Did anyone else get certain foods tasting "bleachy" during pregnancy?

Just had a yummy fruitsalad but had to stop eating the grapes as they tasted like they had been sprayed with cleaning fluid. Now DH isn't in tonight to check the taste for me (and he generally disagrees with my taste oddities - on occasion I have other ones when not pregnant too- eg. the ham on tesco's fresh hawaiian pizza tastes of fish which DH disagrees with and thinks am mad)
but I remember having this one from last time I was pregnant (ended in MMC) but given that am only 4weeks+1 its a bit early isn't it for funny food tastes?

So maybe tescos have been using cleaning products near my grapes and I should take them back? (N.B I did wash them really well before eating them too- and doubt its cleaning products from our house).

Anybody have anything similar?

Yes! Have just given the cat the rest of my quorn sausage because it tasted like it had been dunked in washing up liquid. Am now busily "taking the taste away" with half a packet of chocolate hobnobs.

Congratulations by the way!

Yes, I had this problem with water for the first and second trimesters -- even when filtered! I had to force myself to sip at water through the day as it tasted so rank.

Yes! I had a fruit salad that tasted suspiciously of petrol to me but absolutely normal to everyone else.

Just had a toasted cheese sarnie, a fave of mine, but had to leave it as it tasted of anything but cheese. yak.
