As a kid I hated meat that came on a bone and loved almost any vegetable except tomatoes.
One day we went to the house of some friends of which there were 6 kids. They were forced to eat everything on their plates. (Even if there PBJ sandwiches fell in the dirt while camping they were forced to eat them). Anyways, Mrs. B. was serving tacos. I was cool with that except for the tomatoes. I pleaded with Mrs. B., please I really really don't like them. Too bad, she said! My older brother even pleaded my case! Too bad, she said!
So I ate the first bite after a big glass of milk! Guess what folks! Tomato soup! Barfed right back up into the milk glass.
Mrs. B apologized profusely and never made me eat another tomato again.

I actually can eat some tomatoes....romas, canned, sauces, ketchup and in bruschetta. I love the thought of them but there textures can truly gag me.

My son is the same way (he has alot of sensory issues) and yes he has barfed on the table a few times from a sensory gag! But he actually gags from meat rather than vegetables!

Have a good lunch!
