To ask what food you once loves is now totally ruined for you and why?

[SylviaPlath1984]

I loved a good roast dinner, nothing could beat it... until morning sickness meant I threw one up over Christmas and now I can't so much as look at one!

What's your once beloved food that now makes you want to heave?

Horlicks! It just doesn't taste the same any more. Have they changed the recipe?

And Spam. I used to love it when I was small but the very thought of it makes me want to vomit now. The world was such a different place in the early 1980s

Marmite. Until bloody covid ruined my sense of smell and taste. 4 months on and it's still not quite right

Cheese - as a toddler I couldn’t get enough of it, the smellier the better, my grandparents had cheese and crackers on the table for after lunch every day and they had to cover it up because I wouldn’t eat my lunch if I could see it. Then about the age of two or three I realised my dad didn’t eat it and I stopped eating it! I’ll have it melted or cooked in sauces but not on it’s own, the thought of putting a piece of cheese in my mouth turns my stomach.

Me too! I used to love cheese as a kid. Not sure what happened, but when I hit my teens, I couldn't stomach it. I don't go anywhere near it now, and actually heave if DH makes anything with melted cheese on

Broccoli. I loved it until being pregnant with DS. Now I really don't like it unless it's tenderstem. DS is 15.

Not food, but Red Bull.

Oh dear God I had so many of these at uni, mixed with vodka (naturally ), I remember throwing it up - the smell, the colour 🤮

To this day if I even get a whiff of it I'm out of the door before I vomit.

Bernard Matthew's mini kievs.

I bit into one and instead of just being bitten in half there was this hard, stringy vein like thing that joined the the whole thing together. I was sick a bit on myself as I ran the bathroom. Vile.

Not been able to risk eating one since.
And they were my comfort hangover food, movie night food, general treat.

Vodka red bull
Literally IS the smell of vomit to me.

Tangerines - the smell of them made me sick when I was visiting a student’s workplace, and I subsequently miscarried (not blaming that on the smell though!!) can’t bear even peeling one for my daughter!!

Cous cous - a different pregnancy/miscarriage/vomiting one.

Was sick after eating tuna as a child and didn’t eat it for years!

Jacket potato

I boarded at college as a teenager. As a vegetarian with food intolerances 90% of my food options were jacket potato. The only topping option I could eat with it was cheese. It got very old, very fast. I east them occasionally now, but only under duress.

Cod and chips from the chippy, until I read a thread on here about cod worms and then subsequently saw one the very next time we got a chippy tea! No idea how many I must have eaten in the past when I was blissfully unaware of them!!! Bleugh!!!

Hotdogs.

A guy in work ruined my IKEA treat by calling them “bumholes and eyelids”.

I've been wondering this.

Wow. That really does prove that kids take notice of adults actions.

I used to love the milkshakes from McDonald's as a teen and one day I was sick after having one (along with other food) and could never stomach having it every again - from McDonalds mind, I drink milkshake elsewhere
But then Again you could apply that to watermelon Bacardi breezers which I was obsessed by until one night when I consumed way too much and never drank it again!

For actual food :

1. Rice pudding because my grandad told me it was maggots
2. cows tongue - my grandmother made it all the time and I loved it - until the day I found out what it was
3. I used to love bovril on toasted baguette and butter but for some reason I've gone way off it
4. chicken noodle soup - no idea why but find it revolting now
5. Christmas pudding - again no idea but I loved it when I was younger, can't stand it now

Toblerone or any nuts in chocolate.
I was poorly after eating it when I was a child, not touched it since.

Hotdogs.

Hot dogs when I was 8, I was sick at night with such force one of the ‘ends’ came out of my nose. Cant even look at them now. Also kidney smells and tastes like pee to me - my mum used to tell off for saying this, but it’s true.

Fish, watched Seaspriacy on Netflix

@Mellonsprite

I worked in a butchers for years and once had to slice kidneys in half. Loads of wet what looked like urine to me went all over my hands and it's put me off them ever since.

Not even sure if it was or not.

Mussels. Had them last summer on a stupidly hot day and it did not end well. But I miss them so...

Also Chinese food. I used live near an amazing Chinese restaurant, I still dream about their food, but literally every restaurant I’ve tried since has been shockingly bad it’s just put me off in general.

@queenofthenorthwest definitely will be urine! Knew I was always right! 🤣

Wtf MrsXx4!!! Well that’s me not eating fish ever again!

Runny eggs. Thanks pregnancy. I mean runny white is always vile but I used to like a runny fried egg.
There are a LOT of places so obsessed with runny yolk they leave the white runny too. Bleurgh

@thenightsky

Coffee (ok, not a food). Used to love it, couldn't start the day without one. Then I got pregnant and I couldn't even walk past a coffee shop without wanting the heave. Roasting coffee beans smelled exactly like cigarettes. I've never re-gained the love, even 25 years later.

Coffee for me too! I worked in an A&E Department and the consultant always had coffee percolating in his office. Even a waft of it had me running to the toilet to heave! Still can’t drink it to this day. My daughter is 26 now.

White wine since pregnancy 2, just smells off & burns
