This is one of the weirdest things to happen to me, and it's terribly so here's some words of warning:
Yesterday lunch i suddenly got a really metallic bad taste in the back of my mouth. Stuck with me all day, so when I get home I google it. Turns out there's something called 'Pine Mouth' coming from eating chinese pine nuts, or possibly any pine nuts that gone off.
It tastes seriously bad, and according to google it'll last for days / weeks. I'm hoping for days, weeks would utter suck.
So, when you buy pine nuts, make sure they're proper fresh (they should taste nutty, not sweet) and aren't from china. This taste sucks, it's awful. bleurgh!

or just google it, it's all over the internets
