Too true. Even if I have never done a recipe before, if there are
ingredients I don't like, I leave them out. Obviously some can't be
left out for chemical reasons, such as rising agents etc. but other
than that, spices etc. if I don't like them, they either go in with
smaller amounts or not at all.
