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?

    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.
