Controversial Recipe Ingredients

Saffron, that craps expensive as all get out and always calls for the tiniest smidgeon. If I see a recipe with it I either don’t make the recipe or skip that ingredient. Maybe I’m missing something here.
 
It's not really controversial per se, but I've found fish sauce to work in some soups and things that I might not have expected. One of my favorite uses for ground meat is a green curry that's got a healthy dose. Smells sooo bad straight up though.
I'm not allowed to cook with that anymore after stinking up the kitchen. Someone had suggested getting a hot plate and cooking outside, though.

I'll add pickles and olives to the list, and someone had mentioned bacon earlier, so I'll put that fake bacon bit mess on here, too.
 
Ya'll are monsters.

I'm taking my bell peppers, cilantro, avocados and going home.

I don't care for olives, like some fine, lots no.
Can’t stand olives, their looks, taste or smell. My wife loves them, my 2 year old likes half a jar dumped in a bowl and eats them by the spoonful.
 
Real Maple Syrup over that Mrs.Buttersworth crap.

Pint of Guinness is the best drink out their
 
I've definitely expanded my foods as I've gotten older. I don't pick olives off my food anymore but I won't seek them out. I'll eat a few bites of Guacamole, but I wont order it. I used to eschew Eggs in any form but baked in a cake. Now I can eat Scrambled.

I don't see the appeal of Avocados.
 
Ok give us your controversial ingredients because I need something less political. Particularly of interest if you'd add them to your game recipes

Any dealbreakers?

...and GO!
Fun thread from the guy that broke out a can of cold spaghettios for breakfast on Randy11’s moose hunt.....😂🤢

All the rest of you guys need to have your palate expanded a bit...😁
 
Shocked at the avocado hate😂, them and Jalapeños make pretty much all food better except maybe a few ice cream flavors. I’m not a picky eater, but I can’t stand the smell of curry, don’t understand what would possess anyone to contaminate food with that God awful concoction.
 
The only fry sauce is Ranch dressing with Tabasco.

Pineapple does not belong on pizza or in salads. I'm not sure where it belongs except fresh while are in Hawaii.

I once lost a hunting buddy when I put yellow mustard on his sandwich. No lie!
