Had to happen, I made spaghetti and meatballs, which was okay. With the next meal, I added Garlic Bread with melted Mozzarella cheese.
It made my face very pink. What gives, and what could one do about it?
When my wife,“World War III”, gets a pink face after eating something she always says she is having an allergic reaction.
lindsay, was this real garlic bread with actual pressed garlic cloves mashed into butter and spread on the bread or did you use garlic salt? There is a Chinese belief that too much salt or soya sauce gives people a florid complexion.
Or it could be the cheese - how do you react to pizza?
Mr. Mayo flushes eating some kinds of cheese, but he generally reacts more to yellow cheeses than the white varieties.
“Wensleydale?”
“Yes, sir?”
“Splendid! Well, I’ll have some of that then, please.”
“Oh, I’m sorry sir, I thought you were referring to me, Mr. Wensleydale.”
Oh, this was the real deal, crushed garlic, mixed with butter.
You could have a food alergy. Food alergies can be mild, so sometimes the food you are alergic to won’t cause a reaction, and sometimes it will. Food alergies can also be so severe it can KILL you. So be careful, ok?
You may also have roscea, a skin condition that can flare up from certain foods.
Or are you a vampire? Just kidding!
It’s quite normal to feel a slight flush when eating fresh onions or especially garlic. This action is part of what makes it enjoyable. If you are exceptionally fair or thin skinned you may experience a quite noticable flush.
Unless this flush lasts quite awhile post meal (more than 15 minutes or so) it unlikely to be anything to be concerned about.
Getting hungry thinking about spaghetti and garlic bread.
Ummmm…Spaghetti.
