This reminds me of a time when my family was invited to dinner.  The meat was
lovely rare roast beef ... and I couldn't eat it.  I just wasn't hungry at all.
 After the meal was over, I got very hungry, and would have gladly eaten, but I
didn't dare ask.  Much later, I understood the reason:  They served drinks
before dinner, and I got and drank, ginger ale.  This killed my appetite very
efficiently.  I had never before had anything to drink before dinner.

I've had this sort of thing happen occasionally, too. Sometimes in these cases,
I feel sort of leaden for a short while, as if my stomach had decided to take a
short nap or something.

That's what others have said.  All I can say is, Hmpf.

Agreed, if you happen to like those strong flavorings.
