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
popeye the sailor man GIFGiphy"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
kids children GIF by PlayKidsGiphy"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."

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"

Ruins
eat season 2 GIF by PortlandiaGiphy"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.
Which items do you never put on your grocery list that we should add to this one? Let us know in the comments.
Redditor NiceSwimmingSugar wanted to make everybody a little hungry by asking:
"What tastes better a little burnt?"
I like a burger burnt. I like it medium too... but burnt works.
Carb Away
space browns GIFGiphy"Potatoes."
ihatemakingids
"Hashbrowns specifically."
VespineWings
"In all forms!"
FLYINGDOGS89
Ruffage
"Roasted carrots. Make them just a bit black on the edges and they're so freaking good."
KeytapTheProgrammer
"Basically just any kind of cooked vegetable is better off a little crispy. Almost all of them that aren't leafy greens."
"It's thankfully different now but a few decades ago we all grew up with crappy boiled vegetables and maybe canned ones. It seems like most people have upped the veggie game a little bit."
appleparkfive
Best of the pieces...
"Ends."
jasazick
"You cannot claim to have the best BBQ if you don't have burnt ends. Burnt ends are the greatest piece of meat you can put in your mouth. And yes, I mean even better than that."
"I'll start the freaking war, I don't give a crap. Kansas City invented burnt ends. You clowns in the other wanna be BBQ capitals are literally not even making the best item!"
"Therefore, KC BBQ>>>>>"
ThatsBushLeague
"Burnt ends really are life Shout-out to Bears smokehouse. Originally in CT of all places, there's a few locations now. Burnt ends are out of this world."
djsedna
the brassica family...
"Broccoli... idk why, but Broccoli."
smilecrocodile1
"Seconded. On the why: it's something about sulphur reacting compounds in veggies of the brassica family. This video comes to mind. Very informative! https://youtu.be/B2Q4RRjNveE"
zzzzzuu
"Broccoli raw? ick."
"Broccoli steamed? okay I guess."
"Broccoli roasted until a bit charred? chef's kiss..."
Grombrindal18
Protein Burn
Giphy"Bratwurst."
m_nels
"I had a slightly burnt brat from a grill at a rooftop party at 1 am in Munich one time. It was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. 😂"
CharlySB
Sausages must be burnt. Amen.
Anything...
Summer Grilling GIF by Kohl'sGiphy"Most anything you grill. I like things a bit more than a little charred."
Hawkmoon_
Good Old American...
"Dogs. Slightly burnt Hotdogs."
HotHeadedIdiot
"Especially red casing hot dogs. Grill marks, of course, but also a little bit more than that and they're just perfect with some mustard, onions, and occasionally, bbq sauce."
ItinerantSoldier
"Love hot dogs burnt on the grill. More than slight, full on burnt with plenty of yellow mustard and relish for topping when they’re ready for a mildly toasted roll."
jrocker59
a little divot...
"Grilled onions."
Clcooper423
"Hell yeah.
"I did a yellow onion, whole, in the oven recently. Carved out a little divot on top for butter and bouillon, then wrapped it in foil and put it next to my baking potato. I bet it would be really good on the grill, too."
"Felt weird eating an onion and a potato for dinner, like, someone in Skyrim... but it was incredibly tasty."
CritMasterFlex
burn the flour
"Quesadillas."
Big_D_Daddy_38
"I remember when I was little, whenever my dad made me a quesadilla, he would always make it a little burnt, and to this day, I still can’t make one that has the right amount of burntness as my dad used to do."
CaptinDerpII
"As a Mexican, I can confirm. Especially if you use flour tortillas."

La La La Happy Dance GIF by Super SimpleGiphy"Pepperoni on a pizza."
8BitSk8r
"Non-crispy pepperoni is about a 4 on a scale from 1 to 10 in my book, but burn the edges a little and it goes straight to 10."
cedertra
"Pizza in general."
psychedelicdevilry
Now I'm hungry. Glad I have ideas for what to eat!
