I thought I hated capsicum most of my life but lately (past my mid 30s) I’ve come to actually really like it raw. As in salads or sandwiches. I’m enjoying that. As a child my parents would add it frequently to meals but it would always be cooked and I was never a fan.
Or mushrooms for example. I love them almost any way except preserved. If they came from inside a tin or jar with long shelf life the taste is just horrendous.
Similar for artichokes, they must be fresh.
I love sesame seeds, but I absolutely hate sesame seed oil and I can’t understand why. The taste is so different.
Curious about yours. Any similar examples?
Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.
The only thing I like cooked spinach for is spinach dip. It’s acceptable as a layer in things like lasagna, but I won’t complain if it isn’t there.
It’s dinosaur time
Open the door, get on the floor!
Everybody chew like dinosaurs!
Same. Raw spinach salad for days, but cook or can it and it immediately becomes one of my most hated foods.
Carrots are not as bad but I don’t care for them cooked, especially when raw carrots are so tasty.
