What are some of the things you haven't eaten in so long they basically don't even register as edible any more?

I’ve got a pretty severe sensitivity to – of all things – sugar. (I know, “sugar” isn’t very precise, but I’m pretty sure it’s either glucose, fructose, or sucrose.) I virtually never eat anything with added sugar or anything with any significant amount of natural sugar. And I’ve eaten that way for like 20 years now. I’m practically blind to half the produce department (any “sweet” fruits like apples, pears, cherries, grapes, oranges, etc) at the grocery store, let alone the candy isle.

Nmill11b,

Natto. Literally the worst, IMO. Even a good number of Japanese folks don’t like it.

niktemadur,

Bologna
Breakfast cereal

I haven’t had either, in any way, shape or form, in decades.

There’s another one but this I’d like to try again - root beer with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. I’ve had the ice cream, but not the root beer.

Your mother 🤤

MonkderZweite,

MC Donalds and similiar. Crispy oven pommes and self-made burger beats greasy pommes and spongy burger tasting like old socks.

VintageTech,

Meat, nobody tastes good anymore.

alcohol of any form I will not consume… I’m not against getting fucked up, I smoke weed but alcohol itself is just absolutely nasty to me. hate how it tastes, hate how it feels

I also avoid ketchup or ketchup based products like BBQ sauce… I just think it tastes bad… I like mustard… I have been like this since a very young age

havokdj,

Same here. I even use certain hallucinogens like psychedelics and salvia on occasion, but I absolutely abhor alcohol or any downer with every fiber of my being.

How do you consume your salvia out of curiosity? I want to try it but I’m hesitant because smoking it feels risky and I hear sublingual tastes awful

havokdj,

Usually just do sublingual, I’ve smoked it a couple of times but have found the onset to be waaaay too fast for me personally. I believe you can make a tea with it too but it’d probably be a lot milder of an effect kind of like mushroom tea.

Understandable, I’ll have to give it a shot

Goulash, pot roast, chili, and all the other shit I ate regularly while growing up in the Midwest.

FluffyPotato,

Mushrooms. Ever since I learned more about mushrooms than I ever wanted to know in school like 30 years ago I haven’t been able to even touch them.

garbagebagel,

They just make me shit my pants. Wish I could eat them tho, they’re in lots of good food.

I have literally eaten entire plates of only mushroom. I fucking love the texture and the nuttiness is just so fuck good

RBWells,

I’ve gotten much more omnivorous as I get older, but have not eaten a fast food burger since I was a little kid. Don’t remember being bothered by them back then (unless they involved ketchup) but it’s been at least 40 years and they seem like inedible items to me now, I’d much rather have nothing.

Popeyes chicken I can still eat, and the American Chinese fast food. Oh and fries from about anywhere, though I don’t consider them nutrition, I like 'em.

OceanSoap,

Most cheese, really. I mean, I can eat it, but it rarely adds anything good to a meal for me. It wasn’t until I spent a good chunk of time in Erope ad came that I realized how much cheese we put on everything and how it just makes everything taste like, well, cheese.

So, I no longer add cheese as a topping to most things.

acetanilide,

I don’t know that I’ve ever thought of something as inedible. But, I will say that, when I stop eating sugar for awhile, it is crazy tasting going back to it.

Going through these phases has helped me to understand what people mean when they say American food is too sweet, especially things like sandwich bread which I never thought of as sweet before.

It also makes sense about desserts that are “sickeningly sweet” - I’ve always had a sweet tooth (have one now) so I never thought of it that way. But whenever I go back to these desserts it becomes pretty obvious what people mean.

THE_MASTERMIND,

I have kinda recently developed a distaste for junk food also mayonnaise i hate that shit with all my heart.

Son_of_dad,

Chef boyardee. I served some to my kid and took a bite cause I hadn’t had it in decades. That shit is vile. Was it always that bad and we didn’t notice as kids, or did they change it up and it’s awful now?

Aremel,

Little of column A, little of column B

insaneinthemembrane,

Crisps (potato chips). I looked at the nutritional breakdown and the ingredients and just didn’t see the point. It feels like eating flavoured cardboard and it’s like sludge going through my system. That’s kinda off-putting 😄

mx_smith,

Beer. Since I stopped drinking it I have lost so much weight and feel so much healthier.

9715698,

He long had it been? Did you check it alcohol altogether?

mx_smith,

It’s been about 10 years since I stopped and I’ll still have the occasional drink of champagne for family events but the wheat in beer added so much extra to my diet.
