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.)

I threw out some clams the other day because they were green, but with fish cakes it's all mushed up and you can't tell, can you?

Hope you're feeling better.

!!! maybe ur body doesn't like fish.
I've been going to RPA for food problems and they say if the tummy reacts, don't eat that again. they analyse to figure out what, but in general, if it causes an ache, don't.
they reckon every food has chemicals in it and blah de blah, etc. some react badly.
fish/seafood is one of the things that can cause problems.
could be something else in the fishcake, though.
sorry - am a food geek/bore at the moment cos of RPA visits.

Any chance you might have a peanut allergy? Thai food often has peanuts in the sauce... Of course this won't wash if you eat peanut butter sandwiches every day.

He has reacted badly to non-seafood Thai before. But you don't know if they failed to clean the knives properly between cutting the chicken and the seafood. Thai fish cakes have all sorts of things in them, which is why I'm wondering if it was prawns or the wrong type of fish. The omega 3 fish oil caspusle didn't bring on this reaction. MMM. Better not to experiment. I need you alive,as does Trixie.

Listen to the wisdom of your body young Jedi!
If you need to defend you non-fish choices, just cite what eating fish did to me.
Fish can really mess your head up man, just don't do fish!
