    Try adding a teaspoon of sugar to the pot.

    Not without cooking another load and potentially ruining it, which seems a bit wasteful. And leaves me without my tea. Will have a play with smaller quantities at some point.
    Not on any meds or anything.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Could you try adding passata so you can rule out the canned element.
    Worth getting another opinion though as all sorts affects your taste from sinus infections on.
    Also if you are adding dried herbs have they gone off?

    Coriander can be a culprit, if you are using that?

    What kind of sauce pan are you using and if it's non stick is the lining wearing away? Next thing I'm wondering how you wash up - are you using the same liquid or tablets if it's a machine and are you rinsing like normal!

    I'm fascinated about why this is happening! Though I appreciate a metallic tasting meal isn't good.



    Some sleeping pills leave you with a metallic taste, you're not taking them are you?

    Yes, I used to be OK with coriander actually but now can't stand it. It can ruin an entire meal for me if fresh leaves have been added, dried is OK in small amounts.

    Agree with sinus issues causing funny flavours too - used to get chronic infections before surgery and the manky taste would be a big clue an infection was brewing!

    I'm fine with some amount of it, fresh or dried, leaves or seed, once it gets past a certain point the food tastes of soap or washing up liquid...ick
