Went through a period where I thought everything tasted pretty much bad, I'd ask dinner companions thinking it was my taste buds being shot, and they confirmed it really did taste bad!
Some things still don't seem to taste the same, thousand island dressing, steaks for some reason taste differently. Went to Ruth's Chris for a dinner a couple of weeks ago, had what should have been a great steak, probably it was, but it just didn't do it for me anymore. Bummer
