To be fair, some people don't like them even cooked properly.

I used not to, when I was younger and hypersensitive to bitterness.
And their actual taste is distinctive enough to be something that at
least some people will dislike.

It's the very lack of flavour which makes them uninteresting to me. I
don't dislike them, but I'd just as soon eat cotton wool.

Their flavour isn't overpowering but it's distinctive and we like it.

Any particular type of cotton wool?

Mary
