Food Phobias?
I was just wondering how many of you out there have any food phobias. I figure if everyone contributes, this could get pretty amusing.
By food phobia, I mean you can't be next to, smell or even imagine the food without literally getting queasy or wanting to projectile vomit accross the room.
I have found that generally, most people's food phobias (including mine, with the exception of mayonnaise which is just putrid) stem from an experience when they ate WAY too much of a particular food, got sick or ill and therefore became repulsed by whatever it was they ate.
My 3 are:
DORITOS - My worst one. I could vomit right now if I wanted to, literally
Papa John's Pizza - Just the smell of their sauce makes me want to die.
Mayonnaise - The sickest goo on earth. I honestly don't know how people can consume this stuff.

I really wouldnt call it Food Phobia though, cause that would mean you are actually afraid of the food.
Or do you see a jar of mayo, and immediately scream and dive out a window?

I know that for it to be a technical "PHOBIA", fear must be present, but I was just using the term casually in the starting of this thread, although I will literally have to run away from Doritos because if I don't, I will throw up.
Now, jumping out of the window for mayonnaise...that's hardcore.  |

Salmon Patties
When I was much younger my sister decided to try and cook dinner for the famliy. She added baking soda to the salmon patties. Can't eat them since then. Nasty creation anyway.

My only phobia would be not having enough of it, given that I like just about anything edible and am willing to eat most of the few things I don't like if it's put in front of me and I'm hungry. Pickled plums, however, which can be found in sushi joints, qualify as nasty, though I'm not going to freak out if exposed to them again. I couldn't eat oysters for about 15 years after I got food poisoned by a bad one, but I'm past that now and like them again.

All of my food phobias are directly related to abuse of alcohol in conjuction with the consumption of said food with disastrous results
#1 - Any type of Sour Cream and Onion flavored potato chips.
Note to anyone on BP- If you are ever in my presence and I happen to inadvertantly injest a poisinous substance that recommends "Induce Vomiting" just wave a bag of these anywhere in my vicinity.
#2 - White Castle - need I say more. I cannot even drive by one of their buildings without getting nauseus.
#3 - Gyros -
I have since conquered this phobia, but from the first week I entered college until about 4 years ago I could not be in the same room as one.
