Foods you’ve never tried .... Silly lighthearted thread!

[Sunnytimesahead]

Recently I happened to mention to a colleague the fact I’d never tried Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. He seemed totally amazed and I felt like a bit of a weirdo, more than normal anyway! So I promptly went out the next day and bought some and loved the two flavours I tried, I am a new convert and will be trying all the other flavours now, bang goes the diet!
So it got me thinking about other foods and drinks I’ve never tried that are pretty mainstream but I’ve never had. Some examples:

• Tea and coffee - Yes I know! But i’m not keen on hot drinks and just couldn’t bring myself to try drinking them.
• Olives - Strange as I like olive oil but just never thought of trying actual olives!
• Squid and that kind of thing - Just can’t even think about eating this!
• Fresh tomatoes - I just don’t like the smell and look of them! I’m perfectly fine with cooked tomatoes in a pasta sauce or tomato purée on a pizza base and that kind of thing.

How about you? Am I the only one who has led a somewhat sheltered life in more ways than one?!

Avocado

I've never tried avocado - yet I still haven't managed to save a pile of money not having avocado on toast

Escargot was like eating mushrooms that had been steeped in sand

Until recently I had never tried avocado. Was like chewing butter

I've never had sushi. In fact I'd like to make a friend who is a connoisseur of Japanese and Thai food (which I also have limited experience of) to go to restaurants with because I just get overwhelmed with the menu even though I'm an adventurous sort

Tripe, brains, most offal to be honest. The thought horrifies me.

I do love an oyster though!

Kefir. Not that I wouldn't want to try it. I just have never had the opportunity to try it. Maybe I'll pick some up next time I see it.

Agree with others... Porridge,
cottage cheese
Tripe
Oysters
Sushi
It's all a texture thing with me..

Marmalade. My mum loves It but I just can't try it. I have no idea why I just cant

Lobster

To be honest most fish & seafood. I can just about tolerate salmon. Tried calamari for the first time and it was too fishy/rubbery for me

Haggis
Roast Pork
Pork Scratchings
Pork Chops (spot a theme lol?)
Beer
Whisky
Those cheese ball snacks things
Liver sausage
Black pudding
Faggots
Tripe
Chicken Livers
Trout

Tripe, oysters, whelks, squid, cuttlefish, octopus and escargot.

I tried brains, they were like blood flavoured blancmange.
Horsemeat is meh. Its got the texture of beef with half the taste.
Frog legs are nice, like chicken that tastes of fish.

Turkey because it's just too ugly! Cheese because it's just wrong

You really haven’t missed much. Turkey is my least-favourite meat. It’s dry, tasteless and I eat it once a year, at most.

Whelks
Jellied eels
Okra
Pop tarts
Pickled eggs

I think Ive tried most things - octopus, shark, seafood vegetables like dulse, carageen moss, liver, kidney, bone broth, crayfish, l’escargot, rabbit 🤦‍♀️

Mostly all the above on holidays or with friends from abroad. I love trying new foods, although Im following a mostly meat free diet these days for my own reasons.

But I have never ever tried COFFEE , and never plan to either, I dislike the smell of it . Finito. 😆

Oysters. They look just like a shell full of snot. 🤮

Tripe
Jellied eels
Snails
Oysters
Mussels
Lobster
Haggis
Frogs legs
Sushi

I became vegetarian nearly 40 years ago so will never try any of them now (not that I want to)

How has someone not tried CHEESE!!! Have you never had a pizza either?

Escargot, goats cheese, odri (stomach lining of sheep/cow) the smell reminds me of tripe that we used to feed the dogs when I was a kid!

Oh and haggis!!!

I can't think of anything, I love trying new foods.

marmite, rabbit, sea food, uncooked salmon, pickled onion, tomato juice.. ew

Custard

Kebab

Frogs legs
Sea urchin

Twiglets 😳

Pate
Any kind of soft/smelly/blue cheese
Cottage cheese

Oh and rabbit!
