I dislike cilantro and find it in a number of things I didn't expect it in, much to my dismay.
Another thing that gets thrown into a lot of things is artificial sweetener. I went through a period last fall when any artificial sweetener tasted nasty to me - it started overnight and gradually went away. I could handle it ... except for my TOOTHPASTE. It was really nasty getting a foul sour taste instead of that "minty fresh" taste. Tried several brands, including Tom's of Maine, and got it from all of them. bleah
The prosecutor would ask her a question, and she would look pleadingly at the translator and say "Ay, dios mio," or she would look at the prosecutor and say, "Ay, senora."
Aiyeee. This is why Capt. Beefheart wrote a song titled "My Human Gets Me Blues."
Toddson, did you never find a brand that wasn't artificially sweetened? I use JASON or somesuch, and it's fine.

I have a tube of toothpaste with a taste that triggers my gag reflex hardcore, and yet I am all, "But it's almost brand new! I can't throw it out!"
I need to get rid of it because you're supposed to brush your teeth

I have at least one tube of toothpaste that's artificially sweetened and two or three things of hand soap or lotion whose scents make me migrainey. Just sitting there, taking up space. In case of...something I haven't worked out yet.
Luckily, I am now able to enjoy my artificial sweetener addiction ... but it was unpleasant while it lasted. Aftermath of the stroke or the medication? who knows. I asked the neurologist and he'd never heard that one before. Hey! I made medical history! in a teeny tiny way.
It's always tasted dramatically crappy to me--even so far as an unpleasantly slippery mouth feel. I'm not sure when I worked out it was a migraine trigger, but I wonder how tied in that was.
Most of my trigger foods that I've identified taste bad to me, so I've never had to give up anything nummy.
So what did people have for lunch today?
(I thought I'd change up the question, since we covered the weekend yesterday.)
So what did people have for lunch today?
Vegetable soup and tuna salad sandwich. I lucked out when I picked up my diet food yesterday--the distributor was short a 1200-calorie bag, but had an extra 2000-calorie bag, and asked if I would like to swap for the weekend for no extra charge. Hell, yeah! So, I wasn't hungry this afternoon, like I normally am.
