Learn English – What word to use when you don’t want to eat more food

word-choice

Which word to use when you don't want to eat more food even though you are not full yet, because the food is too oily and fatty.

Best Answer

The concept you are asking about is probably not quite expressible in English by a single adjective, but "I've lost my appetite" is a phrase you can use to imply that you are not eating any more not because you are full, but rather because you cannot make yourself eat any more.

My other suggestion was applicable when relating the event later (to emotionally uninvolved parties): "I was really hungry, but after the first bite I was already thoroughly disgusted." However, somewhat more naturally, you'd describe the food rather than yourself, as "disgustingly greasy" or similar.

Note that "greasy" by itself is not necessarily negative by itself: there are some dishes that are delicious only when they are greasy.
