Peanut butter, tuna mayonnaise, marzipan, fruit cake. And lots more I'm sure!

Tuna!! I just can't bring myself to do it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just hate the thought of it, and the smell, and the colour. I eat all other foods.

Oysters. How can anybody bring themselves to put that mess in their mouth? I couldn't force myself to eat them.

I've never had a pickled egg - but I wouldn't really count them as normal.
Never had brains but I'd probably try a forkful for curiosity if they came my way.
Can't think of anything normal that i've never tried.

All seafood. I can't stand the smell so can't imagine I'd like the taste.

Curry (of any kind). Again the smell turns my stomach, plus even black pepper is too "hot" for me so can't see me liking the spices.

In fact there's probably loads. Not remotely adventurous with food much to my husband's annoyance (but clearly isn't a deal breaker after 20 years together).

I've never had a Smoothie and have no intention of ever having one.
They sound disgusting.
Give me a Milkshake any day.

Any meat or fish.

I've been vegetarian since birth.

Don't think I've ever tried celeriac, it doesn't really appeal.
