Scrambled eggs - they now make me gag

AuraBora · 13/08/2024 23:22

Mussels. Used to quite like moules marinieres when eating out but just never fancy them now. A lot iof people don't like them so it's not an unusual one.

Also fried eggs..they are so greasy.Iwpupd never choose choose them now and when my DH has a fried egg and bacon sandwich it makes me feel a bit queasy..
I completely went off eggs when pregnant and its taken a couple of years to like them again. But only hard boiled or scrambled and they have to be super fresh ones from our chickens!

Mcdonalds also - it has definitely changed and lost any taste it had

Pasta - it's jusy too heavy for me now

Red meat - every now and then I have a steak at a restaurant but can't stomach it the rest of the time

Indian takeaway - again too heavy

A couple of years ago I was ill for a few months and lost my appetite completely. After it came back it was like my tastes had totally changed and I couldn't stomach a lot of things anymore. Now I eat salad a lot which I used to hate and a lot of Japanese style meals as they are satisfying but lighter.

Grilled SPAM- yuck now

Disneydatknee88 · 13/08/2024 23:42

I used to love those god awful Fray Bentos tinned meatballs when I was a kid (mum did not cook at all). I can't palette them these days. Like dog food. Bleh.

@KohlaParasaurus I'd love to know what it is in tinned macaroni cheese that gives off that smell. I bloody love tinned food of all kinds but that's one of the few I can't stomach.

I love home made macaroni cheese.

Crucible · 13/08/2024 23:47

Mine is rare steak. I had a severe case of food poisoning from one, and I cannot look at it now, medium done please (or not at all, steak is overrated I reckon)

Aproductofmyera80s · 13/08/2024 23:49

Hot dogs, used to love them, kids love them but I had norovirus back in 2010 and that was the last thing I ate and I can’t bare to eat them and haven’t done since. I had norovirus back in June and am yet to eat the last thing I ate then. Kokoro which I had for lunch and hot and spicy chicken wraps I had for dinner. Let me tell you puking up spicy food burns your throat.

Margarine 🤢

HopeSpringsInfernal · 14/08/2024 00:01

Brie

I used to love a nice runny brie, but the last few times I've tried it, it's seemed to stink of ammonia

spiderdave · 14/08/2024 00:07

I've had parosmia since I had covid in 2020 and I can't eat sweets anymore (Haribo, fruit pastels, wine gums etc), they taste like pure chemicals. I used to love sweets!

Thankfully my coffee eventually stopped tasting of ashtray water though.

TheSquareMile · 14/08/2024 00:11

Rollmops (pickled herrings)

I first had them when I lived in Germany and loved them.

The last time I had them, a couple of years ago, I really didn't like the texture.

There was a time when, if I saw a jar in the supermarket, I would leap on it but I walk past now.

Abouttthat · 14/08/2024 00:19

Yes to McDonald's. Their buns have definitely changed, they have a sort of gummy texture now, can't quite put my finger on it, put definitely not as good... and expensive!

LightDrizzle · 14/08/2024 00:23

Mussels. I overdosed on them in Ullapool 30 years ago and I can’t fancy them since. I love clams and other shellfish.

Gifgaf · 14/08/2024 00:23

Corn - I just woke up one day and couldn't stand the smell of it and haven't had one since

ELDV · 14/08/2024 00:24

I don’t like so many foods I used to enjoy but I had a condition called Parosmia post covid and it meant many tastes and smells were warped. Some of them have never come back as they used to be. One of the main ones is chicken and yoghurt. I wonder if anyone else on here has maybe suffered similarly after having covid?

ELDV · 14/08/2024 00:25

Sorry I just sat your post. I had the exact same thing after Covid. It was a nightmare for a while

Gawjus · 14/08/2024 00:26

I bought one of those whole cooked chickens in the supermarket recently. They're quite expensive and I really used to enjoy them as a treat. This one was absolutely horrible and I ended up throwing half of it away. from now on I will always cook my own.

Sorry I meant to reply to you and say I had the exact same thing. The smell of coffee (I don’t actually drink it) was vile for ages. It still makes any right. I used to walk down our street in London and the takeaway smells were horrendous. All distorted and sewage like.

TheresNoFudgeHere · 14/08/2024 00:32

Salmon. Last thing I ate before a horrendous bout of D+V. After seeing it all come back I can’t touch it ever again

BobbyBiscuits · 14/08/2024 00:35

Yeah, KFC is awful now! Maybe my tastes have changed but I think it's also gone down hill!

I used to love pasta. Overcooked, with loads of off brand pesto. Also tinned spaghetti and ravioli.
I can't bear the site of any pasta now!

Muller light yoghurt. Used to love it as a kid but only bc I thought it was 'healthy'. Tastes so bland and fake to me now.

PinkTeaForMe · 14/08/2024 00:38

Any shop bought cakes. I've become a complete cake snob. I'll only ever have homemade and don't even like other people's bakes, I need to know everything that is in it so I prefer just to bake my own.

glittereyelash · 14/08/2024 00:38

Basically all take out food. None of it tastes nice anymore!

HansHolbein · 14/08/2024 00:39

Eggs have been pissing me off recently.
