I've never eaten beetroot, cauliflower or pickled eggs.

Prawns, I just can't get past how they look.

AutoIncorrect · 10/01/2021 20:19

All seafood apart from cod.

Bloodybridget · 10/01/2021 20:23

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

rhowton · 10/01/2021 20:24

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.

Gossipgirl2 · 10/01/2021 20:26

Scrambled egg but I don’t like any form of eggs really

squarepinks · 10/01/2021 20:27

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.

Dawninglory · 10/01/2021 20:32

Sardines 🤢

Kittytheteapot · 10/01/2021 20:32

Tofu
Harissa paste

SagelyNodding · 10/01/2021 20:33

Baked beans... Just the thought of it makes me feel ill Envy

JustCallMeGriffin · 10/01/2021 20:33

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).

zeitgeista · 10/01/2021 20:33

and never had paté either

likeamillpond · 10/01/2021 20:34

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

Floralnomad · 10/01/2021 20:34

Baked beans , pickled onion ( or eggs ) , gherkins, oysters, mussels .

PhantomErik · 10/01/2021 20:36

Any meat or fish.

I've been vegetarian since birth.

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

ShowOfHands · 10/01/2021 20:36

Scrambled eggs or hard boiled eggs (I eat them poached though)
Prawns
Shrimps
Lobster

If we include drinks too...

Alcohol bar a sip of gin last year
Anything fizzy (never tried coke or lemonade or any other carbonated drink)

noblegreenk · 10/01/2021 20:37

Lettuce

usedandabusedx1000 · 10/01/2021 20:37
