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

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.

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

is there anything specific that made u not want to eat them or just the general in-depth knowledge? I find often the more I know about a food the less appealing it seems

How they replicate with spores, the string like structure of their root equivalent and their internal structure are the most disgusting parts for me.
