I get the chicken ick often throughout the year. I can eat it grilled or slow cooked any time. Baked or stove top gives me the ick at least a third of the time. Itβs mostly a taste and texture thing.
Unrelated but I havenβt been able to eat chicken parm for 15+ years. I ate it as a school lunch (the chicken patty on spaghetti noodle kind) and threw it up during sports practice after school. I remember the awful breading taste and noodles hanging from my face mask.
Ruins food ? an event ? like what event ? I'd be quite mad any food were ruined for me
Hm, reading the comments I understand better. Fortunately I can't say I have experienced anything traumatizing enough to keep me off any food
Shrimp.
A friend pointed out to me that shrimp are basically the cockroaches of the sea. They just float around and eat fish poop all day. So gross and I can't even.
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
Plain water. One time when I was young, I got thirsty and drank a lot of water straight from the tap. Then got sick and threw it all up. Now I have a hard time drinking plain water. I can drink water with flavor, I can drink water with food.
What about bottled mineral water?
I've never liked the taste of mineral water. I can do bottled spring or purified water if it's cold, and usually ice water at restaurants.
At home, I usually drink room temperature water with True Lemon strawberry lemonade flavor.
Car sickness while eating a blueberry nutrigrain bar and now I can't eat anything with cooked blueberries. I used to love eating blueberry muffins.
Canned chicken. One time I decided to buy a can just to see if I can take a break from eating canned tuna (would have two cans of tuna as a meal)... the moment I opened the canned chicken I was like nooooooope. It smelled fkin gross.
Yeah that sounds disgusting.
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
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.
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.
Mushrooms.
Everything about them disgusts me, from the way they look, to the way they smell, the texture they have and the disgusting mouldy, dirty taste. Even seeing them growing in the ground grosses me out and I'll take a wide path around them to avoid going near them.
Outside of magic mushrooms, they have literally zero redeeming qualities. I hate them with a passion and it's basically the only food I never grew out of hating.
Same, although I tolerate a mushroom here or there now, I never select them to eat by my own choice.
I was in a cafe recently and the table next to me ordered mushroom soup, the smell nearly made me sick, I was pretty hungover that day though!
Tinned cream of mushroom soup. Used to love it as a cheap way to make a mushroom pasta or whatever when I was at uni and on a student budget. One day the texture just did not play right with me and now I often physically gag when I think about it.
lemon baked goods make me legitimately naseous (how tf u spell it???)
Nauseated
Don't say that ππ. Lemon desserts are literally my favourite category of food.
Gin, I think.
It's debatable about whether this counts for the question, but I'm commenting because this wasn't a case of "drank too much, was very sick" kind of story, which many people have about alcohol. Basically I was at a small party and I downed a shot of clear liquid that I believed to be vodka. It was not.
I didn't even know there was any gin in the house, I hadn't seen anyone drinking it. I wasn't keen on the taste of gin before, but the unexpectedness of the taste was so bad I was sick. People were concerned because they worried I was overly-drunk, but it was entirely the flavour that did it. Now, anything that tastes or smells remotely similar to gin makes me feel sick.
Though even if we are counting gin as a food here, this is very much gin not being consumed in its normal way - I have never met anyone who would choose to do a shot of neat gin.
Three bean salad, or anything with sweet vinegar sauce. That combo of vinegar taste and sickly sweetness is the single most disgusting thing Iβve 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.
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.
Oddly enough I now crave it
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.
I used to love Chilli con carne, but not anymore. One day I woke up not feeling well and we were having Chilli con carne for lunch. Despite my condition, I sat down at the table and started eating. It didn't last long. In a few minutes, I was feeling queasy and had to dash to the bathroom to throw up. Ever since then I can't look at, smell or eat a Chilli con carne dish without remembering that day.
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.
