Hating foods you used to love
 

Have you ever woken up one day and realized you no longer enjoy a certain food? With me, it was eggs. I used to love them, any way they were cooked.

At first, I thought it was my SO's method of cooking, but then I tried to prepare them myself, and no dice. I dislike them to the point of nausea. I don't know why. I wasn't touched inappropriately by a hen.

I still like foods that have eggs as an ingredient.

Has this ever happened to you?

Only with junk food. Cheapo flavoured potato chips, penny candy, chocolate bars... I just don't desire the sweetness. I can taste how cheap a lot of the ingredients are. Hershey's Kisses taste like wax and Wagon Wheels taste like sawdust.

I still like the idea of a Pop Tart but I could never buy one. Cereals like Honey Combs or Frosted flakes are too sweet and the saturated sugar milk left at the bottom of the bowl is noxious to me.The thought of downing a box of Nerds like I did as a kid makes me shudder.

I used to love Mountain Dew and Pop Tarts, but can't stand them. Sometimes eggs make me nauseous, too. And shrimp and other seafood is VERY hit-or-miss.. it can make me gag one day and I'll be just fine with it the next. It's weird.

Most candy I enjoyed in my youth makes me feel a little sick now.. I can't even eat more than one starburst these days.

I have experienced the opposite. I used to detest spinach but now I love it. I read somewhere that this is normal, because as you age your taste buds change and you become less sensitive to the bitterness of greens.

I have never stopped liking something I loved, but I have become tired of eating a certain food, usually because I've eaten it a lot of times for several days in a row. Then I can't stand it. But after a while I like it again.

Ditto on the sweets, I now longer can stand them when too sweet (for me, at least).
I like all sorts of veggies that I didn't before, like rutabaga, peas, and brussel sprouts.

I am with Fresnelly on the junk food. For some reason a lot of the junk food I used to love just tastes like chemicals now... I still eat some but most just tastes like crap.

Key-lime pie. It's sort of like "A Clockwork Orange" ... it's really just torture that I don't like it anymore. I want to like it. I want to love it.

My wife made it so much when she was trying to perfect it that I can't stand it anymore. People tell me that hers is among the best they've ever tasted ... I wouldn't know.

My beloved key-lime pie ... :(

I used to love Pringles chips, and now I can't stand them. Same with a lot of other junk food and sugary cereals. Doritos, Captin Crunch, and Chocolate Lucky Charms, I just can't eat them anymore.

Lasagna & Cheesecake - Used to love both and eat them whenever I could. Can't stand either one now. The lasagna, I know why - I got nasty case of food poisoning from it once and won't touch it now. As for the cheesecake, not so sure why. One thing is positive form this is that both would not be too good for my diet now. :)
