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?
Hmm. Only thing I’ve found is I don’t like hot lettuce (so on a hot sandwich where it also gets hot). My husband hates raw tomatoes but loves everything they become. Sibling hates raw onions but likes them soft and cooked into soups and the like.
Fair fair. Yeah I’m not a fan of soggy lettuce, I can tolerate it now but as a kid I was adamant on not having it as part of my toastie or, even better, add it after toasting.
