Pretend it’s just weird candy. So if it’s sugar-coated ants, just pretend it’s sugar-coated candy.
Come up with distracting thoughts, such as things you can’t wait to be doing, favorite games you enjoy playing or destinations you’d like to visit.
Open the windows and let a nice, fresh breeze flow through. Sometimes the build-up of strong odor is what makes you feel sick, and if air flow can dissipate this, it might help you manage to eat the food. . . just. Avoid sniffing the food or being too close to it for too long if you can’t stand its odor.
If you don’t like it because it’s slimy or squashy, eat it without putting it on your tongue.
If you’re the chef, even better. Be creative and find ways of hiding the foul food well and truly deep inside your baked or cooked concoction. Shave/grate/chop/peel, etc. the food to minute size and hide away. Strong seasonings might help make the food’s flavor “disappear” when eaten.
You will probably need to be over 16 or so to get away with this one.
