Interesting. It was 1985 for me and I was in an El Torrito restaurant having ordered some kind of beef tacos. Took one bite and haven't eaten anything that has
eyes (with the exception of potatoes) since.
As I think about that I wonder if a black eyed pea counts. I can do w/o them along with Brussel sprouts. I guess that includes insects too. I admit I have been curious but never ate an insect that I know of.
I quit eating bacon and any meats that were blended like bologna long before that. How we got "baloney" out of that I will never know. But it it what it is, "baloney." As Patrick says, "ground up random animal parts in a sleeve of even more animal parts."
Patrick, you must have needed salt is all I can think of. Interesting reading suggests stress causes a salt craving.
