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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
[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!
