If you hear somebody mention something gross while eating, can you continue eating?

[tearypastel]

Most of my family freaks out if somebody mentions vomit/bugs/generally anything gross while eating food. My mum will start to gag, even. They all say that it puts them off eating, however i can can talk about anything 'gross' and continue to stuff my face. I was wondering if any people were like me or my family, and if there was a name for it or something. Anybody have any thoughts?

my mom made us an amazing pork roast one night, and I was enjoying it up until my brother started mentioning pig intestines. i was a vegan for like a month after that lol

 

[Romaki]

Sure, someone juat saying something is no problem.

 

[visibleghost]

yes. i'm not really grossed out by people talking about things that much, a few exceptions would be stuff that would be in the food (like bugs or something) and maybe if they were extremely graphic.

I can keep eating. It can maybe be a little off putting depending on what's said but it's still the same food so

It depends what it is, it's normally if I see something disgusting it stops me eating. But then if somebody is talking about picking their nose or whatever I don't think I would be able to carry on eating

It depends on the food I'm eating and what is being discussed. If someone talks about a dead body with intestines hanging out of it while I'm eating spaghetti, I'll probably throw up.

 

[Fleshy]

Yes. People speaking about things doesn't gross me out. I've seen and watched watched gross/graphic things while eating too and that doesn't put me off either, I'm not easily grosses out at all.

i stop eating for a few seconds but i get over it and finish my food

Blood, glands, puss.

"I lost my appetite"

In other words, yes.

 

[Chicha]

I usually either pretend I didn't hear the gross comment or just say that we're eating. I typically keep eating cause I'm hungry.

 

[kayleee]

No I completely lose my appetite when people talk about gross things

 

[Xara]

It all depends on what is said.

If anyone mentions vomit or vomiting, then it causes more of an anxious feeling than a grossed out one

[GalacticGhost]

probably depends on what it is. if it's stuff like, ahem, what usually gets flushed down the toilet, then i wouldn't really be put off, because my sisters go on about that stuff all the time (they're at the age where they find that stuff funny, so...)

but i'd probably be put off by some other stuff. and even then, it might only be for a few seconds and then i'd go back to eating.

 

[Aquari]

yea, the only way i'll stop eating is if im full

 

[Bowie]

I'm usually the one who brings it up, to be honest.

(Joking, joking.)

 

[ShinyYoshi]

It really depends on what was mentioned that depends on whether I can continue eating or not. There's only been a few instances where someone said something that really made me lose my appetite but I can't remember what was said. It had to be pretty bad though.

 

[Sanaki]

No, I don't get put off easily. Sounds weird but i dont know lol

 

[vel]

I usually make a joke like "we're eating here??" but I don't mind too much.
