Do you have any Food Obsessions??

Barbarainnc — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 20:23:46 GMT

Mine is with tuna fish. I ate it growing up with no problems. I went on a diet plan and ate tuna every day for 3 months. After that I couldn't eat tuna any more. I thought I'd try to eat it again, so I made some tuna salad. Tried to take one bite, and had to throw it in the trash. Never again. I love seafood, but not tuna of any kind.

I can't eat vienna sausage. I used to love them when I was a child. Can't stand them now.

When I was a child I ate a whole bunch of oatmeal raisin cookies when my mom wasn't looking. Boy, did I ever get sick!!! It must have been 20 years before I could even smell an oatmeal raisin cookie, much less eat one. LOL...However, now I'm over that and love them once again. I'm not sure that's a good thing, or not.

I think I seem to have some problems with white food. I'm pretty sure that there are white, or white-ish, foods that I eat. But my 'big six' list of foods that I detest, to the degree that even thinking about them or seeing them nauseates me, are all white - mayonnaise (sooooo very gross!), eggs, sour cream, buttermilk, yogurt, and milk.

Conversely, I love cheese and I'm happy about butter so it's not a dairy thing.

It's just that those things are always a deal-breaker for me in a recipe. Well, I can do eggs (as long as I remove those gross white things) in a baking type recipe and I can use milk in a recipe. But I won't even consider using any of the other four in a recipe or, of course, consuming any of the six in any way. I don't even want to be in the same room with them.

If you were to ask me what is THE grossest thing on the planet I would say egg salad. I'd rather eat live maggots. Just seeing or smelling that will literally make me sick - I will have to exit the room to vomit every time.

I go through phases where I eat the same food forever until I get so sick of it I can't eat it for months... Right now my current obsession, although not healthy, is Pumpkin Pie PopTarts! I must start hoarding as they are seasonal and once they're gone, they're gone...

Bananas. I got sick after eating one in high school and haven't had one since. Even the smell nauseates me.

Lately it has been shrimp, any kind any way. I even buy the small cans like tuna comes in and toss it into pasta salad. For some reason I don't care for tuna anymore either. A little too fishy tasting for me.

Blueberries! My sister threw up blueberry pie when we were little. We were laying on a quilt watching TV.......awful. The smell of anything blueberry turns my stomach.

Nutter Butters for me, and Peanut Butter Pop Tarts. I haven't seen the pumpkin ones. I'd like to try those!

Sweet and sour Chinese dishes. I had monumental ugly food poisoning from the dish once, and even thinking about taking a bite makes me shudder.

Chickenbutt! I was the same way with you and the disgusting white thing in eggs. I always removed it.

Tried to ignore the fact that at the bakery it was still in the delicious cakes. Well one thing led to another and I gave up everything that had an egg in it. Yuck.

Now I can't eat anything that ever breathed or swam.

Red Vines, Chocolate Twizzlers, and pepperoni cheese bread from Walmart........I don't dare let myself have it anymore because I'd go beserk, so I just lust over it when I go to W.M.

Gravy. Too...wet. And the bread gets all soggy...ick. As a little girl, my mom would get so upset I wouldn't eat gravy w/ turkey on Thanksgiving.

hula, bless you. when I get pepperoni bread from wmart, I slice it open and put more pepperoni and cheese in it and then heat it used to get it at a different grocery store up north and it was soooo much better, but I make due with what I can find. shame on me, I know. it's not an every day treat.

Obsession means fixation or passion- Why are people talking about what they don't like or can't eat???

I am obsessed with cheese- LOVE it! My favorites are triple cream brie and blue and sharp cheddar from the cheese shop! YUM!

Love chips & ice cream, too!

Peanut Brittle. Got sick on it at the age of 7. Can barely stand to look at it today (fortunately you don't see it around as much anymore).

Pumpkin anything...gingerbread, Reed's Extra Strong Ginger Beer, gingersnaps, candied ginger, ginger tea...cinnamon buns from a bakery that grinds it's own whole wheat flour.

I LOVE all of the above.
