Any foods you prefer or can't stand depending on whether they are raw, fresh, pickled, cooked etc?
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?

Main one is cucumbers, after my generous neighbors in my childhood gave us 2 large paper grocery bags of cucumbers and my mother used them in everything for the next month I was done for life, can’t stand them raw, but I will eat pickles all day.
The other would be raw tomatoes, the seed slime is not good for my autistic mouth
Oh no cucumbers have a very short shelf life if you spent a month eating cucumbers from the same batch they were probably going off by the end.
I imagine my mother was chucking any that looked off or more likely cutting off the parts that were bad and using the rest.
