We've gotten so adventurous with recipes.

That is great, but some things need not be consumed.

Not every ingredient is meant to be mixed!

At least that is the opinion of certain stomachs.

Some chefs need to calm down a bit.

Except for pineapple on pizza.

That is genius!


Redditor Simple_Anywhere_8337 wanted to discuss recipe items that may not be the most popular, so they asked:

"What's an ingredient you hate but most people like?"

There are so many unnecessary ingredients.

I don't know where to start, but Reddit sure did.

It's Crap

Stevia Sweetner GIF by SPLENDAGiphy

"I hate when people add stevia to desserts."

gotrekfelix

"For me, Stevia gives a weird mint-like crappy flavor to things. Other people look at me like I’m crazy when I try to explain it, so it might just be me."

WonderfulEmergency77

Maybe Merlot?

"Artificial rose flavor."

MickeyPineapple

"I LOVE rose flavor. I don't know anyone else that does though lol."

YourDBDGF

"Soap, it tastes like soap."

Feels Weird

"Fennel seeds. It's the one food aversion i haven't been able to conquer."

Flying_sky_bear

"I love fennel but I hate tasting the seeds in in meat."

LadyofTheGreyPath

"My wife and I recently discovered meatballs as a topping for pizza that is a perfect replacement for Italian sausage. No fennel, all the good fatty meaty goodness."

I'll Pass

"I’m gonna hit you with a real one. I don’t like Macarons. Their taste and texture is super underwhelming compared to how they look. Visually they look amazing, but I take one bite and just wish I made brownies."

CaptainChats

"They’re just… disappointing. They look so unique and delicate."

"And you hear all the time about how difficult they are to make. And they’re so expensive because of that. And then you finally taste one and it’s just a decent cookie. Nutty and sweet. Light and crispy outside. Chewy inside. What really changes the flavor is whatever cream or jam you put inside."

My Stomach

"Canned spinach shouldn't exist. Good fresh, however."

SmartyRiddlebop

"It could be worse. I'm guessing you've never seen the canned cheeseburger they have in Germany."

DocBullseye

Yeah. Popeye was crazy. Fresh spinach only.

Flaked Out

"Coconut flakes. they make me cringe, it’s a texture thing. My dad always got german cake for his birthday’s and every year I would try it and I just… shivers can’t do it."

Puke

"Papaya."

asgphotography

"Smells and tastes like feet to me and I don't understand why. I'm even born and live in a region of the world where these things are grown. Love the Thai papaya salads though."

DatAdra

"Tastes like puke to me. Gag."

pointychallenge

Never Again

"Walnuts."

Shocked_and_Outraged

" Funny story..."

"When I was little I hated brownies because there was always walnuts in them. I would try to eat around the walnuts and just get the good chocolatey bits. I wished there was a brownie without nuts. It blew my mind when I learned that brownies without walnuts were the standard. I never let my mom bake brownies with walnuts again, and when I make them I never put walnuts in."

pink_wraith

Full Hate

"Truffle oil."

Suspicious_Lake_7732

"I feel like I can taste it with my whole skull and I hate it."

biblosaurus

"Most truffle oil is artificial and is actually a petroleum byproduct."

"The truffle industry is a big scam. Not just truffle oil, everything"

EternalNY1

Ruins

"Celery."

No_Ad3588

"It's like someone took some dish water, turned it into a solid green stick, and added hair to it. Easily ruins every meal it's in."

slicedbread1991

"Thank you!! Everybody looks at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don't like celery."

skeetpea

Now see... I like celery.

To each their own.
