I can be quite particular about the texture and temperature of the food I put into my mouth. I used to think I am wierd like that,I wonder if I will find another someone like me.
For me, I absolutely MUST eat carrots and cucumbers raw. In my mind, these are crunchy veggies, after cooking they will become spongy and rubbery which puts me off slightly. So I will not eat them like that unless I have to be real polite.
What about you? Are you a picky veggie eater like me?

I agree with you about cucumbers. They absolutely must be eaten raw! Lettuce is another one, and also avocados. I don't really even like my avocados room temperature- they need to be chilled. I like the flavor of celery in cooked dishes, but I don't like the texture of the cooked celery itself. So whenever I use celery in cooking, I chop it up really, really tiny so that you can't really notice it.

yes, i am picky about my veggie. I do not like raw carrots they have to be cooked for me to eat them. I have to have cucumbers, celery, and lettuce raw though. i put the cucumbers in a salad. i just like to eat celery with salt or will dip it in ranch dressing.

One vegetable for me that should absolutely be eaten raw is lettuce because I really love it with dressing on the side. Other than I agree that cucumber should also be eaten raw. However, sometimes recipes with cooked carrots can be really tasty like Carrot Cake or Carrot Soup so I don't think Carrots should be eaten absolutely raw. :)

I'm a vegetarian, so I like all veggies. Cucumbers I like to eat raw. Everything else I can think of right now I like either cooked or uncooked.
