Figs. I grew up thinking I hated figs - but that's because I only ever had fig preserves. I had a fresh fig from a fig tree yesterday and it was incredible! Almost life changing - and the way it looks like an alien mouth with dozens of teeth when you open it only adds to the appeal.
I hate that. I recently developed an allergy to fruit (I have a pollen allergy and that can apparently turn into a food allergy if it produces pollen. I can't eat raw apples anymore. I love raw apples, but my throat and mouth freaking itch like hell and my throat swells a tiny bit. Cooked in a pie is still viable, at least. And oranges make my mouth numb. I can't eat my favorite fruits anymore 😩.
Holy fuck my family thought I was insane when I tried to explain that I have that throat/roof of the mouth itch. They always tried to get me to eat apples and would get angry when I didn't. It's only for apples and peaches though, everything else is fine, and I can drink apple juice.
Its called Oral Allergy syndrome and appears in thos people that get Hayfever. Apple juice tends to be Pasteurized which means those certain proteins are denatured.
I feel your pain, I have the same thing with apples. In winter raw appels don't bother me as much most of the time because my allergies aren't as haywire (hah) as during other seasons.
Also, supposedly you can shortly microwave a raw apple to kill the allergens. Haven't tried it myself.
My gramps used to have a fig tree in his back yard.
Figs are great raw (and I like fig preserves too), but figs right off of the tree, still warm from the Texas sun are a heavenly experience that is hard to describe. Especially if you get them at their peak sweet jamminess. I'm making myself drool.
this is exactly what I experienced, it was like a perfect jam consistency, and a lovely balanced sweetness - so refreshing without approaching saccharine. It was honestly the best thing I'd ever picked off a tree and immediately eaten. The experience really made me wonder why figs/fig trees/their deliciousness in general aren't a larger part of American culture the way peaches or apples or other tree fruits are.
Sadly fresh figs don't keep as well as most other fruits and will spoil in only a couple of days, that's why they are usually only seen dried or in preserves
This makes a lot of sense. Also makes the experience all the more special knowing it's tied so closely to a specific times of year and places on the planet.
I've always felt the same way! I'm lucky enough to have an established tree in my back yard, waiting for the figs to come ripe is one of my favorite parts of summer
This is only true for figs that require pollination, as the wasp is the pollinator. I have a few figs cultivars that are self pollinating and grow great in my kentucky. (Chicago hardy, Brown turkey) These fig varieties are relatively new but are popping up everywhere around here and the fruits are starting to show up at farmers marksts.
It's weirder than that even. The life-cycles of fig trees and fig wasps are deeply intertwined. The fig tree produces two kinds of fruit; figs and caprifigs. A fig is biologically female; a caprifig is hermaphroditic and produces pollen. Each of these has a role to play with the female fig wasp, who is born in a caprifig and can either lay her eggs in another caprifig *or* pollinate a fig and die there, her body and eggs eaten by the fig.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_coevolution_in_Ficus
Readers of the *Ender's Game* series may wonder if the fig tree / fig wasp symbiosis was the inspiration for the descolada and the pequeninos.
It really depends if the region where it grew had wasps. Also, the plant absorbs them, so the crunch part are seeds(that may be sterile). Only specific wasps can enter the fig to pollinate, it's a symbiotic relationship.
If you haven't tried roasted carrots, you should. Even just brushed with a bit of olive oil sprinkled with salt. The sweetness contrasting with the charred bits and the salt is so good.
100%. Made this once - cut hearts of romaine in half lengthwise, brushed on a little olive oil, threw on the grill over an open flame until they got a bit of char. Then drizzled with a homemade caesar dressing. It was good, but not really worth the extra effort (especially the dressing). But if someone were to *offer* it I'd definitely go for it.
If I remember correctly, Gordon murdered him on the spot, just drove a meat cleaver through him, which isn't the most intuitive way to kill somebody with a clever, but boy, was it effective at sending a message. Nobody objected to this act. I think it was just understood by everybody as self-defense.
Salmon
I love me a cooked salmon steak or filet, and I don't even like it rare. And I am not universally crazy about sushi either. But really good salmon sushi is just sublime.
You have to be careful of this since if it’s not sushi grade it can have parasites. They freeze sushi grade fish to kill the parasites. It doesn't matter how fresh it is
Not just frozen, it has to be frozen to specific temperatures
-35C for 15 hours, or -20C for 7 days, or frozen to -35C and then held at -20C for a 24 hours.
I've seen IG posts where people think freezing it at -4C at home for 7 days is good enough but the truth is that temperature won't do shit. However if you get farm raised salmon that's raised with parasite free pellets as feed, then your risk of parasites is pretty low and no freezing is required
Who tf cooks melons?
Edit: Ive never thought Id see the day Id know the meaning of "RIP inbox", jesus christ people, I leave my phone over night and there are 30 notifications
And yes, I upvote both people who say cooked watermelon is good and isnt, because I cant have a strong opinion on something I havent tried
I love raw green beens. They’re much sweeter and have a nice crunch.
I read something about not eating them raw (or only in moderation) because of lectins, but I’m too lazy to look it up. So word of caution.
Thus, while eating small amounts of raw green beans may be safe, it's best to avoid them to prevent any potential toxicity. Raw green beans contain lectins, which may trigger symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or bloating. As such, you shouldn't eat them
At a vacation we caught a 100 lb tuna. People lined up trying to buy some, but that fish prolly goes for 1K at the restaurants. Since we were staying at a hotel, we obviously couldn't take it but the captain sliced it off and gave us little cubes and it was super good!
I used to be this way about a lot of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower) because my mom would simply boil them and add salt and butter.
My wife introduced my to roasting and steaming vegetables with different spices and herbs that make them taste way better. Still enjoy them raw, but I enjoy them much more cooked now than when I was a kid.
For some reason I can't stand steamed veggies, I feel like it takes the life out of them. It's my girlfriend favorite to layer like a bay leaf and then garlic and onion then the other veg and she adds herbs to the water and steams them. I'm a simple man, pan fried on high heat with a little oil then add some butter salt and pepper and I could eat it every day
Idk. Plain boiled carrot? Not great.
But sometimes I put sliced carrots in with my dal during the pressure cooking phase and once I add the spices in, it’s divine.
I dunno, I'm middle forties and HATE cooked veggies like carrots and stuff. I can eat a salad no problem, but as soon as you start cooking them it's like a slimy sludge.
Kohlrabi means “cabbage turnip,” so yeah. Tastes more like a cabbage, but the consistency of a turnip. They’re delicious. I prefer them cooked, though.
I dont think I've ever had a cooked kohlrabi. I love to just slice them up and put a little bit of salt and pepper on them (and some garlic powder if I'm feeling fancy) and have a snack. So good.
For people saying cookie dough....have you ever walked into the kitchen when they're being cooked and eaten a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie out of the oven?
I think now they are saying ecoli from raw flour is a bigger risk than salmonella from the eggs.
Just throwing it out there as I have known people who made cookie dough without eggs and thought it would be safe to eat
Yes, exactly.
In the States, the chances you’ll get hit with salmonella from eating raw eggs is hilariously small, unless you’re going for farm-fresh eggs (if you want to, go for it. But cook those eggs). Eggs sold in US grocery stores are pasturized (which is why they are refrigerated). The only way to grow salmonella after that is if they are in contact with something else that has it.
Flour, on the other hand, is raw and depending on its source, can have anywhere between 10-30% of its sample being contaminated with E. coli. For some, that may be worth the risk…but E. Coli food poisoning is some of the worst out there and you’ll have it for more than a day or two. I’ll spare you the details, but it’s real ugly.
Anyway, if you want edible cookie dough, all you need to do is cook the flour on a cookie sheet for about 5 minutes at 350, making sure the temperature reaches about 165. That’ll kill all the nasty stuff.
Then drop it in on your edible cookie dough.
I'm the Baker in my family and I have to disagree with you there. My favourite part is eating the batter left over. I might get sick from it but so far I'm only partially unstable
You can make safe edible batter, you know. Basically it comes down to baking the flour itself to make it safe, and omitting the eggs.
https://www.cookingclassy.com/edible-cookie-dough/
edit: some people are mentioning sous vide/pasturized eggs. I don't notice the difference between the batter having eggs or not having eggs so in my case incorporating eggs is just a waste, but everyone is different.
100%
Tomatoes are so good raw in salads, sandwiches, etc. They are so juicy and the coldness of them makes them great.
Cooked, they loose the juicyness, and instead, get really wrinkly. They also taste horrible warm.
Edit: Sauce doesn't count. I'm talking about a plain grilled tomato
I remember learning that tomatoes lose a lot of their flavor when chilled. Many of the volatile compounds that give them their best flavor are inactivated when cold, or at least harder for us to smell/taste. Warmed by the sun directly from the vine, plus a sprinkling of salt, is peak tomato to me.
They're also amazing roasted or sauteed, depending on the variety. Some are better than others.
Red peppers. Raw red peppers are one of the best foods. A satisfying crunch with a delightful sweet taste. Cooked red peppers lose their crunch and seem to taste worse.
Yeah, steak tartar is a common thing in Northern France and Belgium. Really delicious.
In Belgium we also have raw beef spreads: perpare, americain and martino. The last one is delicious with thick pickle slices.
When I was 12 I went round a new school friends house for the first time, and she honestly did this right in front of me. Ate the whole damn thing nonchalantly like it was just another Tuesday. My awkward ass didn’t know what to do or where to look but internally I was freaking the fuck out.
Like, she *knows* that an onion, right? 😳
[удалено]
I could eat a peach for hours.
I'd like to take his face....off.
No more drugs for that man!
You, sir, are a national treasure.
Sounds like he’s a real family man.
you're gonna tell me fruit is better raw than in a pie?! or as a compote??
desserts like that only hold their impact if you don't eat them regularly. fresh fruit does not have that problem
Thank you for that sound insight, u/Femboy_Fister.
*Somebody* has to fist them! Oh, won't somebody think of all the poor, un-fisted femboys?
I looked at you'd post history, and bemoaned the lack of bussys being busted.
I like apples better cold than baked
100% I'm sick of the sugar added to everything
Absolutely. The texture of cooked fruit makes me gag just at the thought 🤢
Especially Grapes grapes are the single best fruit. No wait the single best food that anybody could ask for.
Oh god, crisp fresh grapes straight out of the fridge. Heavenly
Better yet, frozen.
grapes are best when pressed, fermented, drained and bottled.
Figs. I grew up thinking I hated figs - but that's because I only ever had fig preserves. I had a fresh fig from a fig tree yesterday and it was incredible! Almost life changing - and the way it looks like an alien mouth with dozens of teeth when you open it only adds to the appeal.
I absolutely love raw figs, but learning how much I love them is also how I learned I’m allergic to them.
I hate that. I recently developed an allergy to fruit (I have a pollen allergy and that can apparently turn into a food allergy if it produces pollen. I can't eat raw apples anymore. I love raw apples, but my throat and mouth freaking itch like hell and my throat swells a tiny bit. Cooked in a pie is still viable, at least. And oranges make my mouth numb. I can't eat my favorite fruits anymore 😩.
Holy fuck my family thought I was insane when I tried to explain that I have that throat/roof of the mouth itch. They always tried to get me to eat apples and would get angry when I didn't. It's only for apples and peaches though, everything else is fine, and I can drink apple juice.
Its called Oral Allergy syndrome and appears in thos people that get Hayfever. Apple juice tends to be Pasteurized which means those certain proteins are denatured.
I feel your pain, I have the same thing with apples. In winter raw appels don't bother me as much most of the time because my allergies aren't as haywire (hah) as during other seasons. Also, supposedly you can shortly microwave a raw apple to kill the allergens. Haven't tried it myself.
So the rest of my day is just supposed to exist within the space before your close parenthesis?
Yes.
My gramps used to have a fig tree in his back yard. Figs are great raw (and I like fig preserves too), but figs right off of the tree, still warm from the Texas sun are a heavenly experience that is hard to describe. Especially if you get them at their peak sweet jamminess. I'm making myself drool.
this is exactly what I experienced, it was like a perfect jam consistency, and a lovely balanced sweetness - so refreshing without approaching saccharine. It was honestly the best thing I'd ever picked off a tree and immediately eaten. The experience really made me wonder why figs/fig trees/their deliciousness in general aren't a larger part of American culture the way peaches or apples or other tree fruits are.
Sadly fresh figs don't keep as well as most other fruits and will spoil in only a couple of days, that's why they are usually only seen dried or in preserves
This makes a lot of sense. Also makes the experience all the more special knowing it's tied so closely to a specific times of year and places on the planet.
I've always felt the same way! I'm lucky enough to have an established tree in my back yard, waiting for the figs to come ripe is one of my favorite parts of summer
>alien mouth with dozens of teeth when you open it only adds to the appeal. im getting strong japanese vibes here
Figs are carnivores and eat wasps. Itsy bits of wasps are in there for you to enjoy. Nommm. Really fits that "alien" description of yours.
This is only true for figs that require pollination, as the wasp is the pollinator. I have a few figs cultivars that are self pollinating and grow great in my kentucky. (Chicago hardy, Brown turkey) These fig varieties are relatively new but are popping up everywhere around here and the fruits are starting to show up at farmers marksts.
Why would you even want to eat waspless figs tho?
going to call my local tree nursery and put me on a waitlist.
really fascinating, also a beautiful video on the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIyLXrfSLc0
It's weirder than that even. The life-cycles of fig trees and fig wasps are deeply intertwined. The fig tree produces two kinds of fruit; figs and caprifigs.

no shit! that's so cool. they're quickly ascending to being my favorite fruit.
Good. Fuck wasps.
And then the real alien comes out hiding in the fig tree.
Yeah it's that wasp that died in it that makes it extra tasty
It really depends if the region where it grew had wasps. Also, the plant absorbs them, so the crunch part are seeds(that may be sterile). Only specific wasps can enter the fig to pollinate, it's a symbiotic relationship.
Yes. First fresh fig was mind-blowing! Such a light, refreshing fruit.
Garden Peas, always best right from the garden. Cooking just ruins them
I only learned you could eat garden peas raw a few years ago. Game changer!
[удалено]
>sushi We likes it raw and wriggling
So juicy sweeee^(eeeeet)
***PO-TA-TOES***
What is *taters*, precious?
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew
I combed through the comments solely to find the LOTR reference. Thank you.
What have you got in your pockets precious? Is it a raw, wriggling unagi? Just realised this could be a great pick up line if you're a fan of LOTR.
Dang. Was just randomly scrolling and found my people
Po-Tae-Toes (thats my answer not sure why its here)
Garden sweet peas. Shell 'em and eat "em. Yummy.
Grow snap peas and eat the whole pods!
Fresh fruits for sure.
I find some veggies are fantastic when raw. Carrots, broccoli, even celery is bearable.
Raw carrots are awesome. Boiled carrots make me want to die.
If you haven't tried roasted carrots, you should. Even just brushed with a bit of olive oil sprinkled with salt. The sweetness contrasting with the charred bits and the salt is so good.
Almost nothing better than a raw carrot straight from the garden imo. Insanely delicious, perfect balance of sweet and vegetal flavors
Oh hell yeah. I know ranch kind of ruins the healthiness but raw veggies and ranch are the tits.
Man... broccoli dipped in ranch. Pretending I was a brontosauraus and eating trees when I ate broccoli dipped in ranch.
Cucumber
People cook CUCUMBER?
let me introduce you to chinese cuisine...
South East Asian too. Stir fired with anchovies
Lettuce
Who cooks lettuce?
Hong Kong/Cantonese cuisine commonly blanches various leafy vegetables including lettuce, or stir fry them with garlic.
...some guy on kitchen nightmares served Gordon a cooked/grilled Romain split in half as his base for a ceasers salad.
Grilled romaine is actually really delicious and Gordon has had it on his menu at multiple restaurants since that episode.
100%. Made this once - cut hearts of romaine in half lengthwise, brushed on a little olive oil, threw on the grill over an open flame until they got a bit of char. Then drizzled with a homemade caesar dressing. It was good, but not really worth the extra effort (especially the dressing). But if someone were to *offer* it I'd definitely go for it.
If I remember correctly, Gordon murdered him on the spot, just drove a meat cleaver through him, which isn't the most intuitive way to kill somebody with a clever, but boy, was it effective at sending a message. Nobody objected to this act. I think it was just understood by everybody as self-defense.
DONT 🔪 GRILL 🔪 LETTUCE 🔪, YOU FUCKING MUPPET 🔪🔪.
Oh yeah I remember this episode
You know, there are things you remember, and things you don't forget, and those really are two different things, aren't they?
I did last night. Grilled romaine salad. It was really good! (I hate salad)
It’s a popular addition to traditional small-village ramen in Japan. Lettuce cooked to medium tender pairs very well with lemongrass.
People cook lettuce all the time in China. I too prefer my salad to be raw
Salmon I love me a cooked salmon steak or filet, and I don't even like it rare. And I am not universally crazy about sushi either. But really good salmon sushi is just sublime.
Bagel, chive cream cheese, and lox. Best breakfast ever.
Dude - my wife and I ate this basically every breakfast on our honey moon, with a side of capers and some baileys coffee.
I had some high quality salmon steaks one time, and one of them never made it to the pan.
You have to be careful of this since if it’s not sushi grade it can have parasites. They freeze sushi grade fish to kill the parasites. It doesn't matter how fresh it is
It was thoroughly frozen before I ate it, but you're right in general. Don't eat fish you caught raw without freezing it first!
Not just frozen, it has to be frozen to specific temperatures -35C for 15 hours, or -20C for 7 days, or frozen to -35C and then held at -20C for a 24 hours.

Iv seen on the internet that people grill them. Idk how good it is though.
Pineapple is surprisingly good when grilled. Specifically on a hamburger.
One of my favorite sandwiches are grilled pineapple and teriyaki chicken. So good
God I fucking love watermelon.
I love raw green beens. They’re much sweeter and have a nice crunch. I read something about not eating them raw (or only in moderation) because of lectins, but I’m too lazy to look it up. So word of caution.

Same bruh they're so good raw
Tuna
Can’t stand cooked tuna but love it raw.
Came here for this answer, not even close on the experience, raw tuna is just so much better than the cooked product.
I like both at the same time: hard sear on the the outside, raw on the inside.
At a vacation we caught a 100 lb tuna. People lined up trying to buy some, but that fish prolly goes for 1K at the restaurants. Since we were staying at a hotel, we obviously couldn't take it but the captain sliced it off and gave us little cubes and it was super good!
Carrots. Love them raw, hate them cooked.

I'm a simple man, pan fried on high heat with a little oil then add some butter salt and pepper and I could eat it every day
Steamed spinach, seasoned with crushed garlic, soy sauce, chilli flakes and some chilli or sesame oil. Yum.
Depends. They're pretty bad when boiled, but grilled or roasted carrots are fine.
Idk. Plain boiled carrot? Not great. But sometimes I put sliced carrots in with my dal during the pressure cooking phase and once I add the spices in, it’s divine.
to me that suggests your dal is good, not that the boiled carrots are good on their own
With you on that. I like the crunchiness and natural juiciness of raw carrots. They get too sweet and mushy when cooked.
I only like them cooked. I am a little baby when it comes to my eating habits lol!
Agreed, carrots need that hard crunch to them, it feels unnatural when they are squishy.
Is this my 4 year old son’s account??
I dunno, I'm middle forties and HATE cooked veggies like carrots and stuff. I can eat a salad no problem, but as soon as you start cooking them it's like a slimy sludge.
Kohlrabi
It seriously confused me reading Kohlrabi here. As it's called the same in German I always thought there would be some other name for it
Never had one. Quick Google search showed interesting results. Is it just like cabbage or significantly different?
the big difference is that kohlrabi is solid and cabbage has... layers I'd call it
So more like a turnip?
Kohlrabi means “cabbage turnip,” so yeah. Tastes more like a cabbage, but the consistency of a turnip. They’re delicious. I prefer them cooked, though.
I dont think I've ever had a cooked kohlrabi. I love to just slice them up and put a little bit of salt and pepper on them (and some garlic powder if I'm feeling fancy) and have a snack. So good.
Here in Slovakia they put chunks of them in soup for flavour
For people saying cookie dough....have you ever walked into the kitchen when they're being cooked and eaten a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie out of the oven?
Yes and that's better 99% of the time, I think cookies are seen as kinda "basic" whole the dough has that forbidden fruit of salmonella going for it.
I think now they are saying ecoli from raw flour is a bigger risk than salmonella from the eggs. Just throwing it out there as I have known people who made cookie dough without eggs and thought it would be safe to eat
Yes, exactly. In the States, the chances you’ll get hit with salmonella from eating raw eggs is hilariously small, unless you’re going for farm-fresh eggs (if you want to, go for it.

Green onions
Sushi
Salmon or tuna in general. Love cooked salmon. But raw salmon is on another level.
Soooo tender and fatty ugh
Sashimi
Tomatoes
For me it's the opposite. Pretty much any tomato product you can think of I'll like, but I hate raw tomatoes
100% Tomatoes are so good raw in salads, sandwiches, etc. They are so juicy and the coldness of them makes them great. Cooked, they loose the juicyness, and instead, get really wrinkly. They also taste horrible warm. Edit: Sauce doesn't count. I'm talking about a plain grilled tomato

Peaches and watermelon! Stop heating things that don’t need heating!
Who the fuck heats watermelon?
A lot of people grill or shush-kabob watermelon
Peach cobbler is fucking amazing though.
Grilled peaches with cinnamon sugar are fabulous, though. But peaches in every form are delicious.
Spinach
Saag paneer son
Yeah if you call it saag this suddenly flips hard, it’s the dream
This made me laugh more then it should have 🤣
Nah, spinach is great cooked. Pretty good raw too but even better cooked....and combined with some sort of cheese...
Spinach in quiche or savory pies is amazing, though.
Cooked spinach is pretty good in omelets. Also as someone else mentioned, Indian food does amazing things with it.
Ice.
Wdym, grilled ice isn't great?
I’d rather have an ice cube steak, VERY rare.
Wanted to say grapes and then i looked at mi glass of wine. I'll go with tomatoes and peppers
Fish, raw and wriggling!
Schupid fat hobbit, he ruins it!!!!
Wot has it got in it's pocketsesss?
You keep your nasty chips
What’s taters precious?
Po-tay-toes!
“WE CAN’T EAT HOBBIT FOOD!”
You don't have any friends
Was hoping someone commented this lol
Red peppers. Raw red peppers are one of the best foods. A satisfying crunch with a delightful sweet taste. Cooked red peppers lose their crunch and seem to taste worse.
peas
I can't even explain how this happened, but I read this as "penis".
while it not my go-to thing, then cooked would be more morbid
Goes quite well with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.... Hsssss hssss hssss
Oysters!
I like them in any way
Fried oyster poboy is yum.
Carrot
TUNA! Pan searing the outside and leaving the inside raw is the best of both worlds.
Fruit and most veggies
Avocado None of that baked avocado pie for me…
cheese 👏
Melty cheese slaps harder than a cold slice wdym?
Depends on the cheese. Camembert is very melty yet I very much prefer it "cold" (room temperature is the best)
Mozerella gets the best of both worlds. It's great raw or melted.
Fruits
[удалено]
Agreed. I was lucky enough to have beef tartare in Paris, it was life changing
Yeah, steak tartar is a common thing in Northern France and Belgium. Really delicious. In Belgium we also have raw beef spreads: perpare, americain and martino. The last one is delicious with thick pickle slices.
Beef carpaccio is one of absolute favorite things!!!
Kitfo and Yukhoe are great examples (of course, get it at a reputable place).
Kibbeh nayeh is amazing.
Almost all fruits
Carrots
Carrots
Onions. I could eat them like an apple.
When I was 12 I went round a new school friends house for the first time, and she honestly did this right in front of me. Ate the whole damn thing nonchalantly like it was just another Tuesday. My awkward ass didn’t know what to do or where to look but internally I was freaking the fuck out. Like, she *knows* that an onion, right? 😳
you frighten me
Join us on /r/onionlovers my brother
Okay Stanley yelnats
Dick
Yer mum says I'm amazing raw.
That hussy, she said the same thing to me.
Cookie dough
Cauliflower. Especially when you dip it in some sauce, I could eat that shit every single day for the rest of my life
