Does she have an issue with any other food in the same way?

Some people have a mild quercetin allergy and become hyper sensitive to it. It is not that they cannot eat the food, they can just taste something like onions or cranberry in a dish no matter how diluted and that is what their tastebuds fixate on. Quercetin is a flavonoid that is found in onions, hackberry, fennel, cranberry, and a variety of other places.

Not only that, but certain foods might give someone a "sensation" in addition to taste. (For example, consuming onions might cause a person's mouth to tingle, head to ache, etc. regardless of whether he or she "tasted" the onion flavor.)

A buddy took me out for a birthday lunch today at his favorite sushi joint, and I was impressed beyond words. Four courses (maybe more, I'm still in a food coma) but the stand out was the uni, or sea urchin. Best I've had in my life.

I'm still floored on how great the food, prices, and presentations were.

My new go to to impress people for sure.

Just got back from a delicious brunch at the Washington Duke. Shrimp, bacon, and corn chowder; quiche with sausage, gruyere, and cheddar; various bready items; and a run at the dessert table. Best part: free.

I made tuna stuffed chicken tonight, which is essentially a chicken kiev with the herb butter replaced with tuna salad. Turned out quite delicious.

That would have been appropriate, but I'm a Starkist man.
