Some entries seem well off the mark with the heart of the trope- it\'s not about the ingredient, it\'s about the expectation that the ingredient should be there. an inversion involves inverting whether it is expected (it isn\'t to it is) and whether it is desired (asking specifically for it rather than asking for its removal). Similarly the exaggeration is to emphasise how unlikely it is for the ingredient to be present and then to insist harder that it not be on there.
