I'm also that guy. And every time I say I don't like raw tomatoes someone pipes up with "Well you just haven't had a good one."

I promise you, I have had what people call a good tomato and I still didn't like it.

Yeah it's the texture of the tomato, not the taste

White onions for me

Every single time i accidentally eat any white onion that hasnt been cooked into mush my brain immediately decides it has just eaten a cockroach and it must be ejected. For good measure better evacuate the stomach too

Tomatoes actually make me want to vomit. Peppers aren't as bad (especially spicy ones because the spice helps cover up the texture), and I will happily eat salsa, tomato sauce, ketchup, catsup (I swear catsup and ketchup taste slightly different), and basically anything with tomatoes so long as they're small and consistent enough. However, the texture of raw tomatoes? Eugh. Cherry tomatoes are worse. They pop in your mouth like eyeballs. Ew.

Wow I don't know this is common enough for memes I thought it's just me lol

It is the texture.

Tomatoes have the texture of a rotting apple filled with snot.

The taste might be amazing, but the texture is horrific. It only works if the texture is completely gone, like when mixed in a sauce or other foods.

I felt this way until the first time I had a tomato that had never been refrigerated. Turns out that the enzymes that make tomatos taste good denatures at fridge temps, and makes them taste like grainy mush. If you ever get a chance to try a fresh tomato, I can't guarantee you'll like it but I can guarantee it's a significantly different taste and texture than the cold ruined tomatoes you find at a grocery store

Consistency in both meanings of the word?

Oral allergy syndrome moment (allergy to proteins in certain fruits/vegetables due to similarity to other more common allergens like trees/grasses, thus meaning you cant eat them raw but you can eat them cooked)

The one constant in all those sauces in the meme, other than tomato paste, is sugar. With enough sugar, almost anything is edible if nit downright tasty. Looking at you rhubarb.

I can't eat raw tomatoes because the gooey inside makes me barf. Yes I am a child about it. I can eat tomatoes prepared any other way, I especially like sun-dried.

Certain beans, too, for me. Mainly the really meaty ones. I like the taste, but once I bite in and that texture hits my tongue, I can't do it. I have tried so many times.

What's really weird to me is that I don't hate bean paste. Like, you offer me a snack with red bean paste? I'm all over it. Not even a second thought.

it's not about the taste, it's about the consistency

I also have a similar inconsistency with carrots, raw they're fine, baked they're fine too. But when it's cooked it tastes awful.

If it isn't processed and full with sugar, I can't eat it

Hey, that second array is the whole diet of someone I knew in university who "hated sauce".

Well now I know your guy's weakness

My friend calls them "tainted water." I love them though, I mean I have Italian ancestry so I think it's like a law or something that I need to love them.

i hate lemon. lemon baked goods remind me of puke
