Gregory's Server@djdesign @bestiaexmachina LOL this describes my behavior. This and my rule that if an online recipe mentions agave, I close the tab and walk away

 @Mlep Oh no! 🙈 Maybe it's similar to the coriander phenomenon? Apparently it's a matter of genetics whether coriander tastes great or soapy to you. To be honest, if a recipe asks for agave syrup (which mostly seems to be a thing in vegan recipes) I just replace it with maple syrup. I have no idea what agave tastes like or if they taste similar at all, but it seems to work because the food turns out tasting great. 😄 @bestiaexmachina Ah yeah, I can do coriander/cilantro just fine -- it's delicious! So I'm not sure! Also yes, agave seems prevalent in vegan stuff. I just go with whatever I have on hand -- sugar, molasses, maple syrup, corn syrup, honey etc. Usually works but just reading the recipe reminds me of a soap flavor and I lose my willpower to even try it, haha. |
@Mlep Haha, that's an interesting rule! Can I ask why? (I'm not familiar with using agave for cooking so please forgive my ignorance.)
