I’m pretty sure I have the same thing. People look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them cucumber has a strong, awful taste. I’ve had so many people tell me “cucumber just tastes like crunchy water” but it’s SO strong to me.
Yup. I can smell a cucumber being cut across the house. Finding out I can tell sushi places to leave out the cucumber has been amazing.
It’s also in cantaloupe, honeydew, yellow squash, pumpkins to a greater or lesser degree, some acorn squash. Zucchini almost never has it and I love it lightly grilled. I’ve found it in homegrown zucchini before, but never in commercial.
I hate yellow squash even when well cooked but I think that has more to do with childhood, or maybe it has an additional something in it. I can strongly taste when other food has been cooked with squash. Can also smell that musty smell when it’s being cut that is different from cucumber/watermelon.
