What’s a common ingredient that completely ruins a dish for you, no matter how small the amount?

[u/Sensitive_Low_9280]

[u/logges]

Any replacement for sugar like saccharine, sucrose, estevia, etc. just give me the sugar.

Also hate when they use citric acid instead of lemon juice

[u/zulchep → u/logges]

Stevia and sucralose are the worst offenders. I’d rather drink whatever it is completely unsweetened.

If I see “no sugar added” or whatever, I expect it to be unsweetened, not laced with that foul-tasting garbage.

[u/peggeesoo → u/zulchep]

When the cafeteria where I worked stopped making a pitcher of unsweetened tea, I asked if there was a bottled version, they tried to tell me the “no sugar added” was my option. Had the hardest time explaining I didn’t want it to taste sweet, not that I couldn’t have sugar.

[u/Black_Cat_Just_That → u/zulchep]

I've learned to immediately check ingredients on anything that says "no added sugar", even if it's a product that would actually be perfectly acceptable without sugar (eg ice tea). Before I had learned to check, there were a few times I picked up a flavored water thinking it was just infused or something, but which was actually some sickly sweet disgusting waste of money.

[u/juliainfinland → u/Black_Cat_Just_That]

I've learned to check ingredients on anything, period. Apparently I can taste even trace amounts of aspartame, and it makes the entire thing completely undrinkable for me.

They don't even use it just to make drinks "sweet". There's a brand of tonic water that I like, tonic water is supposed to be a perfect combination of sweet(ish) and bitter, and what do they do? Create a "zero-calorie" version that has aspartame. smh

[u/josh6466 → u/logges]

stevia tastes ridiculously bitter to me.

[u/Fun-Rest-1969 → u/josh6466]

There was a PennState study as far back as 2013 that looked back at this. Apparently, it’s a genetic thing much like some people taste soap when eating cilantro, some of us taste false sugars as bitter. It was nice to realize I wasn’t just crazy.

Edit to share the link: https://academic.oup.com/chemse/article-abstract/38/5/379/360864?redirectedFrom=fulltext

[u/Three3Jane → u/Fun-Rest-1969]

I used to say that fake sweeteners taste "chemical" to me but derp, everything is essentially chemicals.

Now I say they just taste "artificial" because they are. Granted, tons of other artificial things in food but any and I mean ANY artificial sweetner and I'm out.

[u/2beagles → u/Three3Jane]

Cleaning chemicals. Disinfectant. Something that screams "not food". Clearly, me too. My husband is diabetic, and he can't tell the difference. Sometimes he asks me to taste his drinks to make sure they're diet. It's a sign of how much I love him that I do it. Gross.

[u/EmergencySausage → u/logges]

Holy shit, people are sick of me for going on about this! I have found my brethren

[u/scholly73 → u/EmergencySausage]

I too am a hater of all fake sugars. They are horrible and the aftertaste always hits me. I’m super sensitive to tastes/smells tho tbh

[u/Commercial_Bison_720 → u/logges]

Stevia ruins everything. I have no clue how people can guzzle down anything with stevia in it. Anytime I see the words “low sugar” I get all hopeful until I see the word stevia on the ingredient list. Blech.

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat → u/Commercial_Bison_720]

Recently tried Nexba drinks because someone said they were low sugar but tasty.

I had a few sips from one can then threw it out..plus the other three cans in the fourpack. And yes, it has stevia. I have no idea how anyone can stand that stuff. It;s actually the WORST low sugar stuff I have tasted.

[u/PumpikAnt58763 → u/Commercial_Bison_720]

Same. I don't want something that's not bitter fruit to taste like bitter fruit.

[u/michiganstrange → u/logges]

Sucralose, aspartame; idc how they market that shit, it tastes like garbage.

[u/DisobedientSwitch → u/logges]

Ever tried accidentally drinking out of something with dishwashing soap residue in it? That's how most artificial sweeteners taste to me.

[u/EllieZPage → u/logges]

Ugh yes, I'm actually allergic and will get a migraine immediately so I'm particularly irritated that it seems to be hiding everywhere now. I've even found it in stuff that's not marketed as sugar free and hasactual sugar in it.

[u/Curlytoes18]

Anise

[u/Melodic_Duck_6064 → u/Curlytoes18]

Came here for this..I flipping hate anise.

[u/The_Only_Squid → u/Curlytoes18]

Meanwhile for me i fiend over it HAHAHAHAHHA

[u/LordBuggington → u/The_Only_Squid]

Dude sprouts had anis toothpaste for awhile I should have bought more

[u/Collective-Keyhole → u/Curlytoes18]

Bingo!! Hate it so much

[u/virginsloot]

If a black olive was ever near the dish, I can tell

[u/horusluprecall → u/virginsloot]

May I please eat the entire portion of black olives that has been allocated by the universe to you? Trust me never leave me alone with a can of black olives I would eat the whole can in a sitting I would eat enough black olives in a sitting that I would probably get sick in some way shape or form they are the best most tastiest thing on the planet nom nom nom nom nom give me more

[u/DHawk216 → u/horusluprecall]

This guy olives. I once asked Santa to bring me a whole can of olives and tell my parents I get to eat the whole thing. Santa delivered 😎

[u/Previous-Act9413 → u/DHawk216]

Omg for Christmas a couple years ago I got a variety pack of 5 different jars of olives (almond stuffed, blue cheese stuffed, etc) and it's actually one of my favourite gifts I've ever received 🤤

[u/sameold_garbanzos → u/virginsloot]

"A black olive was somewhere in the room when this pizza was made- send it back!"

[u/oohhsheGAYgay → u/virginsloot]

Ummm…. You definitely mispronounced ANY OLIVES 😆

[u/_Bad_Bob_ → u/virginsloot]

Same. I've tried hard to aquire the taste but I just can't... 

[u/ActuatorNo3322 → u/_Bad_Bob_]

lol I saw a post recently that was like “my annual attempt at tasting an olive. i still hate them”
my partner loves them so i’ve grown to at least tolerating their residue if i pick them off food

[u/kaleidingscope → u/virginsloot]

I refer to them as Satan’s Grapes or Flavor Bullies. They taste gross to me and they instantly take over any dish.

I can pick things off pizzas that I’m not feeling at the moments, but olives drive their flavor down DEEP into any dish.

[u/Trisaratopswastaken → u/virginsloot]

"just pick them off"

No! They leave behind their flavor and it's ruined!

[u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

Truffle oil

[u/donnie_dark0 → u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

I've tried many truffle dishes, thinking maybe I'm getting fake truffles or truffle oil, or maybe they're overdoing it on the balance. There's never been a "oh so this is what it's supposed to taste like" moment. It's always taken dishes down a notch, or made them completely inedible.

[u/beam__me__up → u/donnie_dark0]

Why do they taste musty??

[u/apri08101989 → u/beam__me__up]

I mean. They are a fungus

[u/QKofDaggers → u/donnie_dark0]

Good truffles taste like unwashed ass.

[u/wave1sys → u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

Real Truffles too, tried dishes with them twice because i thought the first it couldn’t not have been the truffles that made want puke on the first bite.

[u/QueenRotidder → u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

my dad is a human garbage disposal. truffle oil is literally the only thing he won’t eat LOL

[u/AdequateSteve → u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

Get ready for all the truffle trolls to start telling you how you’re wrong and you must not have had REAL truffle oil otherwise you’d have liked it…

[u/sadgouda → u/AdequateSteve]

I’m willing to fight the truffle oil advocates

[u/wootybooty → u/AdequateSteve]

Yup, I went to a restaurant called STK I believe, and they had truffle oil fries and truffle butter for the steak. My entire meal smelled like a foot and tasted like dirt.

[u/bro_salad → u/wootybooty]

STK is the worst dining experience per dollar spent I’ve ever encountered

[u/joobtastic → u/wootybooty]

STK is such a shit franchise.

[u/Silaquix → u/AdequateSteve]

And to them I say, not everyone even like real truffles. It's an acquired taste and honestly the only reason ppl fall over themselves to get it is because it's expensive

[u/MonkeyChoker80 → u/Agreeable_Feature_85]

I kinda wonder if there’s something like the ‘cilantro=soap taste’ gene that means to others ‘truffles=feet taste’.

[u/sailphish]

Maybe not super common, but lavender. I’ve never had something with lavender that wouldn’t have been better without the lavender. I feel like they put it in deserts to be fancy, but the food just ends up smelling like laundry detergent.

[u/Aint2Proud2Meg → u/sailphish]

YES!

I’ve tried some posh desserts/teas, etc with lavender and it’s like a mouthful of Mr. Bubble.

It made me even more diligent about checking with people before putting cilantro in anything. I do not envy the people with the gene that makes it taste like soap, and that’s a much more common ingredient than lavender (in my neck of the woods).

[u/ZenMoe → u/Aint2Proud2Meg]

It does taste like soap 🤢

[u/Aint2Proud2Meg → u/ZenMoe]

I gave it so many tries because I figured the scent was making me associate it with soap/cleaners, and I thought I might be able to enjoy it if I slowed down and really tried it.

I’m done trying it now 😂

[u/LadyMetalMagic13 → u/sailphish]

Some people don’t know there are different types of lavender and one is very soapy. The other is more sweet in scent and flavour.
Some cooks think they can be used interchangeably.

So yeah. Some chefs/bakers use the wrong types and it’s best to not use lavender in cooking.

[u/pokeyporcupine → u/sailphish]

Ngl, I do love lavender. Its its own flavor like vanilla or chocolate or elderflower

[u/Violet624 → u/pokeyporcupine]

Me too. I genuinely love floral flavors like lavender and rose. Rose is used a good amount in Middle Eastern cooking, maybe more in deserts now that I thonk about it? But I love it. I don't think people are faking liking it, it's just not everyone's thing.

[u/Pie_am_Error → u/sailphish]

I can see where you're coming from but whew, I tried a lavender latte and it was exceptional somehow. Certainly wouldn't want it in desserts though. 

[u/gingerzombie2 → u/Pie_am_Error]

They have to use a very light hand to do it properly. A lot of times it's overdone and you get the gross flavor they were talking about.

[u/Initial-Comedian-797]

Anise or fennel (anything that tastes of black licorice) 🤢

[u/Peeterdactyl → u/Initial-Comedian-797]

Even Italian sausage?

[u/OdysseusX → u/Peeterdactyl]

Especially Italian sausage. Meat lover pizza makes me sad unless I can customize it.

[u/TransparentFostering → u/OdysseusX]

ESPECIALLY Italian sausage.

[u/LurkyLoo28 → u/OdysseusX]

Yes! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. My kids like it, though, because I’ll pick the sausage off my slice and give it to them to add to their pizza.

[u/AlternativeAd1456 → u/Peeterdactyl]

Fennel is the most common way to ruin a sausage

[u/CAredditBoss → u/Initial-Comedian-797]

This is fascinating. I actually love fennel but don’t like it in black licorice.

[u/AgrajagTheProlonged → u/Initial-Comedian-797]

Have you ever tried fennel bulbs? They have a rather interesting flavor imo

[u/cdecker0606 → u/AgrajagTheProlonged]

I hate anise and fennel seeds, but I don’t mind a fennel bulb sliced up in a salad.

[u/thepandaguard → u/Initial-Comedian-797]

Fennel for me. It just ruins anything it's in for me.

[u/jazzieberry → u/thepandaguard]

Same. It took me years to know what it was about Italian sausage I didn’t like until I made a new recipe that called for fennel and I took a little taste before adding it and was like OH GOD that’s the thing I don’t like in sausage lol.

[u/Immortal_in_well → u/jazzieberry]

I have an Italian sausage recipe where I just... don't add the fennel. It's bomb-ass delicious without it.

"But then it's not Italian sausage!!" Okay? I'm still not putting in fucking fennel. Leave me alone.

[u/darkhelmet1121]

Stevia

[u/IndependenceLore]

Raisins in savory food.

[u/purrita → u/IndependenceLore]

Or in cookies when you’re expecting chocolate chips. Just a mouthful of disappointment

[u/problyurdad_ → u/purrita]

The older I got, the opposite became true. Now I’m more disappointed in chocolate chips when I was expecting raisins 😂

[u/sameold_garbanzos → u/IndependenceLore]

An easy way to send an otherwise good tuna salad straight to hell

[u/BrianKronberg]

Shell. Sorry Maryland, getting shell in my crab cakes does not prove it’s real, it proves laziness in the kitchen.

[u/Breaker247 → u/BrianKronberg]

100%. God forbid it happens at the beginning of the meal. I’m walking on eggshells the rest of the night

[u/firecatstef → u/BrianKronberg]

Shells are not supposed to be an ingredient! (This is why I don’t eat seafood with skeletal material attached. Except maybe a shrimp with the tail still attached now and then.)

[u/nietzschecat]

Fish oil. The tiniest amount of fish oil in anything will override any other flavors in the dish for me. And in case anyone is wondering, fish to me, tastes like the smell of a dirty wet dog.

[u/EatThyStool → u/nietzschecat]

My brother once blended a fish oil pill with his chocolate protein shake. I cant remember if he took a sip or not but I remember smelling it from across the room.

[u/Ill-Veterinarian4208]

Anise. Fennel, hate black licorice

[u/BernieTheDachshund]

Rose water.

[u/truck_robinson → u/BernieTheDachshund]

Tastes like perfume. It's disgusting

[u/Bradleynailer]

Celery

[u/TypicalSmartlass]

Liquid smoke

[u/marshalist]

Sand.

[u/JonBarghestTheAuthor → u/marshalist]

It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

[u/Few_Razzmatazz_6052 → u/marshalist]

Found Anakin's account.

[u/jittery_raccoon → u/marshalist]

This is why a romantic picnic on the beach is not romantic

[u/TheBallotInYourBox]

Almond extract.

Whatever the “right” amount is most people (in the Midwest at least) use 100x more than that.

[u/smithe2383]

Beets

[u/RainLoveMu → u/smithe2383]

Bears

[u/Statman12 → u/RainLoveMu]

Battlestar Galactica 

[u/Evalori → u/Statman12]

"What is going on!?!"

[u/Chiperoni → u/Evalori]

Michael!

[u/Evalori → u/Chiperoni]

Michael!

[u/thatisnotmyknob → u/smithe2383]

They taste like dirt.

[u/silverback2267 → u/smithe2383]

“That’s because you haven’t had it this way”. Nope, still tastes like dirt (I wasn’t a smart kid).

[u/Sanderze]

Cilantro. Thanks but no thanks

[u/Musclecar123 → u/Sanderze]

It’s a genetic thing. You either love cilantro (like me) or it tastes like soap. 

[u/Sweetestpeaest → u/Musclecar123]

Not always. It doesn’t taste like soap to me and I still hate it. It just overpowers everything. No thanks.

[u/Bungtrollio108 → u/Musclecar123]

I don't taste soap. It just doesn't taste good. It's too overpowering IMO

[u/taskum → u/Bungtrollio108]

YES exactly. Put it on a delicious curry and I taste 0% curry but 100% cilantro. Might as well just eat bland porridge with cilantro at that point.

[u/mikeumm → u/Musclecar123]

I don't get the soap comparison. That would be so much better. To me it tastes exactly like stink bugs smell. Blechhh

[u/nebbia87 → u/mikeumm]

Agreed. Tastes more like a toxic chemical to me than soap

[u/Emotional-Swim-808 → u/Musclecar123]

Or your like me who dont mind it and it has a slight aftertaste of soap

[u/noodle-face → u/Sanderze]

Yeah unfortunately I taste soap so it quite literally ruins anything it's on for me

[u/faousa → u/Sanderze]

It took 35 long years for me to be vindicated over my hatred of cilantro. Living in the Mediterranean, people look at me like I'm mad. I'm SO glad there's so many others!

[u/Barlaysm]

Olives. Never could stand the smell or taste. 

[u/dancinghippie28]

Green peppers for me, that shit permeates everything!!!

[u/crochetawayhpff]

Olives. Can't handle them at all

[u/Graz13]

Kale. Feed that to your iguana

[u/Disastrous-Wing699 → u/Graz13]

It me. I am iguana.

[u/tarsiertoes]

Truffle oil

[u/Musclecar123]

Star Anise

[u/Smallbutfluffy]

I HATE mint. A bit of mint ruins a dish for me. I love spring rolls but can’t get them most of the time because of mint :(

[u/ilikechickentoo]

Raw onions

[u/umamimaami → u/ilikechickentoo]

Same. Please no. Especially raw red onions. Sulfur crunch isn’t my idea of a nice condiment.

But pickle them, or even caramelise them (well) and suddenly there’s love again.

[u/graccha → u/ilikechickentoo]

Raw onion absolutely wrecks my stomach in addition to tasting bad. I was always confused why I can tolerate McDonald's burgers with onions because why would that be my only exception... Turns out they rehydrate dehydrated onion.

[u/GraySide390 → u/ilikechickentoo]

Apparently I’m “immature” for not liking raw onions. It’s good I’m not alone.

[u/KattyBee → u/ilikechickentoo]

It just overpowers everything else for me.

[u/boxsterguy → u/KattyBee]

If you otherwise like them but don't like them being overpowering, try soaking them in cold water for a couple minutes after cutting.

Won't help if you just don't like onions, though.

[u/CNJ08540 → u/boxsterguy]

I do this when I make Salsa Verde w raw onion...works!

[u/Scared-Replacement24 → u/ilikechickentoo]

Specifically red for me 🤢

[u/CompanionCubeKiller → u/Scared-Replacement24]

Same here. Cannot stand raw red onion. Absolutely love pickled red onion though.

[u/zaftpunk → u/ilikechickentoo]

Same. Absolutely overpowers every other flavor and stays in my mouth forever. But damn do I love me some cooked onions

[u/leave-no-trace-1000 → u/ilikechickentoo]

Any kind of onions for me. Cooked or not. Come join the sane at r/onionhate

[u/FeelingReserve1459]

Celery stalk in any cooked dish. It just overpowers everything.

[u/sc0ttt → u/FeelingReserve1459]

Celery. Smells like urine, feels like hair in my mouth, tastes like ipecac.

Don't like it in cold dishes either; like salads.

[u/ALoudMeow → u/FeelingReserve1459]

They’re in these chicken pot pies we like and the first thing I do is take off the top crust and pick every last celery bit outta there!

[u/CrystalShipss]

I hate cucumbers man. like thats the one ingredient I cant just pick off or around because now everything has slimy cucumber juice on it.

[u/baabaabaabeast]

Truffle oil. Real Truffles are amazing! Cheap ass truffle oil always makes a dish worse.

[u/Stumpy2584]

Raw onion

[u/Koalashart1]

Peas. Fuck you.

[u/Rich-Reason1146 → u/Koalashart1]

Give peas a chance

[u/jr111192 → u/Rich-Reason1146]

No justice, no peas.

[u/MaintenanceCareful37 → u/Koalashart1]

Oh God yeah. They're just have such an overpowering taste. Absolutely ruin a Sunday roast - I have to pick every single one of them off my plate and one will still somehow get into the mashed potato and contaminate it.

[u/DorothyMantooth-]

RAISINS! ew

[u/YodasTinyGreenPenis]

coconut

[u/red_Rog → u/YodasTinyGreenPenis]

This exactly. Ruins everything for me too.

[u/QueenRotidder → u/YodasTinyGreenPenis]

thank you i haaaaate coconut

[u/lacisghost → u/YodasTinyGreenPenis]

Ugh, right. Like in a cake. WHAT!!!!

[u/Dry-Success-2780]

Capers

[u/AdAccomplished6870]

Ricin

[u/microwizard → u/AdAccomplished6870]

Some people eat ricin once.

[u/AlphaIota → u/AdAccomplished6870]

Nonsense. Most of my sushi rolls have ricin them. 

[u/august_wst → u/AdAccomplished6870]

Ricin beans. That’s the best you could come up with?!

[u/Professional-Hat6823]

Chopped onions.

[u/unusualamountofloam]

Cilantro.

[u/gamotleyfan]

raw red onions - ruins the whole dish

[u/dumplinglifesaver]

Olives

[u/PollutionTricky2076]

Cilantro. I’d prefer not to eat soap.

[u/WinterSummersisle]

Horseradish.

[u/Radiant_Reflection]

Cumin. I’m Mexican, but in my mother‘s region of Mexico, cumin was not really used. Unfortunately a lot of people use this atrocity in their cooking. I absolutely hate it.

[u/JackieDaetona → u/Radiant_Reflection]

Fucking hate cumin to death. I grew up eating a lot of Sonoran style Mexican food. Whenever I go anywhere else their idea of "Mexican" flavor anything is just a fucking shotgun blast of cumin. I blame those shitty 80c taco seasoning packets at the grocery store.

[u/papasmurf303]

Anything that touched a silicone utensil that’s been through the dishwasher. Apparently I’m one of the lucky few who has the receptors for it, and it makes anything taste like pure dish soap was added to it.

[u/red_Rog → u/papasmurf303]

Fascinating...

[u/lilythelion → u/papasmurf303]

It took me years to figure this out but eventually I replaced all my utensils and now my food tastes good again. I could not understand why everything tasted like soap.

[u/Moveyourbloominass]

Mushrooms

[u/pilotswing78190]

Mushrooms

[u/Tattycakes → u/pilotswing78190]

Disgusting

Why would anyone eat slimy rubber that tastes like dirt

[u/The_Broomflinger → u/pilotswing78190]

Awful. Tastes like how potting soil smells and it permeates the entire dish. That potting soil taste takes so long to fade away too! I don't understand how people enjoy it. Ruins pizzas, pastas, Chinese food, casseroles... all sorts of food.

[u/amazed_and_worried]

Lamb... I cant stand it

[u/TheDadThatGrills]

I have eaten maybe half a dozen dishes in my life that we're improved by Truffle Oil. If I'm being generous.

[u/Mountain_Top802 → u/TheDadThatGrills]

Truffle oil tastes like fancy dirt.

[u/SunOS-]

Truffle salt. It tastes like dirt to me.

[u/sincerelydeceased]

Green peppers

[u/Isley_Bloomers]

Ginger. Just not a fan

[u/hoodncsu → u/Isley_Bloomers]

Usually takes more than a dash, but yeah, quickly becomes overpowering

[u/MJ-Franklin]

Cardamom pods. Awful things to bite into.

[u/Olfima → u/MJ-Franklin]

I think, as a cook, you supposed to remove those

[u/DroidOnPC → u/Olfima]

My girlfriend makes Indian dishes a lot and she leaves them in. Biting into them is the worst lol.

I try to fish them out when she’s done cooking but sometimes I miss one.

I recently bought some cheese cloth so she can just wrap all those things up together and throw it away when she’s done. Much better now.

[u/PSL242]

Goat cheese

[u/hellojeanine]

Dried fruit in baked goods.

[u/Oztravels]

[u/Laszerus]

Blue cheese... just gross

[u/dubaichild]

Banana 🤮🤮🤮

[u/DixAndBallz → u/dubaichild]

YES!! I wish they'd stop putting banana in tropical mixes! Even a sliver of banana completely negates any mango or pineapple they put in it

[u/Javascript4971]

Olives

[u/Scottydawg15 → u/Javascript4971]

Thank god it’s not just me.

[u/Roxafeena]

Green bell peppers

[u/where_the_folk → u/Roxafeena]

Half my family is from Louisiana where bell pepper is part of the holy trinity. But for me, any bit of bell pepper just makes the whole dish taste like nothing but bell pepper. It scandalized my mother when she learned I just leave it out.

[u/Jessgitalong → u/Roxafeena]

Bitter, without any redeeming quality.

[u/onsugarhill83 → u/Roxafeena]

All bell peppers for me. I have always wanted to like them because they are so pretty and in so many foods, but something about the flavor of bell peppers makes me nauseous.

I love hot peppers, though, and often just use poblano or anaheim or cubanelle peppers in recipes that call for bell peppers.

[u/bocepheid → u/onsugarhill83]

I am on this wavelength. Bell pepper makes me feel like I've been mildly poisoned; sweet peppers of any kind are ick. I once grew banana peppers and no thanks. Hot peppers, though, yes please.

For me the worst offenders are Thai restaurants that seem to list everything in a dish but bell pepper isn't listed. Have suffered through so many dishes I couldn't stand.

[u/fatnino → u/Roxafeena]

Any color bell pepper.

If you even cut my food with a knife you used to cut peppers earlier I will know, and I won't like it.

Worse offenders are those who mix it into salad alongside tomatoes. I like tomatoes, I don't like being tricked into putting pepper on my plate.

[u/DataWeenie]

Pickles

[u/zaftpunk → u/DataWeenie]

Damn, I’m an extra pickle guy myself.

[u/filter_86d]

Raisins

They are dirty chocolate imposters

[u/graptemys → u/filter_86d]

Failed grapes.

[u/oldnyoung → u/filter_86d]

I don’t understand why they’re always in cinnamon baked goods, just makes them worse

[u/darklinkuk]

Lemongrass, which is a shame because I love thai food

[u/DarthWenus]

Onions.

[u/MyCoffeeIsCold]

Raw onions

[u/ivonne23]

Arugula

[u/Sasquatch-d → u/ivonne23]

My god I can’t believe how far I had to scroll to find someone saying this. Arugula is awful and it’s in just about every menu item now.

[u/BellaBigNose]

Mushrooms

[u/AcceptableOnsight]

Onions. I must be a super-taster bc it just overwhelms any other taste.

[u/maliciousmaneater]

Bell peppers.
I fucking hate bell peppers.

[u/immoraltoast]

Peas. Ruins the taste of whatever its against. I Hate peas.

[u/killian_darkwaterr]

Fucking capers

[u/Ksan_of_Tongass]

One slice of green bell pepper. That awful taste permeates the entire dish. Even the smell of them irritates me.
