Actually, I think Seligman did use the term in the introduction to his "Biological Boundries" book - and as I remember it, the story he told was personal.....

This having been said, taste aversion learning has been around a lot longer than Garcia - Garcia demonstrated the asymmetrical stimulus sensitivities, but he did not discover taste aversion.

Actually, it might have been Martin Seligman, which is why this was sometimes called the "sauce bearnaise phenomenon"

Garcia's taste aversion learning may be another. I heard that he got
the idea after getting sick following a restaurant meal.
