I used to absolutely hate cucumber, to the point that I could taste it if someone cut a tomato salad with the same knife they used for the cucumber without washing it in between, the whole tomato salad would be ruined for me.
I could smell instantly when someone started chopping cucumber in the other room.
That's it, my superpower is to detect traces of cucumber.
That reminds me, when we were kids my little sister used to call cucumber slices "ice cubes". No idea why.
That's really impressive, since to be cucumber mostly just tastes like water. (This could just be where I'm getting my cucumber, though.)
This might be one of those things we haven't discovered yet, like the soap/cilantro thing.
Cucumber has a very strong flavor to me.
It dominates everything else, few things are further away from water than (unfermented) cucumbers.
Me but with celery. It fucking sucks, I only have it to give it to my guinea pigs.
I thought I was the only one omg. The closest thing I could find is the mutation that makes cilantro taste like soap, but that tastes fine to me.
Do you have the same issue with watermelon ? Because for me watermelon or honeydew have the same kind of taste as cucumber, not as strong but still enough for me to stay away from it.
I never really put two and two together but yeah. They're just not as offensively awful. That's crazy!
I have this, but for mushrooms....cooked mushrooms have the worst taste, the smell gets into the rest of the food and ruins it.
This is me with Taco Bell's shredded lettuce. If I get a burrito, I'll know there's a piece of lettuce in it two or three bites before I get to it.
Like I love lettuce, spinach, kale, all those leafy greens. But I swear they spray it with artificial lettuce flavoring or something.
