Ever over-indulge in a favorite food and now you can't eat it?
The article about Butterscotch reminded me of one Christmas when I was doing a cookie exchange with some friends. I was to make butterscotch oatmeal cookies (one of my favorites at the time)..... I had to make about 15 dozen cookies. By the time I had finished tasting the batter and "testing" each batch of warm cookies I was just sick with sugar overload. To this day butterscotch is a turn-off for me! Anyone else ever ruin a favorite by over doing it?

Never! I absolutely love sweets, but stay pretty strong on not eating them often.
I have, however, stopped eating certain foods because I learned how they were created or what the actual ingredients were.
I could make brownies, eat the bowl of mix, then eat the tray of brownies. Jesus, you've got me hungry for sugar now. Thanks!

I was once in love with cheesecake. And I can still manage a peice now and then...after a long time without it. However, my hunnis sister was once went into a cheese cake baking craze. Honestly she made it 2-3 times a week!! I never want creme brule cheesecake ever again...

I've done that on certain seasonal dishes, like when tomatoes are ripe, I'll make a bread salad every single day. By thte end of the season, I'm usually kind of burned out. Luckily, after a whole winter without tomatoes, I'm anxious to eat it again this summer. Mmmm....bread salad....

Trader Joe's Indian food... not the frozen kind, but the kind that comes in foil packs. I ate (and eat) it all the time at school and I can never eat it at home now - in general my "at school" food isn't that great so I don't like being reminded of it when I'm not there.

Oh gods yes.. Mint Chocolate. When I was a child, my grandmother sent be a package with three boxes of Andes Candies in it. I ate two and a half boxes in one sitting and was sick for days. To this day, mint chocolate makes me utterly nauseous.. I don't even want to smell it!
I've put myself in the hospital overdosing on chocolate too, but I can still eat that. I just don't like it nearly as much as I used to.. I prefer fruit now ;}

Oh, I forgot one other time. I used to work as a coat check girl in a dinner club complete with impersonators and dancers. During the perfomances I would be bored out of my mind. At the hostess station they had a bowl of those individually-wrapped candy-coated chocolate mints. I would eat those non-stop all night and every night that I worked. To this day, when I see those things at a restuarant I want to gag!

Embarrassed to admit this, but I had a serious addiction to Herr's salt and vinegar chips. I must've O.D.ed on them, because the remnants of the last bag I bought sat around for months before I finally polished them off. I haven't wanted any again since then!

It's somewhat hard to believe, but I had to abstain from croissants for a good few months before I've eaten them again. The reason why, it's because I wrote two lengthy posts about the "Best Croissants" in NYC, and I killed my love for it a good while. But recently, I'm eating an occasional croissant.
