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 could never stand raw tomatoes as a kid and, for the most part, I still hate them. Most sorts of cooked tomatoes are fine. I can tolerate the shitty fast food tomatoes that are just the solid bits and are nearly flavorless, but I still don’t like them.

    I used to hate raw tomatoes too until I followed Alton Brown's advice: only buy tomatoes in season and then only from road-side stands.

    Turns out, he was right and I love tomatoes! AndI never buy any from the grocery store.
