Anyone else suddenly put off a food after an unpleasant association?

Really bad pregnancy sickness and had eaten strawberries that day that were quite apparent on their reappearance and had a nightmare featuring rancid strawberries. Couldn’t face them for a very long time!
Absolutely love strawberries! 🍓

When I was 6 a spider dropped off the ceiling over the dining table and landed on a mushroom on my plate. After that I didn't eat mushrooms for about 20 years 😂. Love them now though.

I’ve had really severe sickness in all three of my pregnancies. Even though I wouldn’t have been consuming smoked salmon or wine whilst pregnant, just the sight or even thought of them made me want to curl up and die. I am no longer pregnant and my eldest is five and I am still weirdly grossed out by smoked salmon and wine. I see them and I feel instant morning sickness. It’s a real shame, especially at Christmas or at weddings! 😂

Those honey and lemon Lockett throat lozenges that melt in the middle.
If i just say I didn't realise thet had a laxative effect and I thought I'd let out a fart....you can guess the rest.

I was ill after a courgette pasta (not the cause but the last thing I ate) and courgettes are a no go now. But I have a few food aversions. Sometimes the aversion seems permanent and sometimes it doesn’t, tomatoes are a temporary one for me - a bad tomato will put me off for a few months but I will eventually eat them again. Try it in a different format, so finely diced and as a sauce thickener or fried like a steak, see if that helps.

A few years ago I ate mushrooms in a pasta sauce that were past their best. The texture of them more than the taste was just so revolting I've never eaten mushrooms since. The thought of eating them turns my stomach.

I once watched a cat give birth while I was eating a stuffed marrow. For about 3 years afterwards I couldn’t see a marrow or a courgette without retching, let alone eat one. I like them again now.

Not an unpleasant association, but when I was 9 months pregnant with DC1, we got a Papa John's Pizza. I went into labour soon after dinner and threw the whole thing up. I haven't been able to eat one since. DS is 18!

I became vegetarian after getting food poisoning from a shop bought chicken sandwich. I was ill for about 6 weeks afterwards and needed 2 courses of antibiotics. That was about 20 years ago.

I’m squeamish when it comes to blood and can’t eat anything ‘bloody’ like steak, tuna etc. Bleugh. Fine with white fish and white meat.

I haven’t eaten chicken since October 2024. Campylobacter. It’s not that I think I’ll get sick again from it but it’s like the association with alcohol you r been really ill off
just the thought of chicken makes me turn green
