You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.
Well I’ve gotten that with coffee and pomegranate molasses too, what foods have done that for you?
And bonus, anybody know why that happens?
Also the ick isnt just getting bored of smth after a while, it’s one event that ruins that food for you. Also can’t be a food you are having for the first time. Ideally if it is being consumed in a normal way and its not the preparation of the food that ruins it.
Orange soda.
With my third baby, she did not want to come out (in stark contrast to her sisters, who all seemed to want to give me about one hour of advance notice before getting born) and the midwife said, before trying induction, try castor oil, sometimes it will kick the labor on. Not a spoonful, no. A whole bunch. And don’t puke it out. I chased it with orange soda because I liked it but figured I could certainly manage without it.
Oh God. I couldn’t even look at orange soda without nausea for several years. And it didn’t even work, I still had to get induced!
I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick
Can’t believe you’re missing out on apple juice. It is heavenly
Peanut butter smells bad. Peanut butter smells like mouse traps.
No one else could set them (disabled, or cried about it) so it was all on me
Can’t stand the smell of peanut butter now
I knew pb was used in roach traps, didn’t know its also used for mice. Thats cool
It’s the easiest thing to use, as it clings to the snap traps. Other items can fall out.
Sometimes they manage to lick the traps clean without them going off. One day, a better mouse trap…
My parents took me to an Italian restaurant when I was a child, and the smell of olive oil was so overpowering I couldn’t get in. Still have trouble with olive oil to this day, maybe 15 years later
This is not an answer I had expected
Canned tuna. Childhood daycare food. Both my brother and I can’t stand it. It never made me vomit but it was a real challenge to get down, and I think he threw up from it once. I’m not sure what she did to make it so vile but there was a lot of mayo too and I couldn’t handle mayo for a very long time.
I have a coworker who has a fish lunch every week. Our break room is an old fireproof storage area with one way out for air to go. I normally like fish but fish without consent…
Have you tried cans of tuna with oil in them? I bought a can with water in it once and had to throw it out, but I love tuna in oil
Honestly, it has never occurred to me to try any canned fish. I don’t even like seared ahi. As soon as it’s cooked at all, it tastes like the nasty childhood tuna. Fully raw sushi tuna is okay though, thankfully.
Sardines are great and don’t taste like tuna. The best canned fish imo.
American cheese, because I threw up once as a kid after I ate some. Honestly no big loss, I wouldn’t eat American cheese now even if I’d never thrown it up because it’s a trash cheese.
Also, any meat where I can tell what it once was. I don’t want to eat anything off of a bone, or anything’s skin, or god forbid a fish is served whole. Growing up we used to have whitefish sometimes on the weekend and no fucking thank you.
You have definitely been called a picky eater by your parents haven’t you.
Ha, actually no! But that’s because my sister was wayyy pickier than me. Her diet primarily consisted of hamsteak & oodles of noodles for a long time.
Went to a party once and ate a bunch of nacho cheese doritos among other things. Ended up getting sick from some undercooked cookies and I could taste the doritos when I threw up. Now I get queasy just thinking about them
Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.
Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.
The body remembers.
Now that is understandable
Only good I know for a fact I couldn’t eat was McDonald’s. Got food poisoning when I was 14 and wouldn’t touch it for like 10 years. Then I was craving a big Mac one day and I’ve been back on since haha
Sugar-roasted almonds. I was given a bad recipe to slowly cook the unpeeled almonds in sugar water until everything is dry. After a few bites the almonds tasted bitter and it took me some time to get that awful taste out of my mouth. Since then I can’t stand them.
Did the sugar burn?
No it was definitely some bitter almond taste. I’m familiar with burnt sugar taste from my experiments with popcorn and nuts :)
Three bean salad, or anything with sweet vinegar sauce. That combo of vinegar taste and sickly sweetness is the single most disgusting thing I’ve tried. I can stomach most of the foods I dislike, but three bean salad will literally make me gag if I try to put it in my mouth.
Oddly enough I now crave it
What horrible person invented that recipe?! Every time I look at a jar of the stuff I am captivated by all the delicious beans and vegetables until I recall that aweful disgusting sugar coated saccharine syrup flavor. It was an aweful experience. I would even have liked it if the liquid was pure vinegar, but no, it had to be cloying.
Sweet potato fries. Or overly orange fries for any reason (sometimes the frying just seems to make them orange, especially curly fries?).
Was youngish, friend took me out to lunch and I had a meatball sub with sweet potato fries. Yum yum. Until, of course, 3am the next morning when all that came up and was orange and potato-y. I refuse to try them again to this day. Although I love sweet potatoes, lol, just not sp fries.
This doesn’t fit the question at all, but I like to eat chicken and stars when I’m sick. They mostly taste like chicken flavored salt and taste exactly the same on the way back up.
Blueberries.
My family has never been financially in a good place, but especially when I was still very young. From what I understood my grandmother had a friend who owned a blueberry farm, and one day my mother brought home a giant thing chock full of blueberries. Deal was we could wash, package, and freeze them. Then we could have blueberries all year.
We went to work, though my help at that age was largely superficial, but we filled most of our freezer and all of a rolling cooler which was going to my grandparents. All washed in the colander and packaged in ziploc.
The other thing my parents would do was make enough dinner for the whole week. They both worked, my dad had 3 jobs at somepoint, and I often went with my mom to hers. So when we all got home it was easy to just nuke whatever had been made rather than make it then.
This week’s dinner was mac’n’cheese and hot dogs, yum right! Except no, my mother forgot to wash out the colander and it was all blueberry flavored. One week of blueberry flavored mac’n’cheese was enough for me to grow a healthy distaste for blueberries.
Cream soda. I had a plastic dinosaur shaped cup to drink from one summer and was required to keep it the entire time. I drank a 2 liter of cream soda over a couple days then every single other thing I drank from it tasted like cream soda. Water, milk, other soda. For a whole summer. I don’t drink cream soda now. Weirdly enough, my brother, another dinosaur cup haver from that summer, loves cream soda.
I NEED these dino cups
