Recipe Trolls

I have discovered a new form of internet troll in the wild. Recipe trolls. It's the type who, instead of arguing from one side or another, confines his comment to a recipe.

This is done to mock the issue or disparage the topic. In some cases, it might be a weak and lazy attempt to threadjack the conversation.

What is this world coming to? Now even the internet trolls are slackers, moving into new lows of mediocrity!

Here's an example of a Recipe Troll comment:
