Sorry to *** in here, but I deleted your previous posting.

Don't make yourself out to be worse than you are. Following your onion
odyssey, with great interest, I in no way gain the impression that it is
necessarily a phobia or even need have a psychological basis at all. It
might very well be a warning bodily reaction of allergic type or some
other form of metabolic issue for which the basis is simply not yet
known. Were it otherwise, you would probably be able to trace the whole
thing back to a very vivid and specific incident. (My liquidation is in
the mail.)

Bit presumptuous, don't you think. The poster should know if he has a
phobia (irrational fear which interferes with normal functioning) or not.


lol - he's actually quite right on both counts! Onions do make me ill so
it's wise for me to avoid them (I can recall an excellent Spanish meal I had
for but was very ill about 40 mins later and it turned out the stock had
been made with onions) and I've always been like that for as long as I can
remember.

Unfortunately I can also remember an incident when I must have been 6 or 7 I
think (though I have almost no memories of my childhood) where my parents,
knowing I hated onions, forced me to eat some mashed potato with onion in
it. I still recall the 3 pieces sliding down my throat - and then projectile
vomiting them back up! That turned a healthy and sensible aversion into a
(relatively mild) phobia - but I'd rather be mildly phobic of something I'm
allergic to than like it despite the bad effects, cos then I'd really miss
being able to eat it :)

You know, the only food that I was ever forced to eat that made me
puke it up was brussell sprouts. I also had to eat squash on
Thanksgiving which totally ruined the whole meal experience. I dreaded
Thanksgiving for that reason. Always that darned squash.

But I LOVE onions! I think I'll make some peppers and onions later..
saute them and maybe do up some pepper steak. Yum. Funny how we like
certain things and not others isn't it? I wonder if someone could
hypnotize us to like certain foods... hmm.

For my cousin I remember him sitting at our table and my dad forcing
him to stay there till he ate his split pea soup. Poor kid.
