I definitely hold food grudges...
I haven't been to Outback since April since I got sick. I think I'm over it and open to eating there again!
I won't eat canned soup anymore...found a spider in my Progresso during my maternity leave!

Amy's organic frozen foods. I threw them up once and never again. Which is odd, because usually that doesn't bother me. Maybe because the boxes look kinda vomit colored?

Pizza Hut...got sick twice from it and can't eat it again.
Doritos, had the flu and got sick from them (including dorito chicken which was my favorite meal to make.)
I can't drink 7-up either...reminds me of being sick as a kid!

Yes, I do. If I got sick after eating a certain food, it's really hard for me to eat it again because of the association. It's taken me years to eat certain foods again after getting sick. As for restaurants, I would never, ever go back to one if I got sick after eating there. Heck, I wouldn't even go to a restaurant if I just heard that someone else got food poisoning there!

YEP. I used to love Trader Joe's corn dogs and there was a grisly bit in one one time and I've never eaten them since (and probably never will again).
We also refuse to eat at Charlie's subs and Chilis, even though we like the food at both, because the last 2 times we went to each place we both got stomach aches.
If I found a spider in my soup I'd probably never eat ANYTHING out of a can again haha.
The only thing I don't hold grudges against are natural foods (like I found a worm in a tomato one time but I didn't stop eating tomatoes, I just made sure to check them carefully for a long while.

@autumnlove: are you serious? I'm sorry but what. The. Hell.
My skin is crawling.

@autumnlove: I found a little worm in a can of Amy's organic soup once. It actually didn't bother me too much because it made me feel like it seriously must be organic, a little garden worm was on the veggies! But I called customer service and they sent me a whole bunch of coupons for Amy's products.

@autumnlove: did you sent that pic to the soup company? blechhhh I may never eat anything out of a can again just seeing that pic!!

I do! Once I didn't even easy the food, I was having a dream I was eating this toffee candy and woke up throwing up, I haven't touched it since and I was a kid when it happened. I got cold chicken nuggets from Wendy's once and haven't eaten a fast food nugget since.
I hold the other kind of food grudge too, my husband ate my leftovers from my favorite takeout place (that we drive by multiple times a week) and I grumped about it for days.

@Mae: I called and they sent me vouchers for free soup and an apology letter...I should redeem the vouchers and donate it? I wanted to send them the pic but they said they couldn't receive outside emails.

@autumnlove: noooooooo!!! Nightmares for daysssss.
I got a stomach bug at the beginning of my pregnancy (and I was already dealing with morning/afternoon sickness) that started the morning after a dinner at a Greek restaurant. It was the kind of sick where you can't even keep water down, sleep next to the toilet, and basically want to die. No more shawarma for this lady

Oh my god.. spider in the soup!?! So gross!!
I didn't eat cesar salad for like 10 years after getting sick after eating it!
I also cannot drink Smirnoff Ice after drinking too many and throwing it up - does that count??? lol!

@Mrs. Champagne: that was from the summer..so I don't want to tweet or FB it now!

Yes. I won't eat at a certain sandwich shop or Chinese restuarant around here because of food poison.
You make me glad I don't buy canned soup! That's disgusting!

I won't eat Subway because there was one near our old building downtown. I can't forget the gross yeast smell that wafted from it. Keep in mind, we lived near a chocolate factory, so the competing smells sucked.

I didn't eat at Bob Evans for a year after one of their truck drivers rear-ended us with his semi.

@autumnlove: I would probably never eat any canned soup again. I would be scarred for life.
I suppose I do hold food grudges. I don't remember anything that bad ever happening to me though!
One time I ate eel (sushi) and it made me really sick. I used to love it, and now I wont touch it at all anymore.
hostess / wonderful watermelon / 39513 posts
@Crystal: ahh, I think I'll forget about the spider eventually...
You should give sushi another try!

I had food poisoning last week from pizza and the thought alone makes my mouth start to water again. I love pizza too, but this was the lay by the toilet, throw up for 20 hours kind so I am not going to be having it for a while...

Ahhh that's grody. I hold a food grudge against chocolate milk. When I was in kindergarten I drank spoiled chocolate milk and haven't touched it since. DH thinks I'm crazy.
@MamaMagpie: nooo, how will you eat shawarma with the Avengers now?

DH got food poisioning from Steak n Shake that we had for lunch. It hit him after we ate dinner. So he still won't let me make a homemade pizza again 4 year later, after he watched it come back up.

Took me awhile to eat fish again after getting food poisoning at an Applebee's. And i still haven't had a bloody mary after having the stomach flu the next morning. Some things just ruin it for you

Yes! It took me a reaaaaaally long time to eat sushi again after I got food poisoning once. And I love sushi.
I never went back to that sushi place ever again though.

@LuLu Mom: I can't drink lemon lime Gatorade for the same reason as your sprite aversion
@Mrs. Champagne: hahaha totally counts! The smell of red bull makes me sick bc of RB&vodka in college...*shudder
I refuse to get salads at fast food joints. I've had too many wilted lettuce experiences!

@autumnlove: What?? A spider? So gross! Yes, I hold food grudges. There was a roach in my entree at a local soup and salad shop. I never went back there, that was 2005!

Yup. There's an old cafe/restaurant in town that was bought by the sweetest Korean couple. I the mom and daughter and she loves us. But her husband has been serving us crap food
It was the first place we visited (for sushi) on our way home from the hospital right after I'd given birth. He sold DH a plate of bad amaebi and I know the wife got mad at him when he was packing it up.
I forgave him. Then the next few times, he's been serving badly cooked fried rice and soggy deep fried food. I'm so sad. I miss going there, but if he's the only one there, the food is appalling! When his wife prepares the food, it's great!
We've stayed away all summer because of the food, but I miss his wife, so we're probably going to stop by soon.

Yes. Ate half a box of thin mints when I was 7. Threw up all over myself in my sleep (didn't wake up while throwing up). Woke up from my nap with vomit that smelled minty all in my hair and bed. Haven't had a thin mint since.
Broke a Whataburger chicken tender in half (luckily didn't bite into it!) when I was 8 weeks pregnant. It was completely raw inside. Won't eat chicken from Whataburger anymore!

Heck yes I do! I used to love a local place until they gave me pink burgers a few times when I was pregnant and asked explicitly and repeatedly for well done.

My husband does! We both got food poisoning from fish tacos over 2 years ago and he still won't eat them!!

Yes. I got violently ill after eating at Five Guys once- and so much gastric pain I was thisclose to going to the emergency room. I'll never touch their food again.
