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 Brussel sprouts are better than boiled. I can’t eat raw apples because of the texture but I love apple flavoured stuff. Beans are good when they’re not boiled or from a tin.

      Have you tried many different types of apples? I find that some have a gritty almost fuzzy texture that I can’t stand, but some other apples have a completely different texture.

      What? Raw brussel sprouts? I haven’t tried them raw, any recommendations?

      Beans? You mean like green peas right? Otherwise the red kidney or black beans are mega hard if not boiled or not from a tin.

        I mean peas, yes. Brussel sprouts are even better cut in half and slightly seared on a pan.
