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 celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It’s also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.
Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it’s not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.
Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn’t even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.
Yeah well can’t blame you on the celery. I also don’t like it much. I can eat it but it’s kinda eugh and I agree it absolutely has a taste. I also find it more bland if it’s been cooked but I don’t see it as an improvement.
Yup, it can add some nice colour, but besides that there isn’t much point. Thanks for the celery validation.
Celery is used as a flavouring. People who say it doesn’t taste of anything probably had Covid or something…
Cooked chicken = me fed
Raw chicken = me ded
Nuff sed
Raw tomatoes are a disgusting, slimy, mealy abomination. Tomato sauce, tomato soup, and ketchup are all excellent.
They only get mealy if your refrigerate them. They shouldn’t normally be slimy either. Juicy, yes, if properly ripe, but that’s not the same as slimy.
[Actually the seeds do have kind of a slippery coating, that I could see calling slimy.]
None of that is true for a ripe tomato. Problem is, the vast majority are picked green and ripen on the truck, and they are indeed repulsive.
Another issue is that we bred tomatoes to be nice and round and have smooth, evenly colored skin. That killed the genes that made them sweet and acidic. Try an “ugly tomato”, or maybe an heirloom, if you can find one.
Not a fan of the one on the right, but the pic mostly gets the point across.
Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.
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.
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!
Onions
Raw: arrgg can’t stand them. Maybe if it is a sweet onion and very thinly sliced, but otherwise keep it away from me.
Sauteed: Mmmmm… spread them over EVERYTHING!!!
Caramelized: Extremely inappropriate moaning noises…
I like pop tarts way more if they aren’t toasted
Bananas have about a 20 min viability window for me.
Tuna. When I was a kid, I was sometimes fed canned tuna in sandwiches and they were vile. I always thought the person who made them put way too much mayo in (I was also off mayo for a long time) but it occurs to me now that maybe it was Miracle Whip? Anyway they were awful. My brother threw up all over the table once during such a lunch.
Anyway, as an adult I finally was brave enough to try sushi tuna, and it’s fine. If you sear it though, it tastes enough like the canned stuff that I can’t eat it. 100% raw is okay though.
Raw carrot good
Cooked carrot bad
Love tuna sushi. Hate hate hate canned tuna!
I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it’s cooked in any form.
Similarly I also prefer cabbage raw, but it’s just a preference.
Raw cabbages are delicious. It’s a way better green for salads than any kind of lettuce. It’s crispy.
- Onions cept crispy fried kind
- Any thing canned
- Cꝏked vegs but SPECIALLY carrots 🤮
- Frozen pizzas save 1️⃣ brand . Always gets soggy in middle
Pineapple needs to be fresh. Coconut on the other hand, as awful as it is in shredded form, it turns out is actually WORSE fresh.
Last August my family went to Maui and on our last day we toured the Maui Pineapple farm.
OMG… I didn’t know that was how pineapple was supposed to taste. It is NOTHING like what we get here in Wisconsin.
As a kid, I passed a strawberry jam factory each day,on my way to school. The horribly sweet smell made me abhor any processed strawberry. But fresh strawberries? Anytime.
Cheese is great on a pizza.
But:
Cheese is terrible in mac & cheese (I mean like: I hate mac & cheese)
Cheese also ruins a sandwich imo
Ok… Do you like cheese alone? What about a cheese platter with crackers maybe?
