I'm too lazy to look for it, but I was thinking that I had seen a reference to Garcia having had a taste aversion experience with licorice when he was a kid. It was not portrayed as important to his research, just a bit of trivia.

"Sauce bearnaise phenomenon" was a term generated by Garcia and Revusky (1971).
and had noting to do with Seligman. Mike Lavin

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.
