Weird associations or aversions

“I don’t eat anything I don’t recognize at first glance.”

 

“…and I know it’s not the end of an egg, it’s the beginning of a chicken. It’s hen…”

 

I was pretty young when this came out, and of course I could relate to everything he said.

 

I never was very comfortable with that white thing in raw eggs, and since seeing this, I haven’t been able to cook eggs without removing it. However, although I realize that pretty much no one else takes it out, I’m still comfortable eating eggs that someone else has cooked.

Jack Daniels makes me vomit every time, I dont care if its in Jack or Coke or a shot, the smell brings back a brutal night when I was 17 and now almost 13 years later I still cant touch a drop without being sick... odd since other whisky is fine..

 

My pathological hatred of Ketchup has no such logical backstory, I don't know why but tasting, smelling, or even having to clean it off of dishes makes me nauseous. Vile nasty substance should be tossed into the fires of mount doom from whence it came.

@Copywriter: I do the exact same thing with the white bit in eggs. Disgusting.

 

I have several, most of which I've got over now.

 

Heinz tomato soup - once when I was a kid, a friend of mine had a whole can of it just before we went on a long car journey and then proceeded to puke it all back up again next to me. I can still see it pouring out of her mouth and for about a decade after that I couldn't even smell the stuff.

Olives and mussels, I only just started eating these again after tasting them both as a kid thinking they were going to be something else and being very unpleasantly surprised (the first I thought were grapes and the second I thought were sugar puffs lol)

Spearmints. I still can't eat spearmints because whenever we went on car journeys my parents would always give us pick and mix and these were the sweets that would always make me travel sick for some reason. Whenever I taste spearmint I always get that horrible sicky feeling. Peppermint is fine though.

And I also can't stand cold baked beans. It's not so much the beans but the juice, I just can't stand it getting on my hands or anything. No idea where that one comes from though..

I can do water, feathers, air or cotton, but absolutely no foam on my mattress or pillows. At least not that I can see or ever know about. We would go camping as kids and when the tent leaked, the foam mattresses soaked it all up. Disgusting, itchy, wet, stinky... ughhhhhh

Mashed potatoes, porridge, bananas...anything with that mushy kind of texture. Makes me wretch just thinking about these foods.

 

I know where it all comes from - Mum used to force me (on several occassions I was even tied to a chair) to eat Weetabix which had been crushed up and mixed with hot milk. Rancid stuff. Now anything that has a similar texture makes me gag.

 

Blargh.

I can never drink a shot of tequila again in my life. There was a huge party the last day of highschool and I bought two bottles of tequila with a friend, who subsequently dissapeared for some reason or other. I drank most of the two bottles, didn't even have salt and lemons for the last 3/4. Needless to say, I had to pay a very expensive detailing of the car of the friend that drove me to the hospital. Just the smell of it makes me want to puke, and seeing people doing shots makes me queasy.

 

I absolutely hate the feeling of walking on fresh or somehow loose snow, feels like nails to a chalkboard to me, that horrible crushing sound and the feeling of it compacting underfoot. As you can imagine, I'm thoroughly miserable in the winter here.

 

Somebody told me when I was little that those huge dark moths have a powder on their wings that can make you go blind. I can't go near one and always run away screaming like a little girl if they ever come into my room and start flapping around.

Aversion: Jello. Or jelly, gelatin, wackelpudding and whatever else it's called. A year or so ago I was at a chinese buffet and 2 attendants put out a huge, huge tray with about a hundred little bowls of green Jello on it. They wiggled and wobbelled at the same velocity, in the same directions and stopped wiggling at exactly the same moment and it was so weird I've stayed away from the stuff ever since.

Artichokes. Once I was enjoying a nice buttery leaf. And after I'd scraped it halfway clean with my teeth, I realized I'd also eaten half of a rather large spider.

 

I still like the taste of artichokes (sans spider, of course) but I hafta examine every leaf like 10 times before I bite down now.
