A Random Wednesday Conversation Starter

Last week, Roger blogged about peanut butter:

Here’s something I may not have mentioned; I don’t particularly like peanut butter. Actually, that’s not true – I HATE peanut butter. Odd thing is that I loved it as a kid, specifically Jif. I remember eating it when I was three or four. I think I must have had too much at some point, because now the smell makes me nauseous, and the taste is intolerable. I’m not allergic; I can eat peanuts, though I don’t love them.

Peanut butter is one of those foods that I just can’t fathom disliking, but that’s not my question. I’m interested in Roger’s hypothesis that he ate enough as a kid to permanently dissuade him from eating it again. Now, I can’t think of any foods that large quantities consumed in childhood ruined for me, but The Wife is the same way with bologna; she won’t go near it now. So, do you have any foods that you OD’d on as a kid, and now the thought of eating them makes you ill (figuratively or literally)?
