I have not had any aversions to foods or to smells thus far....except for one....a box of jalapeño poppers that has been sitting in my freezer for 6 months. I don't even think it is an aversion to the food itself but more of the idea of the food. I open the freezer to get something and get a nasty feeling just looking at the box. I loved them before I got pregnant, which is why I bought the box in the first place. I even ate one when Justin ordered them while we were out two months ago. But the idea of these poppers in this box make me feel sick. Now I'm assuming that you are all thinking Why doesn't she just throw them out?? I wish I could, believe me, but I married the most cost conscious man ever! If I were to throw away the unopened box of perfectly good jalapeño poppers that don't expire for another 6 months, he would fish them out of the trash and put them back in their place with the thought, What a waste! I will eat these eventually! This is a man who frustrates the hell out of me when he stands in each aisle of the grocery store comparing cents per ounce of each brand option just to be sure he gets the best deal. Because I love this man more than anything (and because I don't want another lecture about our finances and how I need to do my part) is why that box of poppers will remain my mortal enemy in the freezer giving me the yucky feeling.
He learned the fishing out of the garbage trip from Grandpa Paape. Just wait until he starts driving to various grocery stores to save a couple bucks.....it will likely begin around retirement time.
