The problem is we have no idea if an animal was sick or has parasites, especially once assembled in the store or on-plate at a restaurant. We all know what "off" tasting food tastes like... if you still eat it, well, that's gastrointestinal roulette & should have instead been returned to the store/kitchen.

You probably slowly developed an aversion to it as you got older, our bodies when brand new and shiny can withstand a lot of abuse and substandard use, lol.Nothing to do with age. Most of the issues I've had were in my 20s. What I found when beyond 20 were articles talking about critters affecting food, even if it looked fine to the eye & was top price. I never got ill eating raw fish, but those articles come to mind, along with the microscope pics showing said critters... haven't had it since & it's doubtful I'll eat it anytime soon. Haven't eaten sushi in 10-yrs now... almost bought it last wk... can't get the stories out of my head.
With steak tartar... I miss it, but it's a 50-50 proposition that I'm going to have to linger near the facilities in a few hours. Sure, our bodies change, but I far too often see recalls or can smell that beef is off (particularly at my local Sam's), so I wouldn't trust it cooked either. I don't think it's me... it's poor quality product.
It's fine. I eat less animals now, my grocery bills are lower, I'll stick with that for now. Then again, I've also bought dicey bulk produce. Another issue, but it's a shame what's happened to our food... additives, pesticides, quality & availability.
I'm fine, not starving... explaining, not complaining. As long as I don't need to eat mushrooms, brussel sprouts, milk & liver... I'm good.

The one food I recall disliking intensely was okra, just slimy and slippery ickiness.

I really can't stand any sort of cold soups/noodle dishes.

I always make German rouladen for Christmas dinner, family tradition. A friend of mine's family tradition is to make a pot of chitlins. One year we decided to make extra and traded dishes with each other.
He got the better end of that deal. He was in agreement. Once and done, no more chitlins for me.

I once ordered pork intestines from a Chinese restaurant. It was a grave mistake. The faint hint of fecal aroma was borderline nauseating.

It's almost impossible to get rid of all of that "barnyard" scent from intestines.
They can be super cleaned and safe to eat and will still have that unmistakable whiff.
I've tried the Chinese version and also tried a Guyanese version.
The latter was cooked in a ton of strong spices, so that scent was masked.
I found both interesting, though TBH, I wouldn't go out of my way to order it, lol.

True, although, to be fair, anything fried & slathered with dressing/gravy tastes good.

I'm with you on the noodles... think we're in the minority, however... no one can understand why I avoid cold macaroni salad & potato salad. Could never eat them even as a kid.
It's like coffee for me... hot, great... iced, nope.

Yes to the bolded above. They were spiced up quite a bit too but still, there was an unfortunate bit of that scent happening, though minimal.

True for the chitlins and we only sampled them. Fortunately he didn't share a big portion of them, enough to have a taste and decide they weren't for us. He got the best end of our trade, for sure.
