Inspired by the "Foods You Used To Hate" thread (and Yankee's suggestion)..... What foods did you used to "never get enough of." And now you taste it and think, "yuck! What was I thinking!" For me....when I was a kid, I used to drink Mountain Dew like it was neccessary to sustain my existance. I remember tasting some several years ago, and it was just horrible! Also, sour candies, like those fruit flavored soured watermelon, peach, etc gummie candies. I used to get them as a special treat every once in a while. Then one day, I put one in my mouth and just as suddenly as that I couldn't stand sour stuff any more! Wierd!

Oh this is funny .. at least to me! I used to LOVE pound cake until I ate way, way, way too much of it in one sitting. I ended up throwing it up and now even just the smell of it makes me ill. I haven't had it in years!!!

I have a similar experience with beer. My sis took me out on my 18th birthday to celebrate my being officially "of age." I drank way too much, got so sick I puked and passed out on her friend's couch (her karma was she had to clean up after me ). Last thing I remember of that night was feeling lousy and leaning over the toilet waiting for the inevitable. Next thing I remember is waking up on their couch, and a giant wet spot on the carpet next to the couch. How I got there, I don't know. Nor do I remember being the cause of that wet spot. But sis insists that's where she had to clean up after me. I'll just have to take her word for it on that one! For the longest time, I couldn't even smell beer without threatening to become violently ill. After that finally wore off, once in a while someone would offer me a taste of one of those gourmet flavored concoctions, insisting it didn't taste like normal beer and that I would really like it. After the second attempt to taste, I knew from then on I would just have to politely decline any and all offers of beer of any style!

Boy, reading what you guys posted here really brought back some memories! I have had the same experience as Vacanick. But, for me, it wasn't pound cake which I still like very much. For me, it was FRUITCAKE! Yikes, I have had enough of it to last a lifetime and haven't gone near it for years. Just thinking about the stuff makes me feel yucky! I was the only one of seven kids who would sit down with my dad and eat sardines on crackers. The thought of those little fishies now just makes me feel double yucky!! I use to drink beer occasionally when I would party but haven't for years cause it would just make me physically sick. Even though I don't drink it now, every time I have Better Cheddar crackers, I crave a beer! It never fails, if I eat those things, beer is always is on my mind! And to be honest, I really and truly don't want one at all.

Yay! Thanks, Whoami for the thread! Well, I grew up on a 350 acre farm. We had an acre and a half garden. My brother and I used to go and pull up stuff from the garden (including potatoes) and eat them right then and there, dirt and all. My dad had a big family (15 bros/sis) and every fall, my grandfather would gift each family with a hog. The hog slaughter was a weekend family affair, and we thought it was fun. As an adult, I shudder at the memories. But I digress... I've eaten all kinds of crazy meats -- brain, squirrel, frog legs, etc. - that I wouldn't touch today. Additionally, my mom used to cook everything using lard. YUCK! Oh and I used to love Vienna sausages in a can. YUCK! I'm sure there are tons more things, but I'll have to think about it and post more later.

Oh Blech, I have never like peeps. I used to like vienna sausages, now you couldn't force me to eat one, reminds me of too many men I have known. I used to adore Oreos and then I got sick on them, it was years before I could eat them again. Sad, huh?

Big Red Soda! I used to love it, especially making a ice cream float with Big Red. I think years ago they changed the recipe, I tried one and got very sick at my stomach.

Little Debbie oatmeal creme cookies/snack cakes...whatever they were. Syrup. I actually don't hate it now and once or twice a year I will want it and eat a little bit of it. When I was about age 8, I loved it so much that I decided to pour myself a glass of it and drink it. That was the end of syrup for me until about 5 years ago. After many years, I didn't hate it anymore, but the least little bit would make me instantly full.

Cotton candy and candy canes. Really any candy that is just pure sugar. Oh, and whipped cream...blah! It makes my teeth ache, not to mention my tummy gets quite upset w/me. I think as a child I had a stronger constitution for foods than what I'm capable of digesting these days.
