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?
Hmm. Only thing I’ve found is I don’t like hot lettuce (so on a hot sandwich where it also gets hot). My husband hates raw tomatoes but loves everything they become. Sibling hates raw onions but likes them soft and cooked into soups and the like.
Fair fair. Yeah I’m not a fan of soggy lettuce, I can tolerate it now but as a kid I was adamant on not having it as part of my toastie or, even better, add it after toasting.
I’m not a picky eater, I can appreciate most flavors and textures, even if it takes some time. I guess I don’t really care for baked potatoes? I don’t dislike baked potatoes, I’ll eat em up, but I’d prefer practically any other method of preparation. Mashed, scalloped in a Dutch oven or stovetop, hash browns, fries, tater tots, soup.
Hmm, actually boiled has to take bottom rank, even in the best pot roasts the potatoes are the weak link
Main one is cucumbers, after my generous neighbors in my childhood gave us 2 large paper grocery bags of cucumbers and my mother used them in everything for the next month I was done for life, can’t stand them raw, but I will eat pickles all day.
The other would be raw tomatoes, the seed slime is not good for my autistic mouth
Oh no cucumbers have a very short shelf life if you spent a month eating cucumbers from the same batch they were probably going off by the end.
I imagine my mother was chucking any that looked off or more likely cutting off the parts that were bad and using the rest.
Parsley. Absolutely disgusting
Edit: i misunderstood - for the record parsley is awful in all shapes and forms
Bananas have about a 20 min viability window for me.
I’m the opposite of a picky eater, I’m a goat and there are almost no foods i won’t eat. Except for raw celery. Good lord is that stuff difficult to choke down. Cooked up it’s great!
Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and brussel sprouts.
I’ve heard “you just haven’t had them done the right way” so many times, from so many people, who then make them their preferred way and they still taste like straight up dookie.
No amount of butter, or cheese, or time spent cooking under any kind of application of heat makes these things taste palatable.
Plus they all stink like farts when cooked, which just makes it worse.
I’ve got that gene that converts asparagus into, uh, interesting smelling piss. Weird thing is that it hits within an hour of eating it.
I can only guess that you forgot and left out cabbage?
Fun fact, that gene is only about whether you can smell the compound in the piss, not whether your body processes asparagus into that smell.
They tested this by having people smell other people’s urine, and found that the people who can smell it in their own piss can also smell it in the piss of everyone who eats asparagus, even of the people who claim not to produce that smell.
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.
I not only hate vegetables but what they do to me is just plain nasty. I can only eat peas, artichokes and sometimes corn. Oh and marmite, I can eat that stuff right out of the bottle. I eat any veg and bam I am a fart machine for hours, my stomach hurts like hell and my bowels freak out. I am almost 70 and I have yet to die from not eating veg. What I almost died from was friends and family incessantly saying “eat your vegetables” like I am 5 year old.
Do potatoes also go in your blacklist? Most veg rejectors I’ve known seem to be okay with that
Love spuds, no issues at all. Avocados now that I think of it as well sometimes.
Cooked chicken = me fed
Raw chicken = me ded
Nuff sed
Raw carrot good
Cooked carrot bad
Love cucumbers, hate pickles.
Vinegar in general is just disgusting to me.
Love tuna sushi. Hate hate hate canned tuna!
- Onions cept crispy fried kind
- Any thing canned
- Cꝏked vegs but SPECIALLY carrots 🤮
- Frozen pizzas save 1️⃣ brand . Always gets soggy in middle
What frozen pizza brand do you think doesn’t get soggy in the middle?
Strawberries and watermelon. The flavors are terrible in any way but fresh.
