Eggs
Are the eggs gone? No panic! Even though they are an important ingredient in some recipes, especially in pasta, they can be replaced with half a banana or half a teaspoon of yeast. Interesting, right?
corn syrup
This is not one of the most popular ingredients here in Brazil, but it is common in some dishes and delicacies outside the country. So, if you’re making something that uses corn syrup and you don’t have the ingredient at home, just replace it with honey.

Beer
