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’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
