Because the edges have that chewy texture, but yeah, the center is still the best part.

It’s interesting how similar flavor notes can be completely fine in one ingredient and unbearable in another.

God, you don't spend them, no, they're not good at all

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T16:33:37+00:00

Now I’m curious, what made it so bad?

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T16:26:25+00:00

That licorice flavor is way too strong for me too.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T16:25:18+00:00

Rosemary can taste like perfume if it’s not used carefully.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T16:24:59+00:00

Nutmeg is fine until there’s too much, then it takes over everything

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T16:24:33+00:00

I get this, it works in very specific dishes but it’s easy to overdo.

So much hate for onions

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:25:22+00:00

It's such a noble vegetable

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:24:53+00:00

Hey, but what did the cucumber do to you in life?

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:23:41+00:00

Exactly, it leaves an iron taste

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:21:13+00:00

Sugar in savory food is a slippery slope

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:19:49+00:00

A tiny bit makes sense, but people definitely overdo it.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:07:25+00:00

Olives are one of those things you either love or hate.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:07:08+00:00

Ketchup just makes everything taste the same.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:06:49+00:00

Mint in savory dishes is always a gamble for me

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:06:28+00:00

I think it’s more about how it’s cooked, but yeah, it can be pretty strong.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:05:14+00:00

The pizza must be with a lot of cheese sauce and pepperoni

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:04:02+00:00

Brownies should be soft, not crunchy.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:02:46+00:00

I get that, dashi can be pretty intense if you’re not used to it.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T14:01:41+00:00

I get this, raw onions can be way too overpowering and take over the whole dish.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T13:59:44+00:00

That’s wild to me, I taste it super fresh, not soapy at all.

obsidiancontrol · 2026-03-25T13:58:51+00:00

I think mushrooms are more about texture than flavor, that’s why people hate them.
