Forgetting what food you like

[unbibium]

Does anyone have a particular food item or concept that they order every six months, because you forget that you hate it?

Last night ad Denny's, an all-night special jumped out at me: "Sweet & Tangy BBQ Shrimp". It's been a while since I had shrimp, so why not? 12 pieces. MMmm.

Then when it arrived, and I started to eat it, I remembered that BBQ sauce is gross on anything but steak.

Shoulda had the breakfasty stuff.

And thanks to cosmicjester for the ride to RHPS.

I don't have the problem of forgetting I don't like something, I just sometimes have the problem of forgetting what foods cause me stomach problems (like most Chinese food, which causes me really bad gas attacks).

I'm in that boat too, though not with Chinese food, mostly fast food places. There's many restaurants now that I will eat at, have stomach problems, recall that it's a recurring issue at that place, and tell myself, "OK KFC (or whatever), you just made The List," and then stop eating there.

One of my favorite foods, Vietnamese spring rolls from Young's, always did a number on me. It was a love / hate thing. Then my wife suggested not putting the fish sauce on them. Problem solved, and now I can eat them whenever I want.

I'd say just about anything from Denny's for me fits that bill nicely. Ditto IHOP. I go there once every 6-12 months after some evening event, order some food, and regret it shortly thereafter. McDonald's fish sandwich was at the top of that list once, but now that I've sworn off the golden arches, it isn't an issue. I don't hate the sandwich itself---I do like the awful greasy salt lick taste of it---I just hate it once it passes my esophagus.

Somehow I get "regret food" most often at breakfast places. Except maybe less often at Waffle House.

Yeah... Waffle House is usually a safe bet, although sometimes my stomach doesn't agree with the bacon, because my stomach, the heathen bastard, likes to blaspheme against bacon.

Mmmmm, Waffle House...
