What food can or has given you the ick.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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.

Don't say that 😭😭. 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.

gin, and because of flu, ham for a long time. fortunately i can eat ham again.

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.

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.

Beeps ,

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. It’s mostly a taste and texture thing.

Unrelated but I haven’t 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.

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_am_10_squirrels ,

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.
