Taste aversion is a learned response where an individual associates the taste of a certain food with symptoms caused by a toxic, spoiled, or poisonous substance. In this scenario, Daniel's experience of feeling nauseous while eating turkey gumbo, especially due to an illness like stomach flu, could lead to the development of a taste aversion to turkey gumbo. This is because the brain is likely to associate the nausea with the food consumed, even though the illness, not the food, caused the nausea.
