Heck, I seem to feel like that *every* time I eat out. Including
in the cafeteria at work. About half the time, the headache intensifies
until nothing will make it go away except throwing up. Ick.
As you might imagine, I don't eat out a lot. I guess my tolerance
for food additives has plummeted since I switched to eating mostly
steamed veggies. They're easy to fix, that's all.
I won't even mention what happened the last time I ate corned
beef. (Oops. Too late.)
