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

Sorry. Stupid phone posted too early.

I think I have eaten everything mentioned apart from pickled eggs which sound vile.

I was laughed at though by my extended family when I said I had never eaten anything from Greggs.

Pickled eggs (there seem to be lots of us)

Not sure if this counts as normal but I have never tried eels and would never ever be able to bring myself to eat them. I can barely even look at pictures of them, they look so horrible.

What do you think sushi is?
Raw fish?

Tinned beans. I have always hated beans in the dishes from my country and coming to the UK, tinned beans smell even worse!!! Confused

Snails definitely count as ‘normal food’ If you’re French and I have never tried them. I’m normally a ‘try anything once’ person, but the sliminess would just make me retch before I got the thing in my mouth.

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

Peanut butter - I always tell people I don't like it, but I've never actually tried!

I don't like cheese, and didn't try pizza until I was 15- ended up having it due to circumstances beyond my control (long story!), didn't want to try it but that's all there was- and obviously it started a love affair that has never ended!

Still don't like normal cheese though 😂

So far tried everything mentioned. I'm struggling to think of a normal food that I haven't

I’m the same - too embarrassed to say I’ve never tried something so ‘everyday’ that I just say I don’t like it.

Ahhh I was thinking about this the other day. Mine is peanut butter. Just never fancied trying it - it just doesn't appeal

A lot of seafood - the idea of it just turns my stomach. Likewise offal.

I once worked with a woman who had never eaten a lot of what I consider really everyday things (pasta was one, also honey, and marmalade, but there were loads) until her 20s. Her sibling had a really severe phobia of vomiting, and the whole family only ate their “safe” foods.
