What foods do you dislike eating plain but enjoy in other dishes?

[asianfreak]

There are many food items I hate eating by themselves with nothing, unless they’re part of a main dish. For example, I don’t like raw tomatoes but I love pasta pomodoro because the sauce is tomato based.

I can tolerate a small amount of cheese in some dishes. I hate it on its own.

tomato... onion

and more than anything, cheese... lol

I’m the same with raw onions. Alone, they’re harsh and overpowering, but in a slow-cooked soffritto for ragù or a Japanese curry, they melt into sweetness and depth 🧅

Olives too. I dislike them straight, yet I adore a puttanesca sauce or tapenade on grilled fish.

Anchovies are another. Not on their own, but in Caesar dressing or melted into aglio e olio, they’re magical.

Yes tomatoes too for me.
