Ask Lemmy

Cooked chicken = me fed

Raw chicken = me ded

Bananas have about a 20 min viability window for me.

Raw tomatoes are a disgusting, slimy, mealy abomination. Tomato sauce, tomato soup, and ketchup are all excellent.

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.

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

Raw celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It's also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.

Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it's not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.

Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn't even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.

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

Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.

I like pop tarts way more if they aren't toasted

Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and brussel sprouts.

I've heard "you just haven't had them done the right way" so many times, from so many people, who then make them their preferred way and they still taste like straight up dookie.

No amount of butter, or cheese, or time spent cooking under any kind of application of heat makes these things taste palatable.

Plus they all stink like farts when cooked, which just makes it worse.

Raw carrot good

Cooked carrot bad

Parsley. Absolutely disgusting

Edit: i misunderstood - for the record parsley is awful in all shapes and forms

Onions

Raw: arrgg can't stand them. Maybe if it is a sweet onion and very thinly sliced, but otherwise keep it away from me.

Sauteed: Mmmmm.... spread them over EVERYTHING!!!!!

Caramelized: Extremely inappropriate moaning noises...

Love tuna sushi. Hate hate hate canned tuna!

• Onions cept crispy fried kind
• Any thing canned
• Cꝏked vegs but SPECIALLY carrots 🤮
• Frozen pizzas save 1️⃣ brand . Always gets soggy in middle

I'm the opposite of a picky eater, I'm a goat and there are almost no foods i won't eat. Except for raw celery. Good lord is that stuff difficult to choke down. Cooked up it's great!

As a kid, I passed a strawberry jam factory each day,on my way to school. The horribly sweet smell made me abhor any processed strawberry. But fresh strawberries? Anytime.

Tuna. When I was a kid, I was sometimes fed canned tuna in sandwiches and they were vile. I always thought the person who made them put way too much mayo in (I was also off mayo for a long time) but it occurs to me now that maybe it was Miracle Whip? Anyway they were awful. My brother threw up all over the table once during such a lunch.

Anyway, as an adult I finally was brave enough to try sushi tuna, and it’s fine. If you sear it though, it tastes enough like the canned stuff that I can’t eat it. 100% raw is okay though.

Pineapple needs to be fresh. Coconut on the other hand, as awful as it is in shredded form, it turns out is actually WORSE fresh.

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.

Raw Brussel sprouts are better than boiled. I can't eat raw apples because of the texture but I love apple flavoured stuff. Beans are good when they're not boiled or from a tin.

I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it's cooked in any form.

I don't like:

• hot fruit
• crisp vegetables cooked past al dente
• salt (a little, but way less than anyone else likes)
• putting fruit in pastries or bread (my wife's caramel apple crumble pie is an exception)
• raisins in anything (especially cookies and bread)

I like fruits and vegetables, but generally speaking only in whole-form.
