Poisoned myself

Never been a big fan of fish. Avoid it when I can. Can't get used to the taste.

But [profile] murasaki_1966's a big fish eater. And it's better for me than other meat.

And it's just a Thai fish cake.

Just one Thai fish cake.

Scarfed it down, noting in passing that I still don't like the taste and the room started to swim.

Whoops - must be sympathetic magic at work.

Tried to keep up my end of the conversation whilst the others at lunch shifted in and out of focus.

Made it back to work.

Tried to work.

Gave up and went home.

Lay in bed until the ocean decided to subside.

([profile] murasaki_1966 is still trying to convince me to eat fish. She must have me insured.)

!!! maybe ur body doesn't like fish.

See, that's what I think. But it could have been something else in the fish cake as I've had fish oil supplements though with no ill effects, and there's certainly fish sauce used in Thai cooking - a friend of mine who has severe (i.e. life threatening) allergies can't touch fish or nuts so can't eat Thai food at all.

I think not liking the taste is my body telling me something.

yeah, food intolerance is different to allergy, but still means u shouldn't eat it - or not eat much.

i s'pose trying different types of fish by themselves is the answer if u want to know for sure. but a dietitian at St Vincent's years ago said don't bother, just don't.

the amt of food i eat is so restricted cos of tummy aches - i used to think i was the fussiest eater and now i know why.
