Yes. In grade school, I would sit down with my buddy at lunchtime. Every day he had a boloney sandwich. That sandwich had the overpowering smell of garlic. It would gag a maggot. It was awful.
The closest I've ever had to a nightmare about food was the result of a consultation with a vet. That day, I'd just bought a microscope and a tome on equine helminths from him. He'd shown me how to make a fecal float from fresh horse manure, how to prepare it as a slide, which lens to use on the scope, and how to adjust it. Then I'd spent hours looking at the book's photos of intestinal worms and reading about them.
That night, I dreamed of a plate of spaghetti pomodoro. The strands of pasta started to move with a will of their own. I woke in fright.
