It happens to me fairly often. Usually, it’s with food I find less than appetizing, but it’s not bad by any means. I think the problem stems from the fact that I cooked for about 8 years for my job. There was a lot of standing and eating, tasting dishes as I went, cooking food that I was never going to eat while I was hungry, etc…

Does anyone else share this problem?

    I saw the nose desensitization thing too and it’s something I never considered. I will definitely try that next time I cook something and lose my appetite after standing in front of the stove for half an hour smelling everything.

      It really tracks I feel like, the stuff I made last night that I couldn’t stand… I can’t wait to tear into for dinner tonight. It’s a fucked up world hahaha.
