I had responded to your original post but one of the mods contacted me to say it had been "lost." I'll try to address them both now.
Towards the end of our periods, the menstural flow contains older and undernourished blood cells. As they die they change from bright red to a muddy or brown color. Some women occasionally have some discharge as you describe after the period seems to have ended.
Your original question had to do with your b/f had gone down on you earlier in the day quite happily but had to stop because of a foul taste in a repeat performance at a later time. You also asked about foods to flavor yourself.
Men can modify the taste of their semen somewhat with diet; we woman cannot. Our smells and flavors are determined predominantly by our drainage from several openings in the pudenda's crack. We can control smell and flavor only by hygiene. In the case where you had been "active" earlier in the day, there would have been quite a collection of juices draining and, as exposed to air, smelling.
It is best to cleanse thoroughly at least twice a day and after bowel movements. Clear, unscented soap (not anti-bacterial) is best because it rinses easily and will not leave an irritating residue. "Pure" bar soaps are fine but they should have no perfume. Shampoo works well and rinses easily.
Our aromas and flavors do very by time of the menstrual cycle. We also tend to drain more in mid-month. Yes, these issues or yesterday's post and today's post may be related. Usually a good touch up before sex takes care of it.
