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 not only hate vegetables but what they do to me is just plain nasty. I can only eat peas, artichokes and sometimes corn. Oh and marmite, I can eat that stuff right out of the bottle. I eat any veg and bam I am a fart machine for hours, my stomach hurts like hell and my bowels freak out. I am almost 70 and I have yet to die from not eating veg. What I almost died from was friends and family incessantly saying “eat your vegetables” like I am 5 year old.

Do potatoes also go in your blacklist? Most veg rejectors I've known seem to be okay with that

Love spuds, no issues at all. Avocados now that I think of it as well sometimes.
