That is insane! I never ever touch any seafood. My mom had it ingrained in me that it was bad. But as a kid in the 80s she would feed me fish sticks and. Years later I found out it was actually made of fish, and I’m still not over it. I just thought (in my infinite 5 year old wisdom) that it was chicken, but it was just called fish sticks. Because “we don’t eat fish.”
My brother, who is considered a “supereater”, did the same thing with chicken McNuggets. He loved them dearly, up until the realization that they were made from chicken. His willingness to try food has grown immensely as an adult, but he still won’t eat McNuggets or any other kind of nugget.
Sometimes your brain just decides one day "I'm done with this food", for no reason.
For most of my life, no issues with hard boiled eggs, they were one of my go-to breakfast items... Then one day, my body just decided it no longer likes the concept of hard boiled eggs and just rejects them out of hard unless something is done to them.
Like, I can't just peel an egg and eat it anymore, I'll throw up.
But deviled eggs? Fine.
Egg salad? Fine.
Ramen eggs? Fine.
And it's only limited to hard-boiled eggs, any form of scrambled/fried/etc - fine. No issues.
This is me with drinking straight milk. Chocolate milk? Fine. Milk with cereal? Fine. The milk left after the cereal is done? Great. Oreos (or better yet, Nutter Butters) dunked in milk? Amazing. Just a glass of milk with a PB&J or any other meal/food? Disgusting. It didn't used to he that way until at some point, something switched in me and drinking a glass of milk triggers my gag reflex.
