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.

I don’t think I do know actually. But here’s an attempt at answering this question anyway:
And bonus, anybody know why that happens?
We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it’s only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.
I get it but specifically with alcohol. For example having a very bad, messy night on scotch- just smelling it will now cause me to heave at least.
I had the flu one time and barfed up shredded hashbrowns. Let me tell you, that stuff gets all stuck in the crevices of your mouth and teeth when you vomit it. Couldn’t eat hashbrowns for a good year after.
Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.
Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.
The body remembers.
My mom was cooking some beef and brown sauce dish as I was reading a book with cannibalism at way too young an age. I associated that smell with eating human flesh for over a decade and would have to leave the house as it was cooking.
Which brings me to my followup, I’ve always wanted to try pork. Have had bacon once but thats all.
Thats bc I live in a Muslim country and its very illegal
