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?
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.

Cheese is great on a pizza.
But:
Cheese is terrible in mac & cheese (I mean like: I hate mac & cheese)
Cheese also ruins a sandwich imo

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. -

Okra, regardless of how it's prepared, is absolutely disgusting. And I say this as a veggie lover

I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it's cooked in any form.
Raw cabbages are delicious. It's a way better green for salads than any kind of lettuce. It's crispy.

I can’t stand raw celery because it makes me lightheaded and dizzy.

Beans are good when they're not boiled or from a tin.What? Raw brussel sprouts? I haven't tried them raw, any recommendations?
Beans? You mean like green peas right? Otherwise the red kidney or black beans are mega hard if not boiled or not from a tin.

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

Ok... Do you like cheese alone? What about a cheese platter with crackers maybe?

Beans are good when they're not boiled or from a tin.Have you tried many different types of apples? I find that some have a gritty almost fuzzy texture that I can’t stand, but some other apples have a completely different texture.

Yeah well can't blame you on the celery. I also don't like it much. I can eat it but it's kinda eugh and I agree it absolutely has a taste. I also find it more bland if it's been cooked but I don't see it as an improvement.

Similarly I also prefer cabbage raw, but it's just a preference.

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.

Cherry Tomatoes. Raw I hate them. Cooked they are great.
Ahhh tomatoes yes forgot about these. I love them in all forms except sun dried. Interesting that your issue is with cherry tomatoes only, can you eat regular tomatoes raw?

I don't think I've ever tried it, will keep in mind

Not exactly what you asked but while I do like fruits I don't like them in salads. I also don't like sweet and salty mixed together though there are some exceptions like pineapple in pizza.
I can understand and I'm usually like you, not liking the sweet and salty mix. But Hawaiian pizza is not for me

Same. Raw spinach salad for days, but cook or can it and it immediately becomes one of my most hated foods.
Carrots are not as bad but I don't care for them cooked, especially when raw carrots are so tasty.

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.

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...

Yup, it can add some nice colour, but besides that there isn't much point. Thanks for the celery validation.
