:( that is so sad. My mom was not the greatest cook when I was growing up--she tended to leave spices out of things. I recall the bean soup that tasted like nothing, and tilapia with sauce that was nothing but cream because she kept paring down the herbs in it. But I think I went the opposite way; for a long time, I could scarf down even bland, off-flavor food without disliking it, because it was something I was used to. It's only recently that I've been able to admit it to myself when something I eat just tastes bad.

omg, exploding head syndrome D: I just get this sort of tickling, sharp sensation in my jaw and neck. Funny, I can bite into lemons and limes and they just taste normally sour; it must be the combination of sweet and sour in the orange.
