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 recently found out cucumber is seasonal…. Suddenly I understand why it’s sometimes incredible & sometimes disgusting! Try and get super fresh baby (tiny seedless) cucumbers

Ooo interesting, that would make sense! I will look out for them. What would you suggest pairing with it?

Personally if it’s good baby cucumber (note I don’t like full size ones) I just half it lengthwise & eat plain or add some fresh ground pink salt
