I have such bad lactose intolerance that just smelling milk makes me want to throw up. The brain has developed an aversion to it. Not my proudest moment in life, but on the spur of the moment I smelled my husband's ice cream cone and dry heaving in a public place was a bit embarrassing. I'm not the sharpest pen in the box.

I haven't eaten fish since I was 5 following surgery for appendicitis. First meal was fish, mashed potato and ice cream. Threw up the fish immediately after eating it. Never again and I'm now 72! My mother often insisted that I ate fish fingers. No I bloody well don't and never have. She really used to anger me with her wilful deafness.

I love the "OP vomited all over mom" part!

Tried steak and kidney pie once, at a lovely pub in Halifax, Nova Scotia. My own choice, and I knew there was a very high chance the kidneys would taste like p**s. And they did. I finished it anyway (I mean, the steak and the pie parts were fantastic) and am very happy to never order that ever again in my lifetime.

My Mom & sister are naturally meat aversive. They do eat meat, but on their terms. My Dad hated cucumbers and zucchini. I have food intolerances, mainly anything cow related including diary, cucumbers, watermelon, etc. I find it interesting that certain foods I loved my body no longer does. But some of them are things people in my family naturally don't like. Makes you wonder about genetics and diets.

This poor lady and her brother have had a medical problem since they were babies and their mother was an idiot that day. For some people it's textures that will make them gag or puke. My son has ADD and Tourettes at 33 he still won't eat applesauce, yogurt, cake frosting and cool whip are the top 4. When he was a kid we would have to scrape the frosting off his piece of birthday cake.

Been there. I’ve always been disgusted by cooked peas. Mom was the cook, so she knew and never put any on my plate. One night she was working so Dad cooked and didn’t believe me that I would throw up if I ate the peas. He made me. Needless to say, he never made me eat them again. 😉

It can often be a texture thing, not necessarily the specific food. We talked my young son into finally trying mashed potatoes at a restaurant once and we ALL paid the price for that one, including surrounding tables! 30 years later and he's never touched them since. For me, it's mushrooms. Veg masquerading as meat. Disgusting texture, no matter how they're prepared. And the smell of cooked mushrooms...🤢🤮

If the kidneys smell of urine, they haven't been prepared properly. Tbf, I'd only ever eat it if my mother had prepped it, and don't at all now. Sales of steak & kidney pies are mainly into care homes now with the wholesale company I work at.

At first I wanted to say it's weird that grown woman gave in to such demands. Then I realized from the comments OP was 12yo at the time! Something similar happened to me when I was around that age. My mother is also the type of person that would not get "no" as an answer in terms of food preferences... She used to make this horrible concoction of warm pasta, cold twaróg (think cottage cheese but with less liquid) and fruit or fruit joghurt on top. Truly disgusting. But she insisted we ALL liked it, when in reality SHE liked it, my brother and father didn't mind, and I was nauseated by mere sight of this. Usually I would just refuse and fix something else for myself (she wasn't happy), but one time she insisted... After a while I gave in, but (predictably) instantly vomited on my own plate and table all around. She finally got the message 🤦‍♀️😆

How did the mother not know?

Vegan propaganda. Kidneys are not sliced in half and put in a pie. They are diced. And the moron that claims they ordered "kidney pie", no such thing exists. And why would you expect such a thing to be kidney BEANS if it said KIDNEY? And who would/could eat such a thing? Clear Bull Sh1t.
