Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Have you ever gotten sick on something, then you won’t touch it ever again.

Calamari at a nice restaurant in Aspen, CO thirty years ago.


RS

Spaghetti with meat sauce, when I was a kid. Luckily I outgrew that.

Pineapple.

Jim

Wild Turkey....(the booze version)

Jack Daniels

Tequila. Got sick on it at a college party back in 1987. Haven’t touched it since, not even margaritas. The smell alone causes a gag reflex.

Peach Schnapps

Vodka ...

Shredded carrot & raisin salad.
Forced to eat that crap & threw up at the table.
Mom told dad "are you happy now"

Getting drunk. I way overdid it at a party in college & spent several days getting over it. I swore I'd never get drunk again and I haven't. I like a beer but never more than 1.

Ta-kill-ya!
New Years 1978 Started in sunrises and switched to shots playing quarters.
To this day I gag at the thought of it!

"The New McRibb"... Got the last one they had on a road trip bout foty yr ago... bragg'in how good it was to all my buds... Umm umm ummm... Few hrs later on the roadside... Thought i was gonna puke to death!... It was a long ride home with those fuggers razz'in me...

Scotch, Vegas had too much of a good thing.

Used to work at a place where we would heat frozen dinners, think Stoufer's creamed chipped beef, chicken pot pies type stuff, in the ovens for our lunch breaks. I'd purchased some sort of seafood dinner deal, only thing in it I'd never had was scallops. Got pretty sick, didn't touch scallops for 30 years even though I figured it might have been something that had thawed in a truck or store freezer and the whole meal was bad. Just couldn't risk it being the scallops.

Finally, I had a couple of bites of scallops once and didn't get sick................so yeah, likely that package of dinner was bad.

Long before I gave up drinking altogether, I could no longer tolerate tequila or mescal. Tried once on a camping trip, 8000' mountain, Memorial Day weekend campout/party. Ran across some friends sitting on a rock overlooking the desert below. Bottle of Cuervo Gold. "Can I have a slug?" "Sure thing" I took the lid off, started to bring it to my lips, got a whiff and immediately started to gag/retch. Put the lid back on and said thanks anyway.

Other than a few things I dislike the taste of, can't recall anything else I won't eat. Had a bad grilled ham and cheese once, hasn't stopped me from eating good ones.

Edit: someone's post about the carrot and raisin salad reminded me of friggen being forced to eat lima beans by the old man once when mom was in the hospital having little bro. We came home from school for lunch, I hated them things before the old man made me finish them, as that was life in our house. On your plate, you better eat it. Got back to school and puked all over the schoolground like that girl in the Exorcist..............same color too I recall.

If I get some sort of meal, soup or stew like, with lima beans in it, they get picked out or I won't touch it.

Beer, spam

Fog leg gumbo.

Damn near died.

Canned deer meat.
Wife ate it too, was fine, so it wasn't the meat.
But I know what came out

Old Crow.
Drank almost a fifth in an hour, only time I've ever been very drunk.
It wasn't fun, couldn't stand any bourbon for a long time.

Chow Mein. I got a major case of food poisoning off it it Chinatown in San Fran when I was stationed in the Bay Area. And this wasn't just the "I feel queasy" thing people call food poisoning. This was the full blown deal diagnosed by a doctor. Spent 3 days in the hospital with IVs in both arms and a serious load of antibiotics and I was leaking at both ends. Took nearly 2 weeks to beat it and I dropped over 30 lbs. It was nearly 5 years before I'd eat any Chinese food at all and I haven't had Chow Mein since then and that was in 1989.

Snake bites. I try to avoid them at all cost.
