Oh, I much prefer raw to cooked, if I'm just eating them as "vegetables" and not as "one of twenty ingredients in a particular cooked dish". And everything tastes better with Velveeta. Especially more Velveeta.
I have never been able to get within five feet of raw mushrooms, but I didn't mind cooked ones when I was little (especially loved 'em on Little Caesar's). Then all of a sudden I developed a superintense dislike for them -- I couldn't even eat them when they were, say, mixed in with Chinese food, or chopped up really small and in a sauce. I've gotten over it since then. So random-gathering pizzas are once again on my "can-eat" list.
Reform Jews made Jewish food delicious in large part, don't forget, because they made it American as opposed to Russian or Sloboslavian or whatever. It's difficult to cook a decent meal out of a half cup of moldy grain, dead mice, and sawdust. Although a Jewish mother will never admit to that.
