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?

I can’t stand raw celery because it makes me lightheaded and dizzy.

Okra, regardless of how it's prepared, is absolutely disgusting. And I say this as a veggie lover

I don't think I've ever tried it, will keep in mind

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

Not exactly what you asked but while I do like fruits I don't like them in salads. I also don't like sweet and salty mixed together though there are some exceptions like pineapple in pizza.

I can understand and I'm usually like you, not liking the sweet and salty mix. But Hawaiian pizza is not for me

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.

Cooked veggies in general. I need crispness to eat them, so mostly raw or very, very lightly cooked.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Strawberries and watermelon. The flavors are terrible in any way but fresh.

  • Cherry Tomatoes. Raw I hate them. Cooked they are great.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ahhh tomatoes yes forgot about these. I love them in all forms except sun dried. Interesting that your issue is with cherry tomatoes only, can you eat regular tomatoes raw?
