Oh, no--no, no, no. We will NOT have another thread about sandwiches! Been there, done that, and it was awful. Sorry Jackie, as Trom says, it must have been before my time too. and you know how things go, cycles. The discussion was about phobias and the word for the fear of PB stuck on your palate before it evolved/regressed.

Because "cibus" is food (from my Latin days), I'd say something related to food, but being a fear, is it related to fear of food? Like Anorexia? Some sort of food-related disorder. I confess, because honesty is important, that I looked it up in my dictionary, but it is not there. (It is not on the scroll down list, that is.) And that is as far as I looked and had it been I would not post. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/phobia

I wish I'd learnt Latin. I think you must be correct Ts.... Cibophobia might be the fear of food! it should be noted, at this point, that phobia is being too narrowly defined as 'fear', to wit (from AHD4): 2) A strong fear, dislike, or aversion so cibophobia is more likely defined as :dislike or aversion to food: link
