NOTE 1: You should look at the ingredient page for the ingredient you are deleting to see if it has been used in any recipes before attempting to delete it. If an ingredient has been used in a recipe any you attempt to delete it, the program assumes that you know what you are doing, and will permit the deletion. This may leave you with recipes with ingredient missing from their ingredient lists.
