What is the one ingredient that you always ask to be omitted from a dish?

[vraiblonde]

For me it's green pepper.

And if they can't leave off the gp, like it's already cooked into the dish, I order something else.

Same. And black pepper, especially peppercorns. Or anything with caraway.

Nothing I can think of, but if it comes with some kind of sauce or dressing, I always ask for it on the side. Salads, gravies, etc... I like being able to taste the dish I asked for rather than the drowning sauce.

Mayo and Blue Cheese.

Oh, and kiwi! I love kiwi's, they don't love me.

 

[DaSDGuy]

Sour cream. My kids love it, but always go bonkers over something in the fridge that is expired.

Once had a customer ask if our chili had onions in it!

I'm allergic to onions, which is why I cook almost everything from scratch. People put onions in everything.

Why , yes.

Yes, I do.

Also Mushrooms...

 

[Monello]

Yellow & red bell peppers. Yellow peppers have a waxy consistency. I don't like a ton of cherry tomatoes in my salad. 2-3 are fine.
I don't like low & no fat versions of something tasty. Like ranch dressing.

I never ask to omit anything.
Growing up poor in the hills of Western MD , I learned to eat everything and enjoy it. It served me well in Korea.

I did ask one time for a dish to be altered for me. It was a seafood platter with shrimp, scallops, rockfish, and crab. I asked if they could replace the crab with any other seafood. The waiter looked at me like I had 2 heads

Guess I’m the oddball - I never ask for anything to be withheld.

Ok I guess you are in the oddball group with me.

 

[black dog]

Mushrooms, Olives, Mayo, relish, pickles, any sauce on the side and banana peppers are all first...
Plain with lettuce and cheese...

Me either. I just pick it out if I don't want it. I only ask for "light on the salt".

 

[UglyBear]

Iceberg lettuce on burgers.
it has no taste, no nutritional value, and quite often is old wilted and slimy.
success rate of trying to get a burger without it - 50/50.
