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?
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...

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

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.
Last August my family went to Maui and on our last day we toured the Maui Pineapple farm.
OMG... I didn't know that was how pineapple was supposed to taste. It is NOTHING like what we get here in Wisconsin.

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.
I mean peas, yes.
Brussel sprouts are even better cut in half and slightly seared on a pan. -
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.
I have and I can't stand any of them. Probably related to my autism.

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

I can’t stand raw celery because it makes me lightheaded and dizzy.
...... That seems like an atypical response to celery? Are you allergic to something in it that breaks down with heat?

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.
Celery is used as a flavouring. People who say it doesn't taste of anything probably had Covid or something...

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

The goo inside of a tomato reminds me of chunky snot. I enjoy a good tomato flavor, even raw.

Strawberries and watermelon. The flavors are terrible in any way but fresh.

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

Cooked veggies in general. I need crispness to eat them, so mostly raw or very, very lightly cooked.

Ditto. Can’t stand fresh tomato’s, makes me puke (literally). Any other way (cooked, etc) is perfectly fine.

I’ve never been able to find an answer on this. It’s strange because as I’ve gotten older I realize celery that is only partially cooked is usually okay.
I have had spontaneous allergic reactions to vegetables though. When I was about three I used to sneak into my parents’ garden and eat all the cherry tomatoes and end up with a rash. For a while I was allergic to strawberries too. It always goes away with time—my most recent case was eating too many tomatoes about two years ago.

Yeah, sensory issues do be like that.
