What food has been ruined for you? (Slightly gross)
Options
So I was in Thailand a month or so ago and my partner and I went for this HUGE sushi meal at a shopping centre. It was delicious and we ate a heap. Problem was, when we got back to the hotel we both got extremely ill. It was bad enough that we basically lost a whole day of our trip.
Normally I have an iron stomach and can eat almost anything without getting sick, so this was pretty unusual for me. Anyway since I've gotten back I've noticed I cannot stand the sight, smell or concept of ANY form of sushi. I normally love the stuff but now it just makes me think of lying huddled on the floor of a Bangkok bathroom and wanting to die, and only Asian beer should do that.
So has a food been ruined for you, by getting ill/associating it with a bad person or place etc?

Chili dogs. For pretty much the same reason as OP--got really sick, in a hotel room at some lodge that had no bathroom, just a sink. I was a kid, and haven't been able to eat them since. Awful memories.0

Apple juice -- same reason -- got sick right after drinking it, and can't drink it anymore.0

reese's peanut butter cups...I got so sick after eating one once that I haven't been able to eat them since0

The tops and bottoms of bananas...as a kid my friend told me when they are on the trees that bat poops get in them. I know logically that's not true but I can't get passed it.0

I'm kinda the opposite on the apple juice. I used to couldn't stand even the smell of it. One day at a friend's house, as they were serving apple juice, it came to me out of the blue - when I was a kid I was in and out of the hospital with asthma (I don't remember this) and so I called my mom and asked if they had given me a lot of apple juice in hospital. She said Oh probably. Ever since then, now that I know why, I can drink it just fine!0

Crab ravioli. My aversion is kind of unfair -- it happened the way yours did, but it's misdirected. I ate some delicious (unwashed) cherries from a roadside fruit stand, went for a hike, got back home, and started dinner. I cooked crab ravioli. I had one bite of it, then ran into the bathroom and threw up everything in my body that hadn't been factory-installed.
Intellectually I know the problem was the cherries; they had e.coli or something on them. But you put a plate of cherries in front of me and I can (and will) eat the whole thing, after washing it very very well. However, if you show me a picture of ravioli and tell me it has crab in it, I have to look away. My gag reflex is superstitious.0 -
Any meat product that has "mechanically separated chicken/beef/pork/turkey/whatever" meat listed in the ingredients. I just can't bring myself to eat it since I watched a video on how they separate it. Ugh. Blech!
BUT. I probably eat it in stuff that I haven't read the ingredients on.0 -

I couldn't stand the mere smell, let alone the taste, of cinnamon for about 8 years after a horrifying hangover from some type of cinnamon flavored liquor. I just recently started having it again in my morning coffee this year.0
