some people have a substitution problem

[honigfrosch]

I cooked something last week and, no joke, there was some nitwit in the comments talking about how she subbed beef for pork, left out the soy sauce, made any number of other changes, and then gave the recipe one star because it didn't taste good? YOU DIDN'T MAKE THE RECIPE, BRENDA. You made whatever other unholy concoction of ground beef and ditch water you described in your comment.

Context is pshaw_raven being a wiz in the kitchen.

I bet the cake of people saying "I did this recipe, and swapped in this thing, and it worked fine for me" because sometimes you want to make a thing, but you have allergies or don't have everything on hand, but the thing worked sounds much more like someone not understanding how the cooking works and lashing out that they can't just pick and choose what to use and what to do and it'll turn out delicious. If that's what someone wants, they need to learn how to cook without recipes.
