There are some exceptions at times (like pickles), but for the most part, I hate the texture of crunchy vegetables. Particularly onions, broccoli, and cauliflower, but pretty much any veggie, is worse uncooked or undercooked imo. I hate most raw vegetables by themselves or in salads, but undercooked ones may be even worse because I was promised and expecting something cooked. Crunchy peppers or onions ruin a pizza as one example. Under-done carrots and potatoes in a curry, which I had yesterday, is another perfect example.
This may not be a universally unpopular opinion but I definitely feel like I’ve had a lot of people seem surprised by me not liking raw veggies.
Upvoting because this is the worst opinion ever. Soggy broccoli? WTF is with that? I want texture, not mush! Potatoes, cauliflower and green capsicum I can understand because their nature requires cooking. However, there is nothing better than a fresh, raw salad with crunchy veges.
10/10 terrible opinion.
Thank you for validating this as unpopular. However I think it shouldn’t be. Vegetable flavor is basically muted without at least some cooking. Even if you’re into the texture (which I very much am not), the flavor aspect should matter more, seems to me.
Not true for season fresh vegetables. Fresh carrots, straight out of the Earth are amazing and sweet. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, they are all full of flavour.
So you are just using a faulty argument to excuse your personal subjective idiosyncracy.
Uhm, I have nothing to excuse and I strongly disagree with you here. Tomatoes were never mentioned for a reason also. They’re obviously not nearly as crunchy as anything I did mention.
Also, if you think cucumbers have a lot of flavor we’re never going to agree on much. Cucumbers are the poster child for blandness.
At least your defense is good. I like veggies, cooked with seasonings, or raw, as sauce conveyance vegetables.
