My mother grew up dirt poor in a third world shithole before getting a student visa and getting the fuck out of there, so she had a very different understanding of what edible meant. She used to get pissed off when I threw away moldy food instead of cutting off the mold and eating the rest, to the point she would grab food out of the waste bin that I just threw away and put it away to eat later. I used to love stir fried eggs and tomato, and she would make it for me all the time. Until one time she must have used extremely spoiled eggs or something, and I got extremely bad food poisoning. The next time she made it I couldn't taste it without feeling violently ill and gagging, and when I tried to force it down I immediately vomited. I couldn't smell or taste fried eggs or tomatoes for almost a decade after that without feeling sick to my stomach. I've had food poisoning from bad clam chowder before and had the same reaction afterwards, but I've never had it that feeling last as long or felt it as strongly since then.
