Food and drink

Have you ever had to much of something (food or drink) and realized it’s not what you thought it was, even though it was something you always had? :eek:

Let me explain.
Iced tea…Normal, right?
I had an instance where I drank iced tea almost all the time.
One day as I was drinking it and realized it wasn’t juice. (I know, I know)
Now, I realize that Ice tea is not juice, but for some reason, at that particular time, it bothered me greatly. I couldn’t drink any kind of tea for almost 2 years!

For the past 3 days, I have been eating Chinese and Japanese food like crazy.
Yesterday, I was at a Chinese buffet. I was so hungry when I got there. I was just piling food onto my plate without reading what it was. (Things usually look like what they are, at least most of the time.)
I sat down at my table and started to eat. I was looking at my plate, because the chicken didn’t look like chicken anymore. I started moving it around with my fork and realized it was TRIPE. :frowning:
OMG, I thought I was going to die.
What a waste! Not only could not finish what was on my plate, (my first plate at a buffet, never the less) but the thought of Chinese or Japanese food makes me gag.

(I figured I was the only nut, but I had to ask)
:smiley:

I told you you’re the only nut. :slight_smile:

You must love me, or something! :smiley:

Or something… :rolleyes:

:wink:

Ahhh…newlyweds.

You lost me at you thought tea was juice… ???..???

ummm…

well ok, I have to admit this one…
I used to love clam chowder until I was 7 years old and found out what clams were… and then I couln’t eat it anymore…
Still to this day I remember the disgust I had when I thought about it back then, and now I have a taste aversion to it.

kinda sad, because I remember I liked the taste, but thinking about it makes me feel sick…

If you’re not gonna finish your tripe, kin I have it?

I always like to know what it is I’m eating. I’m curious that way. I think if I tried something and liked it, and then found out it was something gross, I’d still eat it. But if I found out it was something I objected to for other reasons, then I wouldn’t eat it anymore. Like if dogs were harmed in the making of the dish. I couldn’t do that. If I found out something I liked had veal in it, I likewise wouldn’t eat it anymore, since I never touch veal, strictly for guilt reasons.

Two words

“Squid Rings”

There should be some kind of law about making them look different from Onion Rings.

yuck.

Well, my host mother in Spain had served rabbit several times before I figured out what it was. (Hmm, I’ve never seen that chicken bone before…) Can’t say it really bothered me one way or another, though.

hmmmmm.:wink:

At least it wasn’t head cheese.

Yes, I’d hate to reach for a delicious morsel of fried calamari, dip it in marinara sauce and take a bite only to find out I’ve been cheated and deceived by a limp, greasy onion ring.

Mmmmm… squid.

[q]Mmmmm… squid.[/q] IMHO, you can get the same effect a lot cheaper by batter-dipping and deep frying rubber bands, but that’s just me:).

At a Christmas party once, I was eating some lovely little appetizers that were like, gourmet crackers with some sort of chopped meat on them or something. Pretty tasty. I ate several before I found out the chopped meat was pate!! Ewwww!

cat tastes just like chicken when prepared in Kikoman sauce.
