Do you have any Food Obsessions??

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. {#emotions_dlg.blush} 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. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Re: Do you have any Food Obsessions??

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!
