This hostility can and does spill over into recipe comments, of course. Like the rest of the world of food and cooking, recipe comments are not a sacrosanct space apart from or above the fray, and nor should they be. As such, recipe comments are often practical: this requires much more salt. We do have plenty of suitable substitutes though and I really fancy having this at some point in the ‘12 days’.”I originally came to reading recipe comments in large part for their use value. The recipe comments function like a virtual watering hole where strangers swap tips and stories and occasionally the stray insight.
