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.
… That seems like an atypical response to celery? Are you allergic to something in it that breaks down with heat?
I’ve never been able to find an answer on this. It’s strange because as I’ve gotten older I realize celery that is only partially cooked is usually okay.
I have had spontaneous allergic reactions to vegetables though. When I was about three I used to sneak into my parents’ garden and eat all the cherry tomatoes and end up with a rash. For a while I was allergic to strawberries too. It always goes away with time—my most recent case was eating too many tomatoes about two years ago.
