Well, I'm fresh off of a brutal 24 hours, in which I had the worst stomach flu that you can imagine. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say I'm completely cleaned out

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that I either got the stomach flu from changing my daughter's diaper, or it's a case of food poisoning. The foods that I ate the other day that made my stomach feel queasy were divinity and a honey bread. Even if they are not the culprits, I can never eat them again!

Here's my "never again" list:

- Peanut Butter Chicken (after a horrible experience at a Chinese buffet)
- Divinity
- Honey Bread

Have you ever gotten sick from a food? Would you ever eat it again?

Yes, I have gotten sick from food. I would try the food again if I find out of the reason for being sick had nothing to do with being allergic to it and I really liked the taste of it.

May I ask what divinity is?

I just would never do Southern Comfort.

I have reported restaurants for food poisoning several times and each time
within 2 weeks the Health Dept has gotten back to me to say they corrected the infraction...
twice poor refrigeration...eggs and clam chowder, btw.
One I remember... simply poisoned by undiluted disinfectant they wiped the
chopping block with....Mid Easterners at Greek restaurant not reading directions
on a 5 gallon disinfectant. 1 cap to a gallon.

But, nope I continue eating scrambled eggs/ omelets, only, at restaurants,
never over easy, tho....and the others...like if the chowder is piping hot.

Back when I was a kid, you were able to buy these mixes to make granola bars. I would steal a bite or two from the batter before they were baked. One day, I got the bright idea to make it myself and the heck with baking, ate it all raw.

An hour later it all came up. Blech. And never again could eat chocolate chip granola bars. raw or baked.

I have been sick various times of course but never that exacting in the food item I had such as the above.

I've certainly been made ill from food poisoning (and it really sucks, doesn't it?), but I don't hold the recipe to blame. There are no foods that I've enjoyed that are off my list.

Now...it's been decades since I last drank Southern Comfort, and they'll be tossing snowballs in hell before I touch that stuff again --but that's another story, isn't it?

After drinking that as teens, we naturally assumed that MD stood for Mad Dog.

The only dirty habit I never even tried.

Take it from someone in health care: No substance on Earth has caused more ill health and broken hearts than tobacco.

The last time I got sick that way was after eating a hamburger and fruit salad. It was 4 years ago and to this day the thought of a hamburger fills me with trepidation. No one else got sick although we all ate the same stuff, so I'm not even sure it was food poisoning, but still....
