I've never had a cheeseboard.

A friend was shocked that I've never had a cheeseboard in my life. I like some cheeses(cheddar, feta, mozzarella,manchego, emmental etc) but not enough to eat it in chunks and I don't care for things like Brie, Stilton, Gorgonzola, goat cheese etc. Also after a main the last thing I want to order is something so intensely savoury.

Are there any other popular foods that you haven't tried?

Avocado, never eaten it, never intend to.

Very little I won’t eat or try otherwise

SallyOMalley · 07/10/2019 17:41

Peanut butter! I dislike nuts so much I can't even bring myself to try it ...

MrsGrindah · 07/10/2019 17:41

Ooh I’m the other way..after a main I can’t bear the thought of something sweet! I always order the cheeseboard!

Can’t bear the concept of having a sorbet between meals either.

Oh I was invited to a colleagues house. She loved to show off about her husband who earned a six figure salary. She took me on a tour of their apartment and told me to take pictures to show the rest of the team :/ and she said she'd be making dinner, there were a few of us there, and she brought out a cheese board. That is not dinner.

Your friend was shocked you've never tried a cheeseboard and you're not keen on all cheeses? Are they easily shocked? Confused

I despise all kinds of olives. Everyone else I know loves 'em.

I detest cheese unless it's melted!!

Haven't tried olives, avocado, papaya

My Friend is a cheese addict. She thought that I'd have tried one at some time, even the basic little readymade Supermarket boards but I never have. I tried to go into a cheese store once to buy some bread and I had to leave as quickly as I entered. The smell was unbelievable. I'm in no hurry to try one

I've never had a lot noodle.

I didn't try olives for years no matter how many people told me they were nice.
So eventually I tried one at a party , it took all my willpower to not spit it straight back into the bowl .

I have never tried a lot of exotic meats like ostrich, alligator, shark .

Oh I love a cheese board! I have a lovely welsh slate one. An old roof tile from my cottage, cleaned and polished and engraved.

SamBeckett · 07/10/2019 19:44

I love cheese , and will have a cheese and Italian sausage type platter instead of a evening meal.

Raera · 07/10/2019 19:48

I too thought by the title it was the actual board.
Clearly you don't have friends and family like mine, I get at least one with the accompanying strangely shaped knives every Christmas!
The last one was for our wedding anniversary, engraved with the wrong date!

SuzieBishop · 07/10/2019 19:48

I’ve also never had a pot noodle!!! I hate Tunnocks Teacakes and I’m Scottish 😂

Stick to your guns peanut butter is disgusting, and I like nuts! It just tastes like crap no matter what type of nut they use.

I've never had champagne. Wine is disgisting enough, I won't be trying anything that tastes even slightly like it again.

hopeishere · 07/10/2019 19:51

I've never eaten tuna either fresh or tinned.

Yes, cheese board sorry.

I'm with the olive haters though I could sit and eat peanut butter from the jar with a spoon. Cashew nut butter is even better.

Try filling the channel in a stick of celery with peanut butter and munch!

PralineCookie · 07/10/2019 19:59

I will definitely try that, thank you.

Not had Nando's, KFC, lots of sushi as I hate raw fish.

IHaveBrilloHair · 07/10/2019 20:03

I'll try anything, I love trying new foods and actively seek them out.
I'm not snobby about food though and will happily eat supernoodles and I bloody love Bernard Matthews products.

MissLadyM · 07/10/2019 20:05

I hate tropical fruit and avocados!

Leftielefterson · 07/10/2019 20:06

Cheese boards for the win, I love them! Many a time I’d come home and a cheeseboard and a glass of wine would await me. These days I can’t suffer the calories.
