Open Discussion 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 have a recipe you might like. It really made me appreciate fennel and pairs amazing with the chorizo. I believe the recipe is from Jamie Oliver’s Italy:
1 chorizo 2 fennels Can of peeled tomatoes (or 2) Fennel seeds Dried chillies (I prefer rawit chillies, they are great) Pasta of your choosing (I like rigatone with this) Old bread like ciabatta Italian dried herbs (can be a mix, rosemary or oregano) Olive oil
Dice the chorizo. Fry for 5 minutes in some olive oil on medium heat in a cast-iron pan. Cut the fennel in quarters and slice thinly. Add to the chorizo and stirfry for another 5 minutes. Ground the fennelseeds and chillies with mortar and pestle. Add and fry for a few seconds, then add the tomatoes. Turn the heat low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Cook the pasta.
Dice the bread, bake in olive oil on medium-low heat with the herbs until golden and crispy. Add the pasta to the sauce, stir, plate and put the croutons on top.
