When I was a kid, working in a mall, there was this french fry place across from us that made AMAZING french fries, with this house made dijon sauce. Just phenomenal.
You could buy a POUND of fries, so the other guys and me on the shift would get a pound and split it.
Except I'd get sick from eating them. Only me, the other guys were fine.
OK, process of elimination...
Fries by themselves? Fine.
Fries w/ ketchup? Fine.
Fries w/ dijon sauce? Horribly sick, puking, the whole bit.
Now, you might already know, dijon sauce is made with white wine.
Ok, maybe it's the alcohol? I don't drink so... let's test the theory...
Had A beer. One. Within 30 to 45 minutes I was throwing up everything I had eaten since I was 12. Was sick for 3 days.
Turns out, my liver doesn't have the enzymes to correctly process alcohol.
Alcohol -> Enzymes -> Acetaldehyde
I have those, Acetaldehyde is what makes you sick when you're hung over. Cousin to formaldehyde.
Acetaldehyde -> Enzymes -> Sugar and water.
Those I'm missing. :(

Huh, neat! And by neat I mean, well, not so neat
So sick! Literally
Wow, I've never heard of that before.
Apparently common in Asians, weird for me not being Asian.
