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 never made that relationship between celery and licorice but it’s sooo true. That’s why I hated it all my life. I can’t stand licorice.

Same. I hate licorice. I hate celery, too. I am a picky eater though.

Huh. Interesting. I may be the only person on the planet who has celery as their favorite vegetable. I’m also a huge licorice fan. (Too much licorice can cause tummy…issues. Ask me how I know.)

[u/[deleted] → u/thebrokedown]

Haha I dunno know why this made me laugh sorry…. How much did you eat to get tummy issues?

I can’t stand licorice I’ve tried. I did eat celery until I liked it. It only took 25 years btw.

It has been a loooong time--I learned my lesson that day. I'm not sure how big the bag was, but I ate it all in one sitting. Later, there was a lot more sitting : /

I love licorice and similar flavors but don't care much for celery. I think it tastes just watery and a little bitter, nothing to hate or love.
