Something terrible has happened. Over the last 2 days, everything salty that I eat tastes weird. It's bitter and soapy, and for a second I thought I had developed the horrible aversion to cilantro that a few of my friends complain about. My coffee tasted terrible. I even threw away a half eaten cracker with cheese because it just tasted wrong.
Something was clearly amiss.
I couldn't figure out what was wrong, me and T had eaten exactly the same things, but he hadn't been having any similar taste disturbances
It had gone on for 18 hours by now and I had had enough. So, naturally, I googled "everything tastes bitter".
The culprit?
PINE NUTS!?!!!! I have PINE MOUTH?! What in the world is that?!
At least I have wikipedia to thank for solving the mystery. Apparently this is a condition that can last from between 2 days to a week. Maybe it's a indication of my in general very happy life, but this is the worst thing that has happened to me in about a year.
Ugh, I guess I have no choice now but to eat random things in my pantry until I decide that the taste has gone away.
I've heard of this! Must buy them from mediterranean i think.
