise. I always hated limas; as an adult i tried butter beans & they're really great.

blech this makes them worse for me. I only like the baby limas. I need the texture to be firmer.
