Well there a too many to list individually. But I’d just say 85% (of what I have tried) from TPA, CAP, FW, LB and EF. This is just from my tastings and experiences with these brands… YMMV…

EDIT: I feel a need for an explanation…

Considering that these are the brands I primarily used in the beginning, and at this point they only comprise of 15% or less of my stash I feel this response is merited.

I’m not saying that 85% of those brands are bad, but I’ve been able to replace most of them with brands that better suit MY palate.

Perhaps that’s a bit besides the point… everybody has their preferences and everybody likes some flavors better than others.
What I think this thread is about, is flavors that you wouldn’t mix, even if they’d be given to you, flavors that you wouldn’t hand out to others just because they’re just that bad, flavors that make your stomach turn in a knot or make you feel nauseated even from a whiff of them :wink:

I considered that, but I answered the OP as honestly as I could. 85% of those are flavors I would not recommend to anyone. We all have different standards (subjective taste) and most of those just don’t work for what I expect.

I bought rf SC baklava to use in pastry recipes O.o that is something I bought based on reviews. Some pepole like it. To me it’s right up there with inw cavendish.

Oh, no! I just got this one and have a 2.5% SF steeping. Curious at what percent(ages) you tried it. Edit: also steep time? I’m waiting 2 weeks before I even smell test it!

I wish you’d said this before I purchased all the flavors listed in your Analyzing The 100 Top-Rated Recipes topic :grinning:. Awesome topic by the way. At least most of those 40 flavors are okay to me.

I do have some flavors that taste nasty to me and they are not all from the cheap brands. Yet other people rave about how wonderful these flavors are. I can’t taste strawberry e-juice, or cream (2 clubs I didn’t want to be in) so my tastes are not like most people’s.

That’s not my topic.

I’ve been preaching about researching flavors before you buy them for a very long time. A lot of people will tell you to start with the cheap stuff, but IMO starting with more accurate flavor choices will save you money in the long run…
