unrelished

Accepted without enjoyment

Unrelished describes something not enjoyed or savored—received without pleasure or appreciation.

Food may go unrelished by a sick patient with no appetite.

More often the word applies to experiences or duties: The unrelished task of firing employees fell to him.

The word suggests something endured rather than embraced.
