Hating Italian Food in Italy

brianamah · May 2011

Last week while on vacation in Venice, I got my first bouts of morning sickness plus an overall loss of appetite. And I don't know if it's just because Italian food was literally the ONLY option while I was there, but the sight, smell and taste of it was positively disgusting to me.

There was one day where I was so hungry my stomach was aching but I couldn't stand the thought of eating pasta or pizza... not to mention all of the particularly Venetian foods like cod fish paste on polenta or spaghetti with black squid ink sauce (*gags at thought of it*).

Happy to be back in the US now with all of the cereal and canned peaches I can eat (because that's about the only thing not turning my stomach). I may never be able to eat Italian food again!
