Which ordinary foods and drinks have you never tried ?

[WildRosie]

For me...

Marmite
Carrot cake
Black pudding
Lucozade

I've got to fifty and all these have so far passed me by. The likelihood is that won't change.

Meat :)

KFC
I just don't understand the appeal

Spam

KFC
Seafood

Curry and chilli - can't get past the smell unfortunately

Irn-Bru
Spaghetti hoops either as is, or on toast
Tofu
Tomato juice
Bagels

My aunt had never tried pasta. Blew my mind as a teenager

Avocado.
Long Island Iced tea.

KFC here too
Corned beef 🤮🤮
Offal (is it really ordinary food though?)
Spam
Steak and kidney pie
Treacle tart - I should rectify that!

McDonald's (have tried KFC though)
Aubergine

Gosh these are really common every day foods too that folks are mentioning.

I’ve never tried oysters, I just don’t fancy them at all.

I've never eaten a steak. It just wasn't something we had as kids and then I went Veggie at 11 so I've never tried one

Nuts
Cheese
Tomatoes (raw)
Seafood

There’s more but that’s probably bad enough. I’m a product of a mother who gave in to my demands as a child.

Mushy peas

Lots of brands of fizzy drinks as I hate fizz

I can't think of anything ordinary, off the top of my head. TBH I genuinely go out of my way to try new things, so I've probably tried everything that I've had the opportunity to.

People who've not tried really everyday things that are readily available i the supermarket (I'm thinking stuff like marmite or mushy peas or avocado or black pudding etc) do you not feel curious to try them, just once? They might end up being your new favourite food!

Porridge. I just can't get past the smell.

Figs- Is that ordinary? I can't think of anything!

Meat
Fish
Never will either

People who've not tried really everyday things that are readily available i the supermarket do you not feel curious to try them, just once? They might end up being your new favourite food!

My issue is that I wouldn't know what to do with them! I have never tried avocado or asparagus or scallops - I'm not ordering them in a restaurant as I might not like it and I don't buy it at home as I don't know what to do with it.

Black pudding is never passing my lips, just knowing what it is puts me off!

Why don't you just try them? You might surprise yourself, but the worst that can happen is that it confirms what you thought. I don't understand how people can lack so much curiosity about the world, particularly about foods which are well-liked by many!

I don't like cheese, so i've never had anything like camembert, mozzarella sticks, cheese on toast, etc.

@Fredoftheforest
You have never eaten meat?

McDonalds
KFC
Those Mexican food kits (El Paso?)
Irn-Bru.... keep meaning to try this
Sweet potato & Butternut squash.... think they will be very like swede

I have never tried avocado or asparagus or scallops

Scallops are a little tricky to cook perfectly but treat asparagus like you would any green veg...steam or lightly boil and have a side dish

@3luckystars - that’s right, I was raised vegetarian. I’ve never eaten any type of meat, fish or poultry.
