Reminds me of the time that I desperately needed to make a latte but discovered I was out of milk. Rather than doing the smart thing and giving up I searched online to find out if sour cream can somehow be used as a substitute.

Turns out you can’t trust a single article in a sea of emptiness

It's the way search engines work.

Phrase a question wrong, and you'll get shitty results that agree.

Like Google "what causes an upset stomach" would probably give good results. Google "water causes upset stomach" because you think water causes it, and you'll get results about water causing an upset stomach. Even if that's not the cause in your situation

I once subbed ghee for butter when making icing for a cake. My logic was that ghee is just clarified butter. That may be true, but it tasted awful. I'm worried now that this comment will somehow find its way into an AI nugget recommending ghee as a butter substitute. It isn't! Don't do it! (Delicious for curries though.)

You can swap between the two for most baking if the it’s going to be paired with a lot of flavour. Pizza dough, naan, etc. But as a base for something, yeah, I wouldn’t 😆

Exactly. A lot of savoury flavour. Not sweet, never sweet. The icing was ginger, the spice didn't help.

As I understand it, one could use butter as a creamer substitute, but I don't drink coffee, and I doubt that you could make a latte with it, just based on my culinary experience.
