When it comes to food, everybody's got their preferences. Some don't like the taste of mustard, while others avoid meat based on principle. But to be afraid — legitimately scared — of certain food-related things strikes us as odd. Nevertheless, these phobias are real. While they're few and far between, there are people out there who lose sleep over many weird food fears. Here's a quick list of the oddest ones we could dig up! #1. Arachibutyrophobia The fear of having peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth.
#2. Mageirocopahobia The fear of cooking. #3. Acerophobia The fear of sourness. #4. Carnophobia The fear of eating meat.
#5. Phagophobia The fear of swallowing.
