Food allergies aside, are there any food you can't bring yourself to eat?
For me it's not a single food but a type of plant: raw leafy greens - lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.
It's not a taste issue, either. It's because when I was a little kid I helped my grandma pick lettuce out of her garden. I was so damn excited to eat that lettuce. She let me help her pick it, she let me chop it up and everything. It was a damn good salad, too. Until halfway through when I chomped into some weird fuckin' worm.
It was so bitter and unexpected that it fucked my mind up and now anytime there are leafy greens on my plate, whether it's in a salad, on top of a burger, etc. I get that same grossed out feeling in my stomach.
If it's kale or spinach that has been cooked down or blended up I have no problem. But if it's leafy and green and anything similar to the bug salad I had, my brain just says nope.
What about you? Any food you won't eat whether it's taste or texture or whatever?
