Out of curiosity, I wondered if anyone here has a specific food/dish they despise the most. Is it taste? Texture? Smell? Or something else you can not stand? Also, why is it so?
Tuna, or the smell of it anyway not so much the taste as I can eat sushi fine. I guess the reason may be in part because of a chemical called trimethylamine. This chemical is produced by bacteria that break down the fish proteins. Some people have a genetic condition that makes them unable to break down trimethylamine in their bodies, so they can smell it more strongly and feel nauseous or sick.
