When I was taking “Intro to Neuroscience” in undergrad, I remember the professor briefly introduced us to the phenomenon of a person eating their favorite food while sick but then—once they’re healthy—they find themselves either feeling sick whenever eating that favorite food again or just not wanting to eat that favorite food again.

I think it’s called “conditioned taste aversion”.
