Did you or anyone you know use COVID-induced loss of smell and taste to reset opinions on foods?

I thought of this when I saw some deviled eggs this past weekend. I've hated eggs since an early childhood force-feeding incident, and I can't even tolerate the smell of them, which means I can't make this dish that my husband and child absolutely love.

It suddenly occurred to me that it would have been a nice bright spot if I had had COVID anosmia - I could have finally made them deviled eggs! But then I wondered if I could have used it to reset my hatred of eggs entirely - it's not the texture that bothers me, it's the taste - and then wondered if anybody has actually done that.
